Enough of career politicians. They've had too much practice at lying. __________________ Lucas McCain the Rifleman: A man doesn't run from a fight, Mark...but that doesn't mean you should go running *to* one, either.

We already have term limits, they are called elections. In Congress particularly, the representatives are accountable to the people that elected them first, so, for example, if the people of Mass. keep deciding to re-elect that fat drunken socialist windbag Ted Kennedy no matter hwo many people he kills what business is it of me in Georgia what they do? Now, I know that once a person gets in office, it is hard to get rid of them. There are a lot of reasons for that, but most of the reasons can be summed up by a stupid electorate. Hard to fix that. Also, term limits are not in the Constitution. __________________ 1 TIMOTHY 1 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
