A Boston Tea Party...(Arrogance and Corruption Reason for Term Limits)

arrogance: a feeling or an impression of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner.

Is it just me or do you get the same feeling? I find it terribly arrogant that someone can possibly think that they should remain a senator or representative for more than a few terms. Why do they think they can do the job so much better than you or I could? Don't they have anything else that they want to accomplish in life? Would you not think that after a few terms, one would feel it is his/her responsibility to give another citizen their chance at representative government?

corruption: a departure from the original or what is pure or correct.

Is there any chance that being in Washington as a representative or senator for 15 - 30 years one can escape at a minimum the fringes of corruption. One of the reasons I believe people stay there so long is because they become addicted to the power and prestige these positions give them. Most people in private business will change jobs many times over their lifetime as they face new challenges and advancements. Why the difference between public and private careers?

These are some of the questions our local media and political challengers need to bring to the attention of Dorgan and Pomeroy. There are hundreds of citizens of North Dakota that can do their job. Only their arrogance and sense of entitlement prevents them from retiring and finding another career. The Presidency has a limit of two terms which causes us to decide on a new vision, a new dynamic, a new image of the future atleast every 8 years. Why not expect the same new ideas every couple terms from our representatives and senators? Why not elect a new person on the merits of fresh ideas rather than what kind of pork he as the incumbent can bring home.
