Oh, our fun-loving, whacky GOP leadership!

the problem isn't term limits. it's gerrymandering.

districts are drawn to maximize safety for the largest number of house members whose party controls the state legislature following the census every 10 years.

if dems are in control they draw as many safe democratic districts as possible. what's left over are safe republican districts because most of the dems have been jammed into other districts. the same thing happens when republicans control the process.

the solution to this problem isn't term limits. it's taking the power to draw districts away from politicians.

that will never happen though because voters are laughably stupid. they always fall for the line that having an appointed panel take on this job is anti-democratic. they want to believe that since "their" elected legislature does it, they actually have some input. suckers.

politicians drawing district boundries = uncompetetive districts. competetive districts = responsive elected officials.

i wonder why everyone thinks their elected officials are unresponsive?
