This country will stay the same way until We The People decide that we have to limit the term that House and Senate members can serve. Today, Big Brother, is the House and Senators who are "Life Long Politicians" and who know every PAC member by first name and their family members, etc. They don't care about ANYTHING but getting re-elected. I don't care what party they call themselves, they are the problem, not the answer. Have them serve the Country for up to 8 years (if they can get re-elected) and then go back and get a "real job". These people who serve 10, 20 or 30 years are the problem. They don't care about anything except re-election. They refuse to compromise on anything except what their party tells them and they don't care about the needs of the Country. Is that attitude being any help to the Nation? NO! We should start a new party called the "Red, White and Blue Party" who's ONLY platform is to limit the amount of time a person can serve in the House or Senate. Why is the President able to only serve 2 terms and the House and Senate can stay forever (if they life that long). We also have to cut the benefits that House and Senate members get. They voted these benefits to themselves, We The People didn't give it to them. They should get SSI instead of all of their "retirement" benefits. They should get health care that you and I get, not "HEALTH CARE FOR SENATE OR HOUSE"! And the extra benefits they get when they leave office should go too. What we ALL MUST DO is NOT vote for any House or Senate person UNLESS they promise to vote for a max 8 term lengths for both the House and Senate. If your party person will not do that, you have to be strong enough to vote against your party if the chalanger will vote for it. The only thing a canadate will pay attention to is NOT being re-elected. Thus, the Red, White and Blue Party. But I also think we have to get rid of the Supreme Court Justices who are able to serve until they die. I understand why they did that but that has to stop. The Highest Court just ruled that ANYONE; any company, PAC or whatever can contribute any amount of money they want toward any person, party or topic they want. That totally takes out anyone who is NOT a member of the two biggest parties. So that limits who can win any election. The High Court just sold out America in favor of Big Business and the PAC's. They must go. Let's go "Red, White and Blue". We The People will will win in the end! Does ANYONE out there know how to start a New Party where it doesn't matter what Party you belong to, you are welcome to help our cause. Please, we as a Country NEED THIS before it's too late. Let's get together and take our Nation back for "We The People"

When the taxpayers of this country start feeling the big obamacare pinch and the economy continues to decline while inflation begins to increase and the terrorists continue thier attacks, will the "new" (2012-2016) obama administration blame the previous administration (2008-2012), or will it still be GW Bush, the Tea Party, The House, The Arab Spring, The Tsunami, et. al.?

so the Obama campaign admits to pulling off the most massive manipulation of the people that has ever taken place. And they used to decry Karl Rove when he employed the same tactics. I agree to some parts of the post by money2145. I don't think term limits will ever be voted in when the people who make a living off of being elected have to decide to cut their own throats for that to happen. But we should find a way to take big money out of campaigns and that includes big business, labor unions and PACs. Give every candidate the same amout to spend and the playing field is leveled quickly. And it would be nice to only allow a candidate's political ads to speak about the candidate's views and not their opponent's. Set up independent fact checkers to debunk untruthful ads. We have to end the tactic of letting your opponent define you to the voters. Lofty dreams these are but I still have hope we can reform our campaign rules.

"Obama wins the way his campaign predicted"...Yep, cater to the unknowing, offer govt. largess to the takers, suck up to the unions, and demonize the successful and your opponent because you can't run on your record!
