Term Limits, redistricting et al
Published on November 28, 2004 By PlatotheWise In Democrat
The time for change is upon us. Our country is not changing with the times of the land and our political leaders are abandoning the people of the nation. We the people of the United States must stand up and be heard!!! It is time to throw out all of the politicians who have led us to this sorry state of affairs. I don't just mean the Republicans!!! Lets get some people willing to work for the majority of us. All the politicians seem to just want to get re-elected. Screw the people. Hand them some pork and get back to business as usual. Let's stick term limits on service in both houses like we have on the Presidency. Lets have outside nuetral parties draw the districts for political office. Let's get rid of this huge budget deficit now!!!! Let's change the rules and throw these hacks out of office. The current system will just give us more of the same. There is no shame in admitting the system has broken down. Power has a way of corrupting even the most ethical stalwart. This is the time for change!!! Huge amounts of money are spent each election year trying to keep those in power in power. They hate change. They would lose their cushy job and great healthcare. It sure seems the only time they try and reconnect with thier constituents is at election time. Then they prance about crowing how they got funding for this or that project and how they have served so well. What a bunch of baloney!!!!!. We see thier wonderful campaign ads blasting the challengers character, lifestyle, career choices and so on.
Do we really need this waste of money ? Isn't it about time the Politicians went to work for us. We pay their salaries!!! Aren't we sick of self serving politicians? Let's send the current crop to the unemployment line and show them who they really should be representing. Maybe this is just a dream, maybe the system is incapable of change. I have to believe in the dream though that change is possible.

Do you honestly think that will solve the problems? No way Jose! You get rid of one bunch and another bunch just like them will move in.

Thanks for the laugh. A good way to start out the day.

I wonder if this entry would have been written if Kerry had won and Democrats took over the majority of both Houses.

Hate to tell you but it sure would have. Didn't really like John Kerry either. He seems to be exactly the type I am talking about. He plays at politics, swaying back and forth by the winds of the latest opinion polls. There has not been a really good candidate for President in a long time. I wish this would change. The United States needs a great president to pull us out of the mess we have been led into by our current crop of selfish leaders. I mean just look at Tom Delay, his situation makes me think of Dan Rostenkowski all over again and he was a Dem. Heck Delay should step aside for the good of the country but he won't. I think outside, non-political organizations should draw the district boundaries for all elected officials. I really wish we had strict term limits on both houses as we have on the office of President. I wish for a strict and harsh code of ethics that boots those idiots out when they run afoul of the law. But then again maybe I am just dreaming. Maybe I want to live in a utopian society where all are equal brothers and sisters, where all look out for the good of the whole. But then again that's just my warped brain.
