Sen. Lieberman retires and thank heaven for that. term limits are the only answer to the likes of him and like minded up on the Hill hijacking this nation.
@ saywhat
We can call for term limits until we're blue in the face. It ain't going to happen. I am a firm supporter for these term limits, just like on the president. These career politicians, i feel, come in to office thinking they are going to be able to make a difference. But after a few terms pass for them, they get too comfortable with the special interests groups and what's in it for them.
A two term limit per individual is the best way to go for this country. When the politician becomes more interested in pleasing their party more than their consti tuents, it's time for them to go.
A small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial–a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. Ive known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, youve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think youre a rising big shot when you havent the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes I do. Ive known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he,too, has been a real disappointment to me. Hes lazy, bigoted, he has a drinking problem. The man cant build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him." At this point the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, youll be in jail for contempt within 5 minutes!"
