The Presidential position has a two term limit. Would it be helpful if members of Congress also had a two term limit? We see a large number of politicians making politics their careers. I wonder who they are serving when it is necessary for them to raise money repeatedly, election after election. Our members of Congress who have been reelected repeatedly into the same or higher positions mover further away from serving the interests of the people and closer to the interest of serving big money. I wonder if current gridlocks could be explained by the interests of large contributors and if the arguments we're seeing one party against the other can be compared to the analogy of big business competition say for example Verizon v. Sprint. Is this too simple of an analogy?

We have already seen how career politicians-criminals destroy our country and build their own empires within "the system." Look at the political hacks such as Boehner, Reid, Pelosi, McCain, McConnell and Graham......years in the system crafting rules, regulations, and beaurocrat red tape to impede the "work of We the People." Our government is killing American Exceptionalism. We have people in the Capitol city that love leading the life of the aristocracy, feeding on the fraud, waste, and abuse that many of these lifelong parasites have worked their entire lives to create..... Vote the bums out!!!!!

I wish that all the energy being expended on gun control were shifted to government control and that term limits would be a good place to begin. Maybe we should mount a campaign. Let's assault them with a gale of laughter which, as Mark Twain espoused, would bring down any enemy. Think of all your favorite "lawyer jokes" and substitute "incumbent". For example...
What do you call a busload of incumbents trapped in a bus that's gone off the road and sunk in the ocean?
A good beginning.
