They do. It's called reelection. VOTE. Some of our government representatives want to remain in office to continue their life's work. There is something unpalatable about the idea of playing politics to accomplish passing legislation that should stand on its own. Setting term limits is the dumbest idea I have yet encountered as a way to control government. It destroys the continuity necessary to learn the system and to begin working on new legislation.
> I want the government to fear me, as a voter and as a citizen and that does not happen when you are financially dependent on the government to survive, off entitlements.
You can't vote for whom you would like to see in government because others vote for the people who best serve their needs and represent philosophies contrary to yours? Sour grapes.
The Second Amendment can be repealed. :-)
As you like to say, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. It is a blessing that each person has but one vote.
If you get all of us TRD people into the voting booth, guess what else they would vote for? Your NRA friends will be mightily pissed at you.
