You are among the many shining reasons as for why we need Congressional term limits!
Considering Ted's facing an FBI investigation and jail, why is he in the Senate? Trying to get another bridge to nowhere approved? :uhh:

Ted was allegedly taking kickbacks from an Alaskan developer so the FBI raided his home. Another class act in Congress.

Funny, about 33% of Congress has written a bad check. The New Orleans Rep. got caught with $90,000 in his freezer. Kickbacks for helping ppl start businesses in Africa. He's been indicted.

Of course, there is Rep. Barney Frank who got nailed paying for a gay hooker then letting the gay hooker do hooking out of his D.C. home.

And, of course, there's Ted Kennedy who only killed a woman.

Yes, Congress is whorehouse. Lobbyists own them.

If there were congressional term limits, it would force a turnover and allow for new blood to come in.
I won't say that's a bad idea, but whats the point when a new group of idiots come in to take their place?

I think half the country was CHEERING when they got their democratic congress, swearing things will get better, it is going to be a great change, but it turned out they had/have the lowest approval rating in history?!

People don't realize that too much of anything is a bad thing (a congress mostly democrats/mostly republicans).
Democrats over regulate but Republicans deregulate too much.

Here we are with the dollar's value dropping year by year (and the Euro going up and up) and we still won't go back on the gold standard. They would rather have the housing market make up the dollar's value and with bad credit and foreclosures it makes no sense. Not to mention when you send jobs overseas more and more people can't pay for their homes after they lose their jobs and it just further hurts the economy.

I swear this country is out to just shoot itself in it's fat, diabetic foot.

And then the incumbents could whine/cry about how they haven't had enough time to accomplish anything and how the n00bs won't know enough to be worthy of election.
Personally, I find that when politicians fail to do most things, we are usually better off.

Fortunately, we just shot down that particular proposition purchased by the politicians currently holding office but who are on their way out as a result of our term limits for these assholes.

Think about it, where would he get that metaphor when he obviously doesn't know much about the cyber-world?

But of course, it's just the kind of thing a lobbyist would use to influence such a person. The issue at the time was network neutrality - so a lobbyist tells him that if ISPs aren't allowed to discriminate, the "tubes" will be overloaded.

This is another reason why I'm happy to see someone not over the age of 60 running for presidency. Congress is full of OLD idiots with no "real world" experience.
I wouldn't even say his age is a factor. I do agree with you that someone who is in office for a long time does lose touch with the real world. If there were congressional term limits, it would force a turnover and allow for new blood to come in.

If you don't know shit about something you shouldn't be preaching like you do, much less trying to change it.

I know.

That's why all I can do is sit here and whine about it. But I can't blame the people of Alaska for sending this guy back. He (like every other well-entrenched incumbent) keeps bringing home the bacon.
