Well, I don't agree that the democrats provide more for the working class. They learned from conservative election victories that their favorite giveaway welfare programs to buy votes would no longer be tolerated by the electorate. It's been shown time and time again that the people more likely to vote have a higher income and more education. Welfare recipients are typically neither. You can't buy their vote, because as a group they don't vote. That's the reason term limits make so much sense. After a few yrs, someone with fresh ideas gets a chance to make a difference. That doesn't seem to be what the Framers thought. We had term limits under the Articles of Confederation and they were dropped when the Constitution was drafted. [Personnally, I shy away from making statements that imply that the Framers didn't know what they were doing.] The voters have every opportunity to vote someone else into office. If they decide the individual in question best represents that State or district, why should they be excluded from voting the individual into office? IMO, term limits is the ultimate denial of the responsibility of the voter. If the voters can't determine what's in their best interests then why give them a vote at all? jttmab
