I bet they'll all be reelected.
Term Limits... good and bad...
Increase the tax on the rich and lets get on the road.. who cares anymore.. do something even if they get dumped.
It is outrageous that these Democrats want to play politics with the budget. Get to work and pass a budget.
As a strong Democrat, I will gladly vote to recall Gov. Davis if we can all vote to recall the entire state legislature for being derelict in their duties. Unfortunately with term limits and the redistricting to extremely safe seats, practically no one will be around when the sh*t hits the fan. It happened with energy deregulation and it will happen with this budget (which will be a budget of mostly delaying tough decisions and carrying over structural deficits).
With safe seats on both sides, legislators see no need to compromise and work out a good deal. With term limits, we get inexperienced people who don't know what the heck they are doing and who aren't there long enough to care out the long term consequences of their actions.
Regarding term limits, I don't understand why people cannot trust themselves to vote for the most qualified person. Why would you vote to limit your choices?
