We're probably approaching the last chance we will ever have to get this great and wonderful nation headed back in the right direction. The 2012 election will be the most important event for America since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. If we voters don't get it right this time we'd better begin apologizing to our kids & grandkids. We will leave them in a hole they won't be able to climb out of.
I submit we need to only elect representatives that will support a tenure of office act for all congressional and presidential positions. The present system is so corrupt and political that the best for the nation takes second to re-election, party politics, pork, ad nauseum (sp?). Newly elected congressmen work for the country only long enough to learn the system which rarely takes two terms. Senators have had it after one. The office of president should never exceed two terms. To he-- with this seniority crap, all that does is perpetuate the mess.
People with much better minds than mine made this mess but the ones in power right now sure as hell aren't doing anything to get us out of it. It is time to start the painful job we've got ahead of us. It's gonna require sacrifice on EVERYONE'S part and we better get to it.
