Yeah sure, they will be voted out of office and who will then come in? Will the new ones be any better? Most certainly not. We have had a couple of major overhauls of congress in the last couple of decades and what exactly did any of them do? If you consider doing NOTHING as doing something, then they all get high grades.

That's reallyhard to tell, isn't it??? In any event, should we keep giving the current goons positive re-enforcement by re-electing them??? I think term limits would be a significant step inre-directing the way that business is done there. First step is...everybody there is out!!!

the only problem with that is, with term limits the career bureaucrats end up running the show. are they any better?

I don't know if I subscribe to that theory, especially if we haven'tdiscussed theparameters on the term limits. With staggered elections and perhaps the limitset on two termsthere would still be a lot of "experience",and weightfrom the members side.
Afriend of mine is the chief clerk for thesenate appropriations committee and from talking to him,many of the bureaucrats (if people like him are the ones you're referring to)just think of it as a day job. I know he can't wait to get the heck out of dodge after the days over.
In any case I think it'd be a nice little shake-up for the system. imo,the congress was always intended to be populated by citizen statesmen who did not see it as their life's calling and feel entitled tocreate such abuse of taxpayer money, especially when it comes their own direct benefits. There should be no special retirement plan for elected officials....again....just get the hell out

there are many good ones, but i have met more than a few with agendas of their own.
more importantly, what does the West Virginia Senate Appropriations committee do? figure out how many surplus possums and squirrels get handed out to each ADC household? i mean, you guys are still on a barter system down there, right?
Yes, we need to throw all the bums out on their fat butts. The problem is that many of them will be replaced by politicians who are just as scummy as those we threw out of office. Reason: By the timea politicianhas gained enough stature to run for theUS congressthat person has alreadyformulated his/her position onnearly every issue. Before they are elected to the US congress mostarealready in the pockets of all of the interest groups that support thathis/herparty.
The solution, throw them all out about every four years.
