HELL YES

Hell yes term limits! Oh and LOOK!!!! Guess who else supports term limits???

Ron Paul was the FIRST congressman to propose term limit legislation for the House of Representatives. In 1984, citing his term limits proposal, he did not seek reelection to the House.

Serving in Congress from 1976 to 1984, Paul was the first person in modern history to introduce a term limits measure.

Paul has refused to participate in the congressional pension plan, and has long favored abolishing it. He said that when politicians realize they do not have taxpayer-funded benefits for life, their time in public office will be quickly reduced.

Just another reason I LOVE THIS MAN!!





But the Globalist GOPer's on here will say...:lala:

Are we that hateful here?Not about hate. It's about hijacking. Your post was campaigning for your candidate rather than a discussion of term limits. Hence, it was moved. If we hated you, you wouldn't be here.

I just thought it was funny that so many here want something that only one individual has been really working for but yet they talk about that man as if he is a loon.:confused:

Tons of other people have worked for it, and still are. And you weren't talking about the issue. You were talking about your candidate.

Not on this issue. Tons of other people have worked for it, and still are. And you weren't talking about the issue. You were talking about your candidate.

No, you are wrong. He was the first person to bring the bill up in modern US history and nobody that supported the bill with a co-sponsor is still serving in Congress. Very sad but true.

[Rhino]

I'm not talking about who was first, and that's not the subject of this thread. If you want to debate that, go back to the thread with your original post on that subject. It was moved there because that is not the topic of this thread, and I have no intention of discussing it here. Nor should you. That was the point of moving your post.

The founding fathers intended for this government to always be the absolute will of the people... Term Limits says that if the people of Alabama or Texas or Florida don't like Ted Kennedy, they can put a legal gun to the heads of the people of Massachusetts and say, we don't like your man, choose someone else...

It is NOT the same as sending that man to the office of VP or President... The VP and President are NATIONAL offices - They are elected to represent the WHOLE nation...

But if the people of one single state or even one single congressional district want to send the same corrupt conman - or the same righteous statesman - back year after year to represent them, IT IS THEIR RIGHT TO DO SO...

I was initially torn over this issue and have wrestled with it for a long time... But Rush Limbaugh opened my eyes to the possibility that this is in effect a violation of the right of free speech... And I made my own investigation into the deliberations of the founding fathers...

I have concluded that even though I may disagree with the decisions of other people, the people of any single local district, be it a state or a congressional district, must always have their right to choose their representative...

This is a very dangerous line we walk here... The concept of Term Limits is the seed of tyranny... The founding fathers rejected term limits... Instead they instituted re-election terms on both the Senate and the House... The issue was debated by them in depth and this is the mechanism they settled on... It was not a failing on their part and it is not a concept that changes with our advanced technology...

If we ever limit the right of the people to self-representation, we have just started a running crack in the foundation of this nation, and it WILL eventually succumb to OUR LIMITED VISION...

If term limits is ever instituted, we authorize all revisionists to supercede the intent and will of the founding fathers on ALL our rights on the grounds that times have changed and the vision of the founding fathers is now redundant...

We have what is probably the most perfect governmental system ever devised by man - Its working!!! DON'T FIX IT!

And yet he's still there. You know the one person he can enforce that with and make it happen? }

HIMSELF. Seems you are just telling us he doesn't practice what he preaches.

Yet another reason not to vote for him. Thanks. :thumb:

But if the people of one single state or even one singe conressional district want to send the same corrupt conman - or the same righteous statesman - back tear after year to represent them, IT IS THEIR RIGHT TO DO SO...That's a good point. Although I am undecided on federal term limits, I fully support the right of the states to do so if they wish.

I see that you have swallowed another Ron Paul lie hook, line, and sinker.

The truth is that Ron Paul was gerrymandered out of Congress by the Democrat legislature in the redistricting following the 1980 Census. He did NOT leave voluntarily! I know that to be the truth because until he was gerrymandered out of office, he was our congressman. I was livid that the Democrats gerrymandered him out of office because I fully supported Ron Paul then since he was then a Reagan conservative.

Unfortunately, he has since deserted the ranks of Reagan conservatism.

I just thought it was funny .....

No. It was not funny.

Fox sorry, I guess mentioning the one Congressman who has in the past repeatedly sponsored a bill that would give term limits is "off the subject".

[THEBIRD]

I mention the one congressman who has repeatedly in the past introduced a bill for Term Limits in a Term Limits thread and somehow I'm a troll.

People around here wouldn't know a baseball bat if it hit them in the face.

[DoctorDoom]

Making every thread about "the one Congressman" who has as much chance of being the POTUS as Frosty the Snowman has of crossing the Sahara is rapidly becoming annoying.

Or a lying politician....

And THEBIRD was fooled by that lying politician.

The fact that we have a "Fantasy Footpaul" forum is a testament that he isn't the only one!!! :rolleyes:

He's free to support whomever he wants. In fact, he's encouraged to. We just don't want other threads hijacked with campaigning posts.
