Integrity in Government

Over the years, both Democrats and Republicans have been caught with their "fingers in the till" and other problems. There is an email that has been going around for years showing how many of our representatives have gone bankrup, been arrested for various law violations, etc. but still the "People" tend to show confidence in their elected officials and re-elect them year after year. That is because they have made the laws to favor the incumbent and all the lobbyists know where the power is.

Perhaps we should have term limitations in Congress the same as for the Presidency. This would be a way of getting the deadwood out.

As an aside, there was a referendum in Venezuela last week that was the reverse of this and Chavez won. He can now run for re-election as many times as he wants. Goodbye freedom.
