A five term limit in the House gives them 10 years sucking off the public tit. Two terms in the Senate gives them 12 years.

The longer these s.o.b.s sit in office, the more perks they create for themselves to set them off from the general class of citizens.

They are serial criminals.

A lot of Americans resent civil service workers. Elected officials are actually worse. Once in office, they use their position to generate favors - with taxpayer dollars - to help keep them there in future elections. It is generally virtually impossible to remove these creatures. The party apparatus becomes in debted to them and that gives them a leg up in the primaries.

LOOK at Grassely, Hatch, Kennedy, Spector, Murtha, etc.

Elected office was NEVER intended by the Founding Fathers to be a career position. It was meant to be a limited term of voluntary public service.

Yet we have the Nancy Pelosis, Harry Reids, John Kerrys, etc acting like they OWN those seats.

Exactly Right. The original intention was for these politicians to pass the laws that they would then go home to live under. It was not intended to be a career nor to be able to vote in a manner to keep themselves in office.

Exactly. The Founders were extraordinarily wise, but they could not foresee an America where Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd would have lifetime Senate seats and live like Oriental potentates on the public dole.
