[Hoot Gibson]

Start from scratch. Punt every single politician out of Washington. All of them. Theyve proven they are unwilling (like children) to work together, and theyve proven that they refuse to put the needs of the country above their own. Give them a 2 term limit and see how much more gets accomplished when "Career seat warmer" goes out the window.

The same quality people would be elected with term limits in place. They would just play an elaborate game of musical chairs moving from elected office to elected office. This country's problem is not with politicians, it is with the people who put them into and leave them in office. This nation thrived for more than 200 years with term limits almost identical to what we have today. The immoral, illiterate, ignorant, and apathetic have joined forces to give us the lowlife career politicians that are looting the federal treasury today.

I hate to say it, but we are probably on a downward spiral from which recovery is no longer possible. Hopefully, the nation that arises from the ashes of this one will not be even worse.
