Piglet 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hmmmm....four liberal Democrats and a conservative Republican. Nothing I see that they all have in common, except, gee, they've all been sitting in Congress since Reagan or earlier. Wonder what they're up to. Personally, I'm against it. That's the Amendment that limits the President to two terms, which was good when Clinton was in office, and is good now. No Presidents-for-life in THIS beautiful country, no sir! Political leaders need to be changed as often as diapers, for the same reasons, as evidenced by the fact that the Republicans we elected to get rid of the corrupt, entrenched Democrats in 1994 are now corrupt, entrenched Republicans doing the same old politics as usual.

TrueBlue72 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I believe that government "service" should be limited to 8 years, PERIOD!!! Whether it is as councilman, mayor, governor or president. Eliminate career politicians and you eliminate many of the ills of our system of government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locally, Alvin Holmes and Larry Dixon need to go. We don't need people who's been around 15-20-30 years still hangin around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm definitely in favor of term limits for U.S. offices (President/House/Senate)...on the state level, let it be a state issue. To stay on topic, the 22nd amendment is fine as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go as far as to cut back the life time pension they get for serving as well. That would save the country a whole lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tigrinum Major Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I don't ever see this being repealed. And it shouldn't be. There are people out there that would not follow the noble example of Washington and would run until they died (like Senators and Representatives do). Eight years of one man's leadership is enough, no matter which side of the aisle you sit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
