... and hauling out the Contract with America? Boy that died a horrible death didn't it? Whee! Term limits on committee chairs in the House... Big whoop. CA didn't change a damn thing, it was a sham from beginning to end. But the best lies are the ones with a nugget of truth in them aren't they? Kinda like the Compassionate Conservative manafesto... a whopper of a lie with a few nuggets of truth in them. Don't be decieved...

No, complete term limits on all elected officials, means that our entire government will basically have to fire itself if it ever enacts a such a law. Which will never happen, that would be like me firing myself after 3 years at a job because it's time for someone else, it's a hard thought, and one that's extremely unlikely to ever see the light of day, but I do believe that our government should serve the people. And that our current system is not serving that end. It's pretty clear.

Why would a corporation invest tons of time and money on a senator or rep when they only have 2 or 3 terms to be the puppet of the special interest? Being able to only "rent" a senator for a limited time, and then being forced to start the courting process all over again would make it cost INeffective to continue.

As for sending their own senators into the mix, should complete term limits be implemented, don't they do that already today? At least with term limits, they wouldn't be able to entrench that stoolie, and would be forced to re-invest in a new stoolie every so often. Also an expensive proposition. And one thing corporations hate with a passion is spending their money.
