    In addition to term limits, they should have to abide by the same laws the rest of us do. Did you know congress is exempt from the Americans with Disabilities Act, and OSHA regs, among others. And they have one of the best, govt paid health coverages in the world. They are an elite class. I don't think that's what the framers had in mind when they founded this country.

  2. Not only that, they can trade on legislation.

    How do they do that? Easy, they have an account with a broker and call them up (preferably before a vote on a piece of legislation), place their trades THEN others at the brokers office can place their trades THEN the broker makes some cash THEN donates some campaign funds to the Senator. (No sweat off their back).

  4. Any politician convicted of bribery should face the death penalty.

    Politicians knowingly and voluntarily take a sworn oath under our constitution to abide by the public trust, and to honorably and legally represent the best interests of their constituents.

    The ONLY way to root out political graft and corruption that is one of the most damaging cancers to our republic is to send the most severe message possible to politicians:

    Take a bribe in any form and you'll be executed.

    MANASSAS, Va., July 29, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The following is a statement by Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, regarding the White House projection of a $482 billion deficit for Fiscal Year 2009:
    "The White House has issued figures indicating that President Bush and his enablers in Congress will leave his successor with a budget deficit of $482 Billion for Fiscal Year 2009, which is a record. How's that for a legacy?
    "As shocking as this deficit figure is, that's still not the true scope of our budget woes because it excludes $80 billion in war costs and $227 billion borrowed from the Social Security Trust Fund.
    "The real budget deficit is therefore $789 billion.
    "Under accounting trickery that would probably land the top officers of a publicly traded company in jail, the money borrowed from the Social Security Trust Fund -- and spent on anything and everything except Social Security payments -- is not counted towards the budget deficit, although it is part of our $9.49 Trillion National Debt.
    "It's way past time for Washington politicians to have their own Sarbanes-Oxley.
    "But this is how corrupt Washington has become. Besides the dangerous practice of massive deficit spending, which will saddle our children and grandchildren with trillions of dollars of debt, the Bush White House and Congress are conspiring to conceal the true nature and scope of the problem.
    "This year's budget deficit will actually be $307 billion worse than the politicians are saying. This fraud on the American people is a conspiracy of silence by both major political parties.
    "In stunning hypocrisy, the White House blamed the record budget deficit on the slowing economy and the $150 billion stimulus package passed earlier this year.
    "No, Mr. President, the buck stops with you. Stand up and accept the responsibility -- and your legacy -- for massively expanding government."
    NOTE TO EDITORS: Richard A. Viguerie pioneered political direct mail and has been called "one of the creators of the modern conservative movement" (The Nation magazine) and one of the "conservatives of the century" (The Washington Times). His latest book is Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big-Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause (Bonus Books), which, Jerome Corsi wrote in WorldNetDaily, is "destined to become a classic of conservative thinking" and "may be the most important conservative book written in the last quarter century."
