I've already committed myself to this.
Dump them ALL... State and Federal level.

My Mob name is : Kill Bill.

Helluva great poster!! Bravo

Here's 90% of the solution: ONE term limits for ALL of Congress. Keep the two terms for the President. One 6 year session for Congress. 1/3 of the House and Senate roll out every 2 years. Problem = Career Politicians. This solves the problem.

Although I agree we need to recycle, I don't think that this is the answer for our politicians. After all, since they are 99% BS and 1% hair and fingernails, they are probably biodegradable. So let's send them to Oregon and some hippie can plant a tree with them. Now that is some good fertilizer!

I'm doing my best to recycle Harry Reid. Danny Tarkanian, (the basketball coach's son) is running against him. I'll do what I can.

Alan, take it from a Fresno State grad, when Tark 'the Shark' was here (and at UNLV for that matter), he was always going back and forth over the fine line of NCAA violations. I doubt that his boy would be any less of a crook than he was. But it is probably worth a shot to get a career politician with a history of f-ing up the U.S.A. out on his a$$ and off the payroll.

Unless we modify the golden parachute packages owned by persons elected to national office, we will be paying for the premier benefits of even MORE politicans.

Take away THEIR health care plan and give them all Medicaid as a benefit; no more free postage; take away the limos and make them use public transportation in DC; make them fly coach commercial (with a limit of one trip a month, and then only to their home district; all other trips at their own expense); provide them with government subsidized apartments in the poorest part of DC.

THEN see how many of the dilletantes and professional politicians want to keep their jobs in Congress and the Senate. Any persons with America's best interests truly at heart would agree to make the sacrifices necessary, not attempt to soak the public to support their hedonistic, libertine, self-indulgent lifestyles.

And all of the above should be required for anyone representing a lobby, too.

I'm certainly on board for recycling all of them, but I don't want to support more and more of them, either.

If we're going to recycle, let's do it right, not go out and buy fresh fruits and vegetables just for the compost heap.

I don't like what slinks, slithers, and slimes its way through the halls of Congress right now. I also don't like term limits that have the effect on rare occasion of forcing a truly effective and righteous public servant out of office for life after one, two, or three terms.

What I'd really like is a new national tradition, maybe enforced in the law, to make every elected official, all of them, lame ducks. The day any person takes an elective office, that person is barred from nomination to either that or any other elected office until the current term of the office in which he or she now serves has expired. No re election ever, for anyone. No resigning one office to run for another, before your term is run out. But you can serve in the same office or a series of different offices as many times as you can get elected without any advantage of incumbency. Every office would always be an "open seat", even though both of the leading candidates might have served there two or four years ago. And those candidates would always have spent at least a few months in the private sector.

I would also bar any public official or government employee from running for office before resigning from their government position and resuming a life in the private sector.

Admittedly, the same people that serve now would be running through revolving doors between private and public offices to compile long political careers. But advantages that go with incumbency would never influence a political race again.

And who was the last President to launch his campaign from a position in the private sector?
