These guys care only for their own jobs and the power that comes with those jobs. They care little to nothing of their constituents and their country.

They’re a bunch of hack lawyers who are too lazy and tired of working in law firms and want to hang onto the power (and sex) of being in congress. Oh yes, and their pensions and gold plated health insurance.

Term limits!!

Thank you Mamn, I've been saying the same thing about term limits for years, so has VetsCoR. Not only term limits, but reduced congressional sessions. The less time they are in DC, the less damage they can do. That is one reasons why Texas is one of the most free States in the union. Their legislature meets every other year.

Besides repealing the 17th Amendment (big mistake), we need an Amendment for term limits and/or reduces Congressional sessions - think Newt gave it a shot.

Yeah, I know I'm dreaming. Still, with some 30 something Republican State Governors, the time may be ripe, providing enough are actually not RINOS. It doesn't take a Constitutional Convention to pass an amendment. Without pulling out my Constitution handbook, I think it only takes a majority of States to suggest an amendment. However, it takes 3/4ths to pass it. I'm tired, so I could be wrong.
