Bring on term limits.

These guys become D.C. residents, and believe they are entitled to special benefits.

Limit 'em to about five to eight years, and then say no employment as a lobbyist for five more years.

NO WAY MAN.

You wouldnt want your doctor to quit because he had 10 years experience. Term limits arent the answer. SA city council has 2 - two year limits and last year 3 of the 11 city council men were arrested for corruption and bribery. Most SA city council members view it as 'how can I get rich while I am in here for 4 years?'

How come everyone wants all the others to have as much experience as possible - attourneys, stock traders, contractors, doctors, etc, but when it comes to DC, we want outsiders and amateurs. Mr. Smith was never supposed to go to washington. Read the constitution.

If you are pro-term limits, Tom Delay isnt the poster child. THe poster child for term-limits is WV's Senator Robert Byrd. That dude is like 419 years old. And hes an idiot.

Everyone hates congress, but thinks their congressman is just fine. Quite the paradox.
