It is not as much the party as it is the power that these self serving people seek. The tools of the trade are opposing view points and rhetoric but the basic construct has nothing to do with lasting policy.
Both parties stick a wet finger to the wind and then gesticulate to the masses repeating the ritual ad naseum. This all points out the one huge item left out of our founding documents.
I won’t disagree regarding term limits but I will point out that the founders (at least for the most part) were honorable men who purposely chose to follow the example of Pres. Washington – serve a term or two and let someone else come in to continue bringing in fresh ideas. The current mess our Republic is in is due to self serving careerists seeking their own fame and fortune vice what is good for that Republic. IOW, they never even considered the concept of career ‘professional’ politicians. If they had, I think they would have figured out some way to prevent it from happening.
