As I see in recent events in Caracas, Hugo Man of a thousand faces has advocated that the term limit law be eliminated so his loving fans can have him for ever and ever as their El. Presidente. Now that makes me think on some level how has that worked for us?
Our President has two terms to make thing either bad, good or neither. but congress can go on forever......Note the low standings of our Presidents approval ratings...Bad... lowest in history some have said. Compare those ratings with Congresses(sic) Ratings......abysmal...
The American public has no confidence in our elected officials...Know why? Its because they don't get anything done, they don't pay attention what the people want, and they spend the bulk of their time in getting reelected....so now they have something akin to a roman senate or a house of lords only one that has real voting power.
Term limits my friend....give em two rounds like the president and then change over...really make those lobbyists work for their pay... make those Senators and reps work for it too throw in a budget cap on campaign spending and we have got a winning combo.....yeah I know some of that doesn't sound like a Republican position, but It seems like its what we need to do in order to get things done I mean look at any of us......we cant get together and vote ourselves a raise at work.... if you knew your replacement might get more than you did you might not be in favor of that raise....If you knew your time in Congress was limited you might work harder to get things done(I work better most times with a deadline) and you might go with what you really feel for your decisions and do whats "right" instead of what you think might get you elected......
Sometimes you have to shake things up a bit......
