BET IT AGAINST THE HOUSE

Why do THE RATS ON THE HILL get to neglect their jobs when they are applying for a better one, why are Senators or Governors allowed to go out campaigning and traveling all over the world and still get to keep their jobs, why is there no risk involved for THE RATS when they try to lie, promise and buy their way into higher office.
I say "BET YOUR JOB AGAINST THE HOUSE", that's right, if you run for another office when you are already in office, you should have to vacate the existing office, win or lose!
Look at Kerry and Lieberman, they ran for higher office and were defeated, they neglected their posts for over a year, but they weren't worried, win or lose, they still had something to "fall back on". Term limits would ultimately solve this problem, my idea would be this, speaking only in terms of national political office. The house of Representatives, the senate and the presidency.
If elected to the house, you would get one six year term, you would not be eligible to run for that position again, then if you ran for the senate and won, you would get another six year term and would not be eligible to run for that seat again, then if you chose to run for the presidency and won, you would get another six year term....That's it!
The worst thing that could happen to us is to have one of these hacks for 18 years, this would do away with the special interest bias and the government would have a better chance of policing itself. I challenge anyone to come up with a better plan, more importantly, I challenge THE RATS to put it into action.

FIGHT FOR THE FAIR TAX

The fair tax will set us free, it is such a simple concept that the RATS ON THE HILL would never pass it because it will take the money (POWER) out of their hands. Its so simple that you could explain it to a 10 year old child without embarrassing or confusing him, the RATS ON THE HILL don't want that either, they have dumbed the average American down almost enough to give the RATS free reign.
This is what is important to the RATS ON THE HILL, staying in office long enough to collect the Congressional pension, making the right contacts so that when they are either thrown out of office or step down to avoid prison they can get a lobbyist position for themselves and their relatives, grandstanding for the cameras (very important), getting buildings and roads named after them before they die (very-very important), stirring up class warfare and racial divides and spending every last nickel of taxpayer funds with little or nothing to show for it.
This is the four year work cycle for the RATS ON THE HILL, after getting elected or re-elected, the first 6 months are spent getting their staff assembled and getting new office furniture, the next 18 months are spent pointing fingers at the other party, securing pork projects for their district, blaming the President for EVERYTHING, covering their ass for the next scandal and taking lots of trips to far off places in private jets at tax payer expense that have absolutely nothing to do with improving the fortunes of the United States.
The last 2 years are spent threatening freshman congressman with abandonment or expulsion from their committee posts to throw a vote, bragging about their meager accomplishments, cramming in as many photo-ops as possible with movie stars and foreign dignitaries and best of all neglecting their jobs to take care of THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in their lives.......GETTING RE-ELECTED.

TERM LIMITS.....TERM LIMITS.....TERM LIMITS !!!!!!!!!!!
The problem with the current system is that these RATS who have been on the hill for decades are the corrupting force that causes gridlock, the freshman and junior lawmakers are intimidated by the RATS.
What has Ted Kennedy, Orrin Hatch, Barbara Boxer, Charles Byrd, Bill Nelson, Charley Rangel, John Lewis, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Maxine Waters, Dick Durbin, Harry Reid and the rest of the multi-decade RATS done for you lately........Nothing....Nothing.
If the RATS ON THE HILL are doing such a great job for the American people (so they say), they should have no problem letting the public have a vote on term limits.
There are a few good RATS in the nest, but are you going to stick "your" hand in there to pick them out ?
