re: #330 vinnievin

I know this is a tangent, but I would REALLY like to see term limits implemented throughout the political system. I understand that it is unlikely that they would vote to terminate their own lucrative jobs, but it is definitely something I would support as a voter.

I think I’m on the other side of this to be honest. I don’t like term limits. If someone is doing a good job for me then I should be able to vote for them as many times as I like.

Arnold found out the hard way and so will Meg Whitman if she is successful. You may THINK, as a non-politician, that you are going to come in and clean house and show those greed, stupid, lazy politician what is what. The reality is harshly different when they learn it’s a tough and complicated environment in which to operate. Personally I prefer a professional politician who knows how to get things done rather than some “anything you can do I can do better” upstart.

I’m willing to hear arguments on the other side but right now that’s about all I have to say.
