Not saying we can't fix it, just that all the politicians have become career politicians rather than normal citizens going from their job, doing a service, then returning to their jobs. Thus, corruption, greed and personal agenda's override them voting for what we the people want them to vote for. IMO

Of course we can fix the problem of career politicians. Some of them are being fixed today. We just vote them out of office. The problem is lots of Americans, just like me, have sat back on cruise control and let the politicians take over.

I finally decided to do something about it, at least concerning the Second Amendment. The NRA asked me to be the Election Volunteer Coordinator for US Congressional District 2 and after thinking it over, I accepted. Now I am working to build a group of people who will work to elect pols who support the Second. Any of you who live in District 2 and want to make a difference, send me a PM. If not, well.....

One word: term limits!!!

We already have term limits.......see above.

No, we don't. There is nothing you can do to get Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, et.al. out of office. They keep getting elected because they buy the votes need to do so with pork and earmarks. Career politicians is why we have rampant corruption now.

If you don't like term limits why limit the president to two terms?

We don't need an armed revolution..what we need is an informed electorate that holds the elected accountable for their actions and votes them out if they don't hold true to their election promises.
I understand this is a utopion theory, but I can remember two years ago when the tea party folks started sending in tea bags to their reps.
Some of the main stream consertives said this was the stupidest thing they had ever seen....guess what?
The Tea party is on the tongue of every liberal on TV right now, causing this landslide.
Amazing how they can't feel the pulse of the nation.
They are already demonizing Sara Palin tonight.......Scared arent they??:D

Oh yeah, every state question I said should pass.....did.

Never said I did not like term limits, I just said, for example, the people of Nevada could have term limited Dingy Harry, but they did not. We have no say in their election.

I would not want to see Tom Coburn get term limited out before his work is done. Legislated term limits cuts both ways. Lots of the Obama health care voters were term limited out of office by their voters. I think voting them out of office is the way to go.
