My congressman is an idiot. But I've voted for him in every general election. I've voted against him the one time someone challenged him in a primary, but the challenger was actually worse than my congressman was, and he lost. I voted for him just because a change would have been good.
Today my congressman was in the paper because he was introducing a circus animal rights bill while flanked by Bob Barker on one side and Jorja Fox from CSI on the other. Don't we have some more serious issues facing the nation right now?
I think term limits would be a good idea. At every level of government. Two terms should be enough for every position. (Although I can see a small town having trouble finding enough qualified people to serve on a town board.)
