Elections do not limit terms.


They would if we'd adopt a philosophy of "throwing the rascals out" when
its time to vote. Sadly, most of us think instead, "Well, he's an idiot,
but he's MY idiot" and reelect the SOB for another term.

Politics in this country (any other?) has never been nice. OTOH, with the
dawn of big government (Roosevelt era? Johnson era?) the rascals
discovered they could bribe us with our own money. Their latest ploy is
McCain Feingold which alleges to maintain the integrity of the electoral
process, but in fact severely limits challenges to incumbency. So far,
the Supreme Court has bought it!?!


Exactly. Since we haven't adopted the philosophy of "throwing the rascals
out" and are clearly not about to we need to limit the terms of
congresscritters via constitutional amendment as was done with the
presidency.
