How’s that for not needing the Congress.

The “tone” of leadership acting in this way for their own short-term political benefit, rather than doing what is best for the nation and future generations is a huge problem. That tone will change instantly if they begin to believe that the voters will throw them out on their ears if they keep it up. Again, there is a startling tendency for voters to re-elect their Sen. or Rep. if he/she holds committee chairs even when the person clearly needs to go.

You are also correct in that a real key is to wake-up and educate voters. Sadly, history teaches us that many are very sound sleepers, perhaps even comatose, though still somnambulating to the polling places. On the bright side, this primary season is looking pretty encouraging, at least in the Senate.

The conservative Republicans can keep the name of Republican, but call it the Conservative Republican Party, and then lets go kick some liberal butt. Reinstate the Constitution as the REAL law of the land. Put the election of Senators back into the State Senates not the popular vote, make these jokers responsible to someone who will do something about them. NO MORE career politicians. TERM LIMITS on the pack of these jackals. I don’t care if they are good conservatives or not. I remember when Ron Paul first ran for office, no more than 3 terms he promised, and no raises either. He even returned money for office staff. What happened to him?? CAREER politicians are automatically CROOKS!

Rid us of all of them with term limits, get them out with no more than 2 terms for Senators and 4 for Representatives. Make them go back and live under the laws they stick us with.

All the talk about corruption, tone, term limits, seniority means nothing when the electorate gets involved. If people want real change in politics, they need to spend the time, money, and effort waking voters up and educating them. Nothing else will ever work.

Name recognition. So no new candidates would have name recognition? No one who has served in another branch or is well known through the state would run? How about name recognition via tons of commercials……… This argument is really absurd.

Stupid voters. So somehow term limits will make the voters smarter? Are you saying they will not fall for the new cons lies? Come on……..

And you say it will break up corruption. How is that going to be achieved? So somehow replacing everyone every 6, 8, 10 years is going to make them not be corrupt while they are in office?

Absurd, absolutely absurd.

There are term limits, they are called elections. And if someone needs fired, we need to be educating the voters and making them understand the need for change. Term Limits do nothing to stop the bad stuff and only remove the good ones we have such as DeMint. Term limits are a stupid idea backed by lazy people unwilling to work for what is right.

What some people can?t get through their heads yet is that there are Progressive Liberal Republicans. A Progressive is a dangerous person and an enemy of freedom as we have known it for the past 236 years. Progressives have to be stopped no matter what their party. They have been infiltrating the Party for many years now and slowly taking it over. Both of the Bush Presidents, Karl Rove, Boehner, McConnell and McCain just to name a very few of them.

As I said in my banner The time has come for a Party of and for The People. We need a WTP party ?We the people?. This needs to happen soon or it may be too late. It may already be too late.

Unfortunately though, the SCOTUS has already declared term limits for federal congressmen (not state congressmen) to be unconstitutional. There would need to be a Constitutional amendment.

PS Term limits will not stop one bit of the problems in politics and to claim otherwise is moronic. The only thing that will cause politicians to tow the line is an involved electorate. It is a lazy fool who calls for forced term limits.

When the registered who do not vote see this process as-is ,why would they WANT To get involved? Many ,seing this mess ,would just scrape it up with a ‘dozer and haul it away To a dump. {metaphorical, of course}

You ,myself and everyone here Knows non-engagement is futile.”If you do not engage, it catches up to you and runs you down..” , is a mantra I espouse constantly. {…and sends many fleeing…}

How to get them to engage has no set formula. The One Thing I find that is constant, is to take a personal example [affecting them] and make the engagement totally Their Idea. Once this occurs, more often than not ,they’re off to the races.

Then, you watch them for your old foibles, burnout……
