Every political office from the local dog catcher to the president needs to have a term limit of no more than 2 terms.

Maybe this will get rid of the lifelong politicians who care nothing about the people that they represent and only want to know what they can do to line their pockets and reletives pockets with cash.

The House voted today to reduce the amount of votes to override the Cook County Board President's veto to 11 from 14. Next on to the Senate. Quinn said he would sign it. Out with the toddler in 2010!

Toddler's sales tax raise is definitely going to be history. I can't wait to see him squirm when the repeal goes through this time.

At most they will take 1% off the sales tax. I believe the other part of the sales tax increase was from the State to fund the CTA. Am I right about this?

On the bright side, if he keeps this up there may be some minute chance that he won't be reelected. Maybe. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

The man blew his chances of getting reelected a long time ago.
