Absolutely. It would limit the ability of congressman to shovel the pork. Also it would cut down on the good old boy type of crap.

12 years max for senators and congressman.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I agree.


--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

I am glad that there is some consensus here about it. I think this would be a good way to at least try to keep corporate lobbyists, and corporations in general, out of the pockets of politicians. In fact, I'm was thinking a limit of two terms, stricter than the 12 years. This would cut down on politicians who's main focus seems not to be to serve their state and community, but to continue to get reelected and to raise campaign funds.

Now where are the leftists on this subject? We've got 3 of the big 4 chiming in on the right, but not a single person from the left. What gives?

I dont necessarily oppose term limits as such; however, limiting the POTUS to 8 years has not led to a fairer election process. Moreover, i have already voted for my local representative more than twice; and i would not want to see her forced to leave office so long as she continues to oppose the Shrub. And a 3rd Clinton administration would obviously have been preferrable to the Shrub too.

OTOH, the electorate should be given more power to remove federal judges such as Scalia with a judicial retention election. In practice, however, few ppl participate in such elections at the state level.
