Our political system needs to be re-worked because its obvious we are electing and re-electing the wrong people too often.

We can agree that experience like most things is a double edge sword but in the case of Congress it has created a laziness and complacency that we can no longer abide.

If the American voters could get a national referendum, which is highly unlikely, it should establish only a two 4 year terms for both Chambers of Congress. Secondly, there are far too many lawyers in Congress and if you know anything about lawyers its that they love to add laws to the books.
America is strangling with regulations that have created such a bureaucratic bloat and all that goes with it.

In the first instance I say 8 years because when forming this Union our founders were cognizant of the possibility of American becoming a monarchy. So as a result a President serves only 8 years max. Yet we allow yahoos like Harry Reid to dominate becoming faux monarchs . It would also help, but I am sure not eliminate the influence peddling

In the second instance we need a cross section of professional from every sector to have a proper balance of thinking creating and implementing
For instance Dr. Tom Coburn contributions were positive, sensible with little unintentional consequences

Carly Fiorina is spot on with her complaint of career politicians. As a sidebar aren't any of you upset that they pass laws that well won't apply to them

Being a member of Congress should be a stepping stone in their careers but not their careers.

100% agree with you. Something has got to change in this country. Nothing is working as it currently stands and I don't think much will change, be it Democrat or Republican that is elected, because of all of the influence pedaling. Speaking of cross section of professionals, this was my biggest beef with healthcare being discussed on the federal level - both the ACA and the Medicare Part D implementation of the former administration. How many healthcare professionals were included in those discussions? I would venture to say few, if any. I think that someone like Carly Fiorina would have enough sense to know that you don't discuss big issues like that without expert insight and involvement. Unfortunately for all of us, Washington as it stands today doesn't appear to work that way.

Not just appear....they do in fact not work that way.

And it becomes more and more evident, they have lost sight of their function....represent the needs of those who elected them. Tpriorities are the special interest groups and ANY organization that will get them re-elected.

Washington politics...the people elected and re-elected by we the people are the perfect case study for ineffective operation. No responsibility...no accountability...lie....cheat...steal....lecherero us...self centered leeches.
Where else can one have a job like this? How and why do we the people continue to accept and re-elect incompetence?

You have just labeled yourself as a non-serious person and a troll.

What part of the "non-serious troll" post is incorrect?

She is now poling at between 1 and 2%.


Really - if you have nothing to add other than calling a poster a "non-serious person and a troll" take a look in the mirror to see a real troll.

You used the term "faux news". It is a worn out and pathetic. That makes you a non-serious person and a troll.

What - no comment about Carly's polling numbers?

Trolls are really losing it.

Since post #4, most have acknowledged and discussed, YET......

If only you had anything of substance to offer instead of trolling. Are there not other web sites you can try and destroy !

I am beginning to believe that a sound political pair would be Rubio/Fiorina

Its clear that Fiorina is presidential material but can she garner enough of the vote? She is formidable opponent to Clinton.

Rubio is such a threat to the Left that they actually jokingly tried to discredit him with traffic violations and even then they threw in his wife's ticket to up the numbers. I believe there are many Americans who would have been content to have only received just four traffic violation in that period of time.

And least not let us forget the demographics that seem so important to Liberals.

By jove we may well have a winning team.

YES - that is exactly what I came on to this forum to post. If I had to vote today I would definitely support a Rubio/Fiorina ticket. Rubio is young and energetic and from all I have seen has certainly done his homework. Not only does he say what needs to be done, but how he would do it. Fiorina is a former executive that understands the importance of being proactive rather then reactive and 8 years as VP would certainly groom her to be President.

That sounds like a good plan in order to win the popular vote in a presidential election for the first time since 1988. How many years is that? Oh yeah, it will be 28 years in 2016.

How do you figure that? You might want to do a little research before posting incorrect information in the future.

Posted by Guest (Post 1073709)

She does not do research. Simply posts what her websites tell her is true.
