OH BOY! Who wants more political spam? As for term limits, they are not Constitutional and have been stricken down every time. If you hate YOUR incumbent, than attempt to vote them out. If I happen to like my representation, then my first amendment rights of fredom of politcal speech (by silencing my vote for the person I want) is threatened. It always amazes me why people want to effect everyone else's political choices when a good 70% of the people here are too damn lazy or stupid to vote themselves. :roll:

Okay, what am I missing here? How is that (the part in bold)? How does voting out an incumbent affect your rights...????

If you don't want to put a lid on corruption, then don't vote any incumbent out... isn't that your choice no matter what my choice is?

Have you looked at this web site? This is the Million Vet March... I respect them.

..."Vote for me and I'll set you free"...isn't that the way it goes?...

Vote for me.

I'll raise income taxes to 98.6%.

I'll somehow raise gas prices to $5.00 a gallon.

And the most important I will never let another hurricaine hit New Orleans.

Funny, I wrote this whole thing about how you were in, and I totally believed you... because I was so excited about your hurricane promise. Then I realized I'd gotten so excited that I'd forgotten the first two things you were going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder some of these guys get in... they are the result of short term memory loss. I bet they pay for Tums ads, to reduce stomach acid and therefore the amount of B12 in all those people...

:sad:

Political Spam

Hi,
Okay, I'm thinking about it for several minutes and I'm surprised. I'm unclear.

I guess if I was thinking about political spam I'd be thinking it was for a particular candidate.

This is more about an idea...

though I forget that there is the candidate mentioned in the post.

I think of this post as being about asserting our "power" as voters. To me, if we voted people out, they'd be much more aware of us as voters. this way, the way it is now, incumbents tend to be returned over and over again.

I don't know. It never occurred to me that it was spam...

It is my personal policy to vote against every and all incumbents regardless of party or how much I like them.

Political office was never meant to be a career.

I am very impressed.
I wish I had been doing as you say!

No, it wasn't for sure. But that's what it's become.
