They need to figure out how they're going to get 12-20 million illegal immigrants out of my country, not call me names and make them legal.
Its time to seriously consider term limits, its the only way to remove people like Teddy Kennedy who has been in Congress for over 44 years.
Where am I wrong?
Um, did you actually READ YOUR OWN POST?
Just how exactly do you expect to get term limits with the corrupt & contemptuous despots in there now?
WE, as in US, as in We the People, need to clean house. This requires voting the bastards out and bringing in fresh blood across the board. Very, very few in Congress today are worthy of returning (IMHO).
Now hold on there, cowboy, let's not go galloping off in all directions. President Washington advised against political factions/parties, but both these parties were, in fact, found during his second term in office.
Thomas Jefferson's (left wing)Republican party, complete with scalding newspaper articles, editorials, and pamphlets. In the twinkling of an eye came the right wing Federalist, headed by Alexander Hamilton, complete with scalding newspaper... Well, you get the idea.
Frankly,IMHO, when all is said and done, the United States has been very lucky to have a two party system -- an example and mind set from Mother England. After all, we could have a multi-party system like, say, Italy ; or a single party state like, say, North Korea.
Congress hasn't been able to accomplish anything meaningful (meaning positive outcome to the electorate) in a couple of centuries. Then again, when 95% of the incumbents who run get re-elected every election why should they?
Congress doesn't fear the voter one iota. We are seeing that clearly displayed in the Senate with this shameful amnesty bill.
How could the confidence ratings be so low when there are so many confidence men - and women - running Congress?
