Politics: A Workable Alternative to Term Limits

A Workable Alternative to Term Limits

Written by Terry Mitchell

The end of another election once again brings into focus repparttar

problem of Washington politicians raising money and running for re-election as soon as they get into office. Many citizens and various government-accountability advocacy groups have done little more than complain from time to time. However, some of them, along with many members of repparttar 125917

media, have been pushing for term limits as a solution. But is that really repparttar 125918

solution we need? Even with term limits, we would still be left with repparttar 125919

same old problems, only in smaller doses, i.e., politicians would still be playing repparttar 125920

same old campaigning and fund raising games for whatever amount of subsequent terms they are allowed. Also, we would still be stuck with repparttar 125921

situation in which sitting Senators and Representatives (even those with no remaining terms for repparttar 125922

office they hold) spend their time running for higher office. I say forget about term limits in Washington as I have a better solution. I call it “term interruptions.” Here's how it would work: No President/Vice President, Senator, or Representative could serve two consecutive terms in repparttar 125923

same office and would have to sit out at least two years before being eligible for a different federal office although he/she could be elected to an unlimited number of terms in any number of federal offices. For example, a U.S. Representative could not succeed himself/herself in that office and would have to wait until he/she has been out of office for at least two years before being eligible for President/Vice President, a Senate seat, or any seat in repparttar 125924

House of Representatives. In other words, a sitting President/Vice President, Senator, or Representative could not run for re-election and he/she could not run for any elective seat in repparttar 125925

legislative or executive branches of repparttar 125926

federal government. That way, they could all focus on serving their constituents rather than getting re-elected. They could use repparttar 125927

two off-years for campaigning and raising money. However, this proposal could be problematic for repparttar 125928

U.S. House of Representatives, since its members currently serve only two-year terms. Under my plan, repparttar 125929

House would see a complete turnover (all 435 members) every two years. Therefore, I would propose four-year terms for U.S. Representatives. Of course, we would still get a complete turnover in repparttar 125930

House, only after every four years instead of every two years, so there would still be a problem.

How The Republicans Stole The 2004 US Election

Written by T.D. Roberts

When I first learned that George W. Bush won repparttar

2004 Presidential election, I was shocked. "How could that be?" I thought. This man is a criminal. How could America have done such a horrific thing? Keep this monster as President? He is a man who has caused an estimated 100 000 deaths in Iraq.

After November 2nd, bits and pieces of repparttar 125916 truth started surfacing. As intellectuals started investigating and uncovering repparttar 125917 evidence, it became clear that George W. and his regime committed repparttar 125918 most heinous crime in American History, stealing repparttar 125919 2004 Presidential election. In one night, they killed democracy in repparttar 125920 United States of America.

Now, repparttar 125921 world must continue to deal with a right wing fundamentalist regime that is in control of repparttar 125922 most powerful and deadly military in repparttar 125923 world.

The following is a very brief summary highlighting repparttar 125924 evidence that has been accumulated proving that John kerry never had a chance of becoming President. The Republicans fixed repparttar 125925 election so that George W. Bush would win.

The brief facts I have listed have been taken from many important research sites run by people dedicated to uncovering repparttar 125926 truth. Following repparttar 125927 summary, I have listed sites where I obtained repparttar 125928 evidence. Please go to these sites, read what has been uncovered and visit repparttar 125929 important links to other research sites.

The world needs to know that George W. Bush never received repparttar 125930 majority of electoral votes in 2000 and 2004 to be President. George W. and his crew are dangerous idealogs and complete frauds.

* "Electronic Voting Machines:

A bill was introduced in repparttar 125931 House and Senate to outlaw these machines and require a paper printout, but repparttar 125932 bill was stalled by repparttar 125933 Republican Party, led by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, and it was not allowed to come to a vote.

Shortly after repparttar 125934 November 2nd election, countless stories of problems with repparttar 125935 machines began to surface.

Many people tried to vote for Kerry and said that when repparttar 125936 final confirmation screen came up, it said they voted for Bush.

Electronic Voting Machines were manufactured mainly by repparttar 125937 two companies ESS and Diebold, supporters of repparttar 125938 Republican Party. It is repparttar 125939 electronic machines that are easy to manipulate and easy to hack. Republican Walden O'Dell is repparttar 125940 owner of Diebold and Republican Chuck Hagel is repparttar 125941 owner of ESS. Both were openly committed to helping deliver electoral votes to repparttar 125942 President.

In repparttar 125943 states that had verifiable paper trails for their ballots, repparttar 125944 exit polls were virtually repparttar 125945 same as repparttar 125946 real results. However, in repparttar 125947 battleground states where electronic voting machines and/or electronic tabulators were used, repparttar 125948 exit polls were mysteriously very different from repparttar 125949 final reported totals.

A U of PA professor stated that it is "impossible" that repparttar 125950 exit poll results could be as far off as they are.

Unusual results in repparttar 125951 areas where computers were used: In Baker County, Florida, there are 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of them Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans. The vote was only 2,180 for Kerry and 7,738 for Bush. In a Democratic stronghold, 5 out of every 7 Democrats voted for Bush???
