Don't let any of them stay in Washington more than one term.
I tend to agree. Without the pressure of reelection, they're less likely to give in to bribes - BUT that wouldn't stop them from fucking us over in exchange for cushy industry jobs when they get out - so that would have to be addressed.

This is exactly how it works right now. It's called the Revolving Door. Look it up.

Term limits won't change this. Taking the money out of politics, starting with the repeal of Citizen's United, is pretty much our only hope.:2 cents::2 cents:

I know I'm dreaming saying this, but it's da troof.

but for you to make comments like "Everything took a shit in the last couple of months of his last term because of laws signed in the 90's.", shows you really don't know the whole story.

For a starting point, I recommend you watch the documentary Inside Job. Once you do, you won't be blaming one political party or another for what happened. You'll be thoroughly pissed at both for what's happened over the last 30+ years.

It all happened on a level above politics. Please watch it.
I will take time to watch that.
But you're assuming I'm blaming a political party.
I don't . I blame the fucking idiots that had any part of the housing bubble.
The politicians, bankers, mortgage brokers, people buying houses just because they thought they could, etc etc.
Lots and lots of ignorance and greed caused what happened in my opinion.
Sadly our country is still paying for that ignorance today.

It's only difficult because they spend their first term trying to get re-elected for their second term.

There is a reason we have term limits on being president. Shame we don't have them on congress. They are needed desperately.

Any idiot who thinks the president should have longer term limits, well, GTFO of the US you socialist/commie bastard. There is a reason we don't allow it for over 8yrs.

Robbie 01-06-2013 11:35 PM
yeah, after FDR was elected 4 times in a row...Congress decided that the Pres. needed term limits...but they, of course did not. :1orglaugh

Funny how that worked. lol

Mr Pheer 01-07-2013 02:27 AM
50 years of the same president

Why is it people don't happen to remember how that shit ACTUALLY went down?

And Obama got Obamacare done in 2 years. 1/2 of a term. I'd say that's plenty to get done in a term.
You just named one thing. But if you think that is a lot that even exaggerates my point even more. If good things are happening they should be able to stay in longer.

Obamacare isnt changing this country around. So what needs to be done for things to change couldnt be done in 1 term. Anyway. I hate politics. This is retarded. Im going back to 'Would you hit it threads'.

Not sure if my memory is right but I thought term limits that are not an amendment in the constitution were ruled illegal by Supreme Court

"Industry Role: Mobile"

Here's a great example of the 'revolving door'. Phil Gramm was a powerful senator who chaired the Senate Banking Committee.
  • He co-sponsored the bill that repealed Glass-Steagall, The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (aka the Citigroup Relief Act:disgust)
  • He also led the charge on the Commodities Futures Trading Modernization Act, which made it illegal for the govt to regulate derivatives like Collateralized Debt Obligations and Credit Default Swaps. These are the 'weapons of mass destruction' that nuked our economy to the tune of $12+ Trillion.

His gig after leaving office? Vice-Chairman of UBS.

That's how it works....

keysync 01-07-2013 04:58 PM
Pick them at random like jury duty and then execute them at the end of their term.

Problem solved.

really curious that

mineistaken 01-07-2013 05:30 PM
and why the heck would a republican initiate that? Do they think that Obama would have less chances than brand new democrat candidate?

The wiki page on that is eye opening isn't it.

Same guy wins the election over and over and his opponent only gets 3% of the vote... haha
