We sit on here and bicker about silly stuff while in my opinion our government and our two party system are broken. Corruption is the name of the game in Washington and we are all the victims. I say keep kicking out the incumbants every two years until we flush the system. It's time to tell our government they work for us, not us for them. Once that is accomplished, term limits. Comfort is death in Washington, it's the killer of decency and integrity. That's my suggestion to help America.

I agree but nothing will change. I guarantee that. We are too damn lazy to stand up and demand change. Sorry, but it's true.

I like most of what you say, however term limits are not needed except by those to lazy to take enough interest in government to be informed and vote. I say the two parties need to have their noses rubbed in the fact that there are alternative parties out there. My favorite is the Libertarians, even when I think they're wrong, such as national defense.

Nice rant Ken, but is there a question in there some place. I think what you are going for is a complete overhaul of government. While it looks good on paper it will sadly never happen. We are stuck with rich old men making laws that effect everyone of us, but that is exactly why the constitution is set up as it is. It is suppose to be a continued revolution, one without guns and with only votes. as long as you have half the people not interested in their fate, and do not vote, this will never happen. Sorry for the bad news.

for all those who support multi party systems...look at other multi party governments around the world.
you'll see that they have even more problems than our own. 10 different parties all trying to push their own agenda means that no single party wins a majority and cannot get anything done. this means that coalition governments have to be formed which creates a de facto two party system.
as for term limits, they aren't without their drawbacks. true, you allow fresh blood into the system and it is easier to remove corrupt officials, but you are left with a congress of...newbies. most of them not knowing the system.

I agree however the question is what are you going to do? A flip flop of the seats from dem to rep and vis versa? Vote pure independant? Vote third party and honestly some of these third parties are out there.
Change for the sake of change is bad, you should always change to something better. If a viable independant or alternative shows up I would be all for it, but I won't just vote for some one for the sake of change, there is no telling what you might get.

Term Limits, my a**!!!!!!
In 1994 both Democrats & Republicans took a pledge to only serve 2 terms in the House if elected. They swore.
After 2 terms all the Republicans retired from the House.
NOT ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT DID. They just lied to get elected.
They fooled the gullible Democrat Voters, just like in this last election.
