One term, two terms max. Political office was never intended to be a career. Serve the people of your area, then go back home and let somebody else do it. George Washington in a letter to James Madison had this to say, "As the first of every thing in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent, it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles." He wrote the letter during the time he was asked to run for a third term.

Most of these guys are now self serving bums. On both sides of the isle. Where else can you vote yourself a raise, collect full retirement after 1 term, vote on a healthcare bill that you and your family are 100% exempt from, etc. Politicans today feel they are above the common man.

Oh, and sheeple, my two favorites from uninformed idiots:
> I vote for somebody based on the color of his skin.
> I voted for him because he is cute.
Then these uninformed people find out what they really voted for after the fact...Maybe there is something to administering a basic intelligence test before you are allowed to register. Telling time on an analog watch could be question 1

Last time I checked, you have to be willing, able and discrimanitly kill folks in order to have a war. There is no "war" on drugs, crime or anything else that they are touting as war. We aren't even at war in iraq, afganistan or anywhere else, those are just like vietnam, a "Police Action". War is for conquering the foe and taking their lands for your own. War is for the purpose of aquisitions of land, people and everything else. We don't do that so it isn't war, we just go to force our point of view with military insurgence.
