I'm for term limits, and yet against them, too. For example:
For term limits:
Strom Thurmond should have been gone a looooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnng time ago!
Against term limits:
I miss Slick Willie.
However, I think the people should be able elect who they have confidence in and who they believe is best for the job. At the same time, I think over a period of time some politicians begin to lose sight of why they are in Washington, why they are mayor or why they are sitting on city council, etc. In that case, people should use their power and vote him/her out of office.
The last congressman from my home district set a self-imposted limit of two terms. He was a republican, but I think he did a great job in Washington. The people in my district wanted him to run again, but he chose not to. If only they all could remain so focused.
