Support Term Limits (none / 0)

Two terms in the Senate or 12 years,

Six terms in the house or 12 years.

Put the republicans on the defensive. After all they wrapped themselves in the mantle of term limits in '94 and have nothing to show for it besides corruption. If Democrats want to undo the "Great Backlash" atmosphere in AMerica, they need to do the easy things like support term limits.

Oh, and to those of you who don't like term limits, shall we revoke them on the Presidency? Bush '08 anyone?

I also came to the conclusion 12-year term limits were the right length.

there's a difference here: Congress is based on seniority. any state that enacts term limits will effectively castrate their representatives. unless it's done on a national level, it's unfair.

I'd prefer proportional representation to term limits.

Neither one is likely to happen anytime soon but as long as we are talking it's a no brainer for me to chose the one over the other.

We SHOULD revoke term limits on the presidency. Clinton 2000, anyone? We have a major problem with non-competitive elections in this country, but in this case teh cure is worse than the malady. I just don't like teh idea of being told I *can't* vote for someone. (The first vote I cast in my life was for William Proxmire's sixth term.)
