Time for a new Idea. Time to limit the cumulative time politicians spend in Washington, D.C.

The latest scandals with Democrat congressmen Rangel and Massa have once again highlighted the corruption in Washington. Americans are frustrated with Washington, D.C. They should be. The corruption and arrogance is out of control. Nancy Pelosi promised to “Drain the Swamp.” The thing is that neither party can drain the swamp and still leave all the same old career politicians in place.

It’s a mistake for any Republican to believe the frustration lies only with the Progressive-Socialists who have taken over the Democrat party. Congress has record low approval ratings and a few of those people are Republicans. Americans are just fed up with all the “legalized” (not really) bribery that goes on to get votes, the willingness of elected representatives to ignore the will of the people, the out of control spending, huge tax burdens placed on Americans, the ever-increasing size of government, etc., etc.

Here’s a new idea (below) on how to eliminate the career corruption that lifetime politicians seem addicted to.

16 Years and You Go Home.

I’m not talking about a limit of 16 years in the U.S. House or 16 years in the Senate (a bit hard to divide a 6 year term into 16 years). What I propose is a 16-year limit on the time an elected politician can spend serving the people in Washington D.C. They can spend a few years in the House, a term in the Senate and maybe even a term in the White House. No matter, the limit is 16 years for the cumulative lifetime years a politician can serve in the House, the Senate or the White House.

To clarify, a few examples:

Jean gets elected to the U.S. House and serves four two-year terms. She only has 8 years left in D.C. no matter what. She can serve a maximum of four more two-year-terms in congress.

Jean might decide after those 8 years to run for the U.S. Senate. Fine. She can only serve one 6-year term if she wins. She also would no longer be eligible to run for President or Vice President of the United States because she would not be able to complete her term with the two years she would have left.

Ron runs for the U.S. Senate and wins. He serves two six-year terms. 12 years gone. He can run for President, but may only serve one term. If he wins the White House, he’d hit his 16 years at the end of the first term and then go home.

Getting the idea? If Sarah runs for President having served as a Governor, her time as governor would not count (obviously) as time spent in Washington. The idea is to limit the time in Washington. End the corruption that comes with entrenched lifetime politicians. Give the government back to the people. Let people serve for a while, and then go home. That’s the way it was intended.

So if Sarah runs and wins, she can serve two four-year terms in the White House. Yes, she would still have 8 years left that she could serve in the House or Senate if she so desired. 16 years and you’re done, no matter what.

If we could ever get term limits for the U.S House or the Senate, you would still have people just switching chambers to stay in power. This idea eliminates the career politician. Period.

Oh that Mrs. Nancy Pelosi. She promised to get in their and clean up what she always loved to call the “Republican culture of corruption.” Ha! She finally gets rid of Chuck Rangel as chair of the House Ways & Means committee and she wanted to pick another loser to take his place!

While Democrat Sander Levin now has been selected, it was only after a Progressive Revolt against Pelosi’s pick of Pete Stark. Earlier reports at Bloomberg and other sites said Stark would sleep on it before deciding. He didn’t get the chance.

John Fund at the Wall Street Journal knows why…

“Republicans will be disappointed. They were looking forward to making a fundraising poster boy of Mr. Stark, a dyspeptic 78-year-old from California’s Bay Area. Said one K Street observer yesterday when the appointment seemed a done deal: “He will be a dream for Republicans fundraising to take over control of Congress. He is so volatile and unpredictable, the business community will contribute if there’s any chance to stop him from keeping the gavel.”

Over the years, Mr. Stark has called various GOP colleagues “fruitcake” and “whore for the insurance industry,” as well as accusing former Rep. J.C. Watts of fathering all his children “out of wedlock.” In 2007, he said President George W. Bush was amused by seeing the heads of U.S. soldiers getting blown off. He later apologized for those remarks on the House floor. He also narrowly escaped an ethics inquiry over claiming a homestead tax deduction for his Maryland residence even though he is registered to vote in California. A highly critical investigator’s report noted that Mr. Stark was “extremely belligerent and frequently insulted [Office of Congressional Ethics] staff members interviewing him.”

Such high examples of fine quality people ol’ Mrs. Nancy has found to clean up all that corruption.

Not.

Washington’s age-old tradition of saying one thing and doing another is in high season right now. As President Obama calls for a bipartisan summit on health care, he’s insisting that the starting point for that summit be the same proposals the American people have rejected time and time again.

Yesterday it was revealed by Pelosi’s health care adviser that they have developed a procedural “trick” to enact their government-run health care package.

The “trick” would require the House to pass the Senate’s bill and rely on the Senate to pass requested changes to the bill through a rarely-used parliamentary maneuver known as reconciliation. This would not only circumvent the normal rules of the Senate but, most importantly, would enact into law exactly what the American public has stated it doesn’t want – government-run health care!

Call Congress today to make sure this “trick” doesn’t happen. They need to hear from you today to let them know we are still paying attention. While Congressional offices are closed for the snowstorm they will get your voicemail when they return.

The American people have spoken up against a government takeover of health care every chance they’ve had – most notably, polls, elections and townhalls. While this has significantly slowed government takeover plans, it hasn’t permanently stopped them. The President clearly thinks he’s smarter than the people who elected him saying, “All I can do is just to keep on making the argument about what’s right for the country and assume that over time people…are going to gravitate toward the truth.”

This is not representative democracy. This is arrogant Washington telling you what to think. If you disagree, well you must be misinformed, according to Barack Obama.

Call Congress today and tell them it’s time to start over. We need health care reform that lowers cost, maintains the integrity of the doctor-patient relationship and prevents the government from controlling what health care insurance you can buy.

We must remain vigilant in the face of this audacious push for government-run health care!

Sincerely, Patients First Team

Conservative American congressman Paul Ryan says there are some things you should know about the newly unveiled health reform plan from Nancy Pelosi…

The Pelosi-Care plan puts right back into the bill all of the horrible things that conservative tea partiers fought to have removed! The bill calls for it to be against the law to buy any new health insurance policies from anyone other than Uncle Sam in 2013!

Read the rest of this post then add your comments and feedback! Thank you!

More socialist nonsense from Nancy Pelosi and the democrats in congress today. Their new health bill creates government-run health care and takes nearly 2,000 pages to do it! You can see it by clicking here.
