none of that has to do with the point that private sector citizens are supposed to donate their time, experience, strength and hope to our nation by running a political office for a term or 2, then get the fuck out and back to work in the private sector.
regardless of how many parties there are.

I don't have a problem with term limits in principle nor age limits for holding office.
Basically, when
most people are 76 their minds start to go.
A senate term limit of 3 terms and a House member limited to 6 terms seems OK. I don't think that shorter time spans would really be beneficial. This would also shake up the Congressional leadership structure a lot.
You will never hear that campaign platform. It would probably take a second american revolution to happen.
