The problem is the "seniority" system. Power is put into the hands of a few people who have the ability to be re-elected. The solution? Term limits (I know, I'll put my tin foil hat on). And you are correct, good men and women leave the sewer and we are left with the garabage pit of human thought as exenplified by dashole and kennedy and their ilk.

You won't hear me complain about term limits. They put Willie Brown on the street here in CA and caused him to be thrust upon the deserving scum of San Francisco, who are now beginning to see close up what his policies can do to civil life, rather than him being able to hide in Sacramento. They may have their downside, but it's been refreshing to see leftist diehards get bounced after 2 terms because it didn't matter who they extorted for re-election money after their time was up.

"Tin foil hat" my ass. You're right, so don't apologize for it.

Term limits are the ONLY way to take a giant step toward limiting our Federal government. It has gotten way out of control (Understatement of the Week), and incumbents are fed millions by those who seek their favor.........and they keep winning. They get addicted to the power, the "glory", the............................................control.

Now, we even hear people screaming for the Feds to "bail out" all of the investors in and employees of the failed Enron Corporation. There's no such thing as a "tough break" any more that the Fed can't fix. Terrorists attack NY? EVERYBODY gets a fat check..........courtesy of the Fed. A major corporation goes tits-up? EVERYBODY gets a fat check.......................courtesy of the Fed (what, you say? no such thing has happened???.................I say to you.............hide 'n' watch).

No hurts, no ills, no pains, no troubles: Your FED is standing right behind you; robbing from the working (forget that "rich" bromide), giving to the lazy or "unfortunate" (forget that "poor" nonsense).

Our Federal Government represents nothing more than one, giant Income Redistribution Engine. Anyone who thinks otherwise, no matter WHO is in the White House, is on serious drugs.
