Overtime, only career politicians are in the positions of power! How will they maintain their positions? By giving away "goodies" to buy votes. As long as someone was dedicated to the concepts of liberty, freedom and personal responsibility, as far as I'm concerned they could stay there 40 years. We'd be better off than if they went in for 6 years and then got out. That would only open the seat up for a liberal career politician. But if we could get term limits enacted on everyone, I'd definitely be in favor! Darrell Hey,
