No thanks. Doing that in 2010 is exactly what gave us the 80-member House caucus of obstructionists that have never before held political office, refuse to compromise based upon "principle", made this the most inefficient and do-nothing House in history, lowered our credit rating by nearly causing us to default, and have done nothing but pass anti-abortion bills trying to implement big government takeover of our private lives, and remove our rights.

Congress is no place for amateurs.

I do agree with one thing: we have term limits now. It's called "voting".

Taking away the one thing that citizens have to control their representatives: the threat to remove them from office - makes no sense. As seen in Illinois, term limits do nothing in itself to control corruption.

We have an elected Congress that is mostly beholden to their corporate masters, not to the citizens. Term limits won't change that in the least. Removing the last and only method citizens control over their representatives? Getting money out of politics, reversing crazy decisions by activist conservative judges like Citizens' United, will. That's entirely what the Occupy movement is about. Making corporate ownership of our government a thing of the past, and returning our current plutocracy to a democracy.
