Some day, Americans are going to have to extract their heads from their butts and figure this game out. Nothing really gets done anymore because that just means the loss of a campaign issue.

The only thing I can think of at this point that “might” work is term limits. However on the flipside, it sure seems that our term limited legislators are doing all the damage they can do on the way out in Michigan.

Exactly. Besides, I don't see how their hearts can really be in it when it doesn't affect them because they're already exempt. It's been at least decades since we've had elected representatives of the caliber of those who said "Give me liberty or give me death", and the current crop even less so. Most of them are just the other wing of the globalist party or in it for their own personal power and ambition. The whole condition of modern politics makes it neccesarily so.

Just look at how we had to lean on our side in Congress to keep them from passing blanket amnesty. I know that issue will return. Just like the left doesn't give up on homo marriage until they've gotten their way, whatever it takes and no matter how many times it takes.

Glad my faith is elsewhere than in politicians. This country is soon to be no longer significant in world history.

Term limits is stupid. If a great statesman gets in office, a rotten one is being groomed and positioned to usurp him through manipulation of media and news. Only a guarded awareness of the moral and ethical traits of who you vote for is gonna change anything. You only force out the good one and make his place available to the rotten one just waiting in the wings. Term limits is a stupid response.
