Years in the senate... - The Hull Truth

CMP · 05-21-2008, 03:03 PM

With fatboy on his way to meet his maker, there's alot of talk about how long these scumbags waste our money in the Senate. I heard on a radio show that that senile old fool spector was number 16 on the tenure list at 28 years. 28 phukking years? Does anyone else find the hackdom of these tax-fattened hyenas antithetical to good gubmint (if there is such an animal)???

I DO!!! There are some idiots in congress.

The solution is simple. All we need to do is get Congress to pass a term limits bill that will limit them to, say, two terms.

Why do I get the nagging feeling that the sitting Congress would never pass such a bill ???

Speaking of years in the Senate, did you see senator KKK Bird breakdown yesterday over his buddy Ted? What a loser.

Seemed like some very serious emotions for a "casual" relationship.[img]../images/emoticons/wink.gif[/img]

problem is it takes that long to get to know how things go and how to get things done

i say two term limit and you can run again if you want.. but if you lose...death

the problem is people who vote a straight dem. or rep. ticket. the people can inforce there own term limits by voting out all incumbents. but sadly this will never happen just like congress will never pass a term limit bill.

I have been saying for years that there should be term limits. The problem is that they would have to make that law, and I can not see that happening.

Is there a way that we can as citizens demand term limits? Imagine the work that might be able to get done if they are not worried about getting re-elected.

I will be right back.......................gotta go and light up my crack pipe. [img]../images/emoticons/biggrin.gif[/img][img]../images/emoticons/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mark, I suspect that this Rat Bastard killer is heading in the other direction. Although come to think of it ... He could have come from Hell.

It would take an Amendment to enforce term limits. The Constitution does not allocate term-limit authority to anybody so a law could be challenged and would likely be voided by the courts. Same problem getting it through Congress though.

It's up to us sheeple to vote out the incumbents or...'old wood' you could say.
That goes for both sides of the aisle...but mostly the left side

Also some idiots that keep voting for them, hell we had people still voting for Strom Thurmond and he was 100 yrs old NO CRAP and sad to
say but if you put his name back on the ballot this year it would scare me how many people would vote for him after he is dead
