FFQF: Term Limits
Haven't done this in a long while. Then again, neither has Mulligan. You there, Mr. Mulligan?
Well, here's a good quote for you. I know you love the idea of term limits as well as I do.
"Nothing so strongly impels a man to regard the interest of his constituents, as the certainty of returning to the general mass of the people, from whence he was taken, where he must participate in their burdens."
--George Mason, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 17, 1788
Founding Father's Quote Friday is hosted at Meet the Founders blog
TERM LIMITS: It's just a good idea.

Absolutely! But, do you think those nimrods in DC will ever vote themselves out of those great benefits? I hate career politicians!
That's a great quote. Too bad it doesn't still apply. Today's version would have to be more like this:
Nothing so strongly impels a man to regard the interest of his constituents, as the certainty of returning to the general mass of the people, taking laws designed to benefit his particular business, and a golden parachute.
