The only federal politician I have a problem with (and it's a big one) is linda graham.
Senators cannot be recalled. And she just won the pubbie primary by using her six million dollar warchest.
IMHO, politicians should not be allowed enough time in Washington to build up a multi-million dollar campaign slush fund.
If they are term limited, it would reduce the need for $$.
Again, IMHO, 12 years in Wash DC is plenty.
Personally, I'd like to see a restriction that says if you've held public office, you can't ever go to work for a lobbying firm. But I suspect that would trample on personal rights.
Like I said...are you really going to trust the pols in DC to write term limits? We already have it...right now. If the electorate becomes engaged then things will change. Our system of govt is based on an engaged electorate. If that part doesnt work dont expect the rest to.
Its surprising how many here talk down about DC until they find themselves in a hard place then look to the same corrupt outfit for a bail out. Really FR is no better than DU in the ‘quality’ of participants. Theyre all running after more civil govt.
