McCain/FeinGold Got It Wrong!!

McCain---Feingold Got It Wrong--On Purpose!!!!

McCain-Feingold incorrectly assumed that the true basic reason for Congressional power abuse is money. It is not the money that is the basic problem, it is the lust for power by Congress' who believe only they are wise enough to make correct decisions about this country. Money is only a means to an end and it is that "end" that must be addressed, not just the money. The only real way to control the lust for power is for Congressional Term Limits to be enacted. Yeah, I know, the Supreme Court said that Congressional Term Limits are unconstitutional, but that is inconsistent with history. Congress, in 1947, passed a Constitutional Amendment limiting the Executive Branch to two terms. The 1947 Supreme Court never even had a discouraging word to say about limiting the President's term in office. Since the three branches of government are, by the Constitution, coequal, how is it that the President can be term limited but Congress cannot?? This country will not improve Congress' integrity until we remove the chance to make politics a career. Term Limits are being tried at the State's level and they work just fine! Those who are term limited out challenge the State's Federal delegation at election time or go out and get a real job that produces something real and increases the economy. That is healthy. Time in power corrupts and unlimited time in power corrupts absolutely.
