IMO term limits are a hard call: the voter imposes term limits, but many voters aren't voting for leadership that is best for the country they are voting for a welfare pay raise and the politicians that should be "term limited" have perfected the art of pandering to this voter base.
...on the other hand this barrel of monkeys we call congress with the combined centuries of "experience" that they posses have proven that collectively, the US elected body of leadership can fuck up a shot-put.

Now we need 20million bucks tacked onto the defense bill for an institute?
Is this building going to have class rooms used for military training? Are they going to do military defense research ? Nope, no need for term limits here. Go get that cash Sen Kerry! Hell, ask for 40 million and build a memorial park right next to the institute; we'll pay for it

Senator Kennedy held his job for 47 years and likely would have continued to serve if he hadn't succumbed to his own mortality... so he must have done a great job representing Massachusetts or the voters would have run him off...
...right?

If the voters like what they want, then why shouldn't they get to vote for him - or did 47 years in the seat allow him to perfect the art of "telling the voters what they want to hear"

meh...
