So let me get this straight by having term limits you would get rid of experienced politicians and replace them with pols who know very little about most areas of government.
That has some very nasty implications, first off, you've just given the power in government to the bureaucracy and the lobbyists. If the pol does not know about the issue, how are they going to find out more, listen to their aides, the lobbyists and the the government bureaucracy. larry On 11/4/05, Nick McClure <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > First, you can't run for one office while already holding another. > > I hate it when people run for President while sill a Senator or a > Governor or whatever.
