  4. Terms limits aren't a bad idea, but impossible to impose. I'd rather see a set of qualifications for those who want to run for re-election. Anyone can run for a first term. Second term:
    1. Any wars going on your adult children are to enlist in a infantry postion. Congratualtions, your lapel pin now means something.
    2. You must exit all positions you hold in the stock market or any other investment vehicle. Congraualtions, your elaborate goverment pension plan will take care of you down the road.
    3. Should you be found guilty of any crime regarding campaign money/taxes there is a mandatory 20 year mimimum sentence with no opportunity for parole. Congratulations, we always knew you were an honest guy.
    4. You can never again sit on any B.O.D., or hold any executive position in a publicly traded company. Congratulations, see benefit listed in item#2.
    5. You can not ever hold a position as a lobbyist. Congratulations, see benefit listed in item#2.
    6. Conditions listed above apply even if you lose your bid for re-election.
    There's more, but you get the point.
    Bottom line Mother Fucker. You want a career in politics, there are conditions. Otherwise, thank you for your one term of service to your country. No doubt you made many helpful connections while you served.

    I can find the beaches in Florida, which is more than we can say about you rectum.



    Actually it's not but then most of your posts aren't true either.

    Glad you're an expert on beaches, pucrum, but a conch shell isn't going to give you any information on the human genome project. :D

    Tom Coburn calls for a national Constitutional Convention

    http://washingtonexaminer.com/tom-c...nal-constitutional-convention/article/2534588

    "Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., explained to a town hall of his constituents that he wanted to call a national Constitutional Convention after reading Mark Levin’s new book, The Liberty Amendments.

    “I used to have a great fear of constitutional conventions,” Coburn said according to the Tulsa World. “I have a great fear now of not having one.”

    As the Tulsa World notes, a national convention is called by two-thirds of the state legislatures and is one of two ways the U.S. Constitution can be amended."
