So much for term limits

While screaming about the necessity of term limits, especially for the 'other side', the narrative changes drastically when ones currrent term is about to end.

Then re-e******n is necessary to stop the 'other side and their ruinous policies'.


Sounds like a bit of hypocracy

Tell me how modestly well-off Democratic representatives can become millionaires in two terms and never get caught. I want their secret too!

He does support term limits and so do I!! We need new blood, Innovative thinkers and get out of the box, Risk takers.. Tried, true and old time is just not the cutting edge necessary in the progressive world we are either joining or fighting against. Read with interest,while doing so take note to the number of Democrats and their lightly stays in Senate:

=========================

Two six-year terms, three at the most should suffice. In addition to wanting younger senators, we need energetic, bright, and well-informed senators, not party hacks. Further, they need to build a staff that performs the many tasks beyond what one man can do while adhering to the directions and philosophy of their senator. Finally, we need to solve the problem of far too much time absorbed by soliciting funds to run for ree******n.

A possible solution, but with its own problems, is to revert to the manner of appointment of senators by their legislatures in the home state as originally done, I believe by the local senate.
