That was McCain. Doesn't mean anyone else believes that.

Hey McCain is the leader of his party...the "titular" leader of his party as he and Joe Lieberman have said. If he can't "lead" his party to vote for something he himself has said we need and that he would vote for....then all his claims about "leadership" really don't mean shit do they?

I didn't say we needed term limits because of pork barrel spending....I don't think one has anything to do with the other really. (A term limited congressman still has to come home and live in his district once his terms are up..why wouldn't he want new roads and bridges and libraries there?)
We need term limits for many many many other reasons.
The republicans in 1994 ran on a promise of term limits, and once they had the majority they decided they didn't need term limits anymore.
Then lo and behold, 10-15 years later, Washington corrupted them too.
I think we will, eventually, get term limits....but not this year or next, that's for sure.
