This is a cryptic argument for term limits. I am not a big fan of them - why? Well first it is a way to get rid of someone else's guy that I don't like. But maybe they like him so why should he be limited. There is something to be said for the expertise of longer term representatives - they get to really know something important (e.g. finance, or foreign affairs, or agriculture, etc.). With term limits no one is an expert. So who runs things then - lobbyists and bureaucrats who after term limits are the long term "experts". They don't always have the peoples interest in mind. And they are not voted into office. Is this a good idea?

Your experts are self centered idiots that only have their own interest in mind. The diapers and politicians argument is spot on.
