Don't you have a few more pizzas to deliver tonight, Cannon?

She is smart and tough and unfortunately owes too many favors.

Her and Reid are Obama's biggest problems.

She gets a pass like Dodd and Frank? These yahoos can get away with pretty much anything. Time to clean (the) House. Senate too. This Bimbo can't even remember which lie to retell.

She is not fooling anyone.
She knew what was going on and did not
bring it up. She made it an issue when it
was politically expedient and it has backfired.

I dont care what her political party is she lied
and now she is backtracking and making it even
worse.

There already are term limits. One term at a time. It's up to the good people of California. Maybe they approve of her. I've been trying to vote my "representatives" out for years.

I don't disagree -- term limits shouldn't be necessary, but we've already invalidated the one central assumption of the political writings that founded our philosophy as a nation: "Given a reasonable populace, ..."

Our population is now polarized, and many of those who vote Democratic are voting for a check. I don't care if it's a social security check, welfare check, unemployment check -- whatever it is...if you are voting for a check you are bought and paid for. And THAT is why term limits appear to be necessary. The real answer is to reduce the dependency on these checks. The voter doesn't use reason anymore -- just dependency.

The Republicans vote for a check too, but it's their own paycheck, and they'd like to keep more of it -- not entirely unreasonable.

i think there should be term limits for congress. most states have them and of course the president does as well. it would certainly prevent much feathering of nests for one. another bonus would be no retirement paid-i believe after just two terms, you get a pension. that's outrageous.
