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
