Is it time for term limits?is our government in gridlock?

Question

it seem they can't get anything done for fighting each other. both sides are to blame for the lowest approval rating ever.

we need new blood in washington from the top down.

Answer 1

YES... but they won't do it.

WE need to.

STOP voting for anyone in office more then 2 terms.  It's that simple!!!!

There's NO REASON to have people like Kennedy and Kerry in there for 20+ years..... and THEN act surprised when they are up to their neck in corruption and special interests.

Answer 2

Yes, it's definitely time for term limits! It's time to toss out all the lawyers and political science majors out, ... they've gotten us into this mess, ... and do as it was originally intended. Average American citizens should be elected, serve a term or two, and then go back to their lives. What we have now is a bunch of idiots who've crowned themselves as royalty and have never lived a day as a normal adult American citizen with all the challenges that presents.

Answer 3

I agreee, the people (us) need to vote new blood in the Congress.  Problem is, most people don't care.  Politicans say whatever to get elected.  In fact, the winner usually is the one with deep pockets (usually incumbant) that buy ads and get their name all over the place, so that uneducated people will simply fill in that name simply becausethey are familiar with it.

Pay attention to your local races.  The one's who have the most billboards, yard signs, TV and radio commercials, will be the winner.

Answer 4

Elections are there to make you believe you have a choice.  You don't, nothing changes.  As you get older you will see.
