Term limits???
That would definately get rid of a certain senator that likes to wash his car in the lake.
Term limits is an easy answer, but I don't really think they are a good thing. They might get rid of a bad senator or congressman, but they also force the good ones out. People just need to get a narrow focas on the top 3 or 4 issues that face our nation and vote out the politicians that refuse to work to fix them.
You can't blame the problems this country is facing on the politicians. People decide who to elect to office. People decise who should be voted out of office. We have the government that we deserve because we are the ones who hired them. Until we decide, as a country, to take our rights seriously things will continue to get worse. The single greatest thing you can do as a citizen is to exercise your right to vote. Not even have the people registered to vote do it. More then that don't even care enough to register. It is sad that people fought and died to win our right to govern ourselves and we don't care enough about our freedom to do it. No country on earth can defeat us, but we will defeat ourselves if people don't start taking their freedom seriously.
