People can then freely re-elect or oust public officials. <BR/><BR/>Look what term limits has done to NYC.<BR/><BR/>As it stands only millionaires or billionaires can buy enough television and advertising time to effectively buy an election. Bloomberg- as good as he might be- spent a sinful $94.00+ dollars for every vote he got.<BR/><BR/>Now we have Dick Parsons, former head of Time Warner, and Mr. Castomedies, owner of Gristedes and other companies, preparing to run. They can buy the election. How is that democratic.<BR/><BR/>On the other side, Democratic city council members start running for higher office the second they are first elected... be this Avella, Quinn, Liu, Yassky, Goia, etc. <BR/><BR/>Some councilmembers are excellent and they want to serve their local communities - not to move on to higher office. If they are doing good jobs, all the better.<BR/><BR/>Look at Senator Trent Lott. He just quit the US Senate because new anti-lobbying rules take effect in January, so he can get in nder the deadline. <BR/><BR/>Term limits makes more lobbyists and turns power over to civil servant bureaucrats who pull the strings without accountability.<BR/><BR/>Those who favor term limits are short sighted and irrational. We do not have term limits in business. We did not have them anywhere until recently except the Presidency. And even that is even questionable but at least 8 years is enough for most presidents (and most voters). But let's not equate the presidency with the city council.<BR/><BR/>TERM LIMITS ONLY LIMIT DEMOCRACYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-12027116791387263302007-11-30T13:53:00.000-05:002007-11-30T13:53:00.000-05:00I am for Term Limits!I am for Term Limits!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
