we know that all bunch of politicains are A** holes ... but still we believe in democracy WHY ?

@katielass You could be right, who knows, but I think the less time these people spend in Washington, the better for all of us.

In fact, with all the time they take off, it's really a part time job. Let's base their pay and benefits on how much time they actually spend "working"

@eli1601 All considered, I'm willing to try term limits. But nothing is going to get us where we really want to be unless and until enough people understand that we are their bosses, we have the power and they need to do as we say. Or they don't have a job. We need to start recalling them at the first opportunity they break their word. I'm not talking about trying and failing. They can't control how others vote but if we send them to vote on X issue and they vote the wrong way we need to recall them and replace them with someone who is not insubordinate.

@katielass I agree on that Katie... and here I see an option, what if der is a re-election in b/w term if he is good enough for remaining tenure ...
say for eg he has 5 years but after 2 and half years ....civilians will have right to choose if he is good enough to pursue remaining period or not ?
