Here is a good example of why we need term limits. Senator Ted Stevens from Alaska has been in the senate for 38 years. He is most famous for his $223 million for the "bridge to nowhere" to serve 50 people. He threatened to resign from the senate if they reallocated any of his pork to the victims of Katrina.
If you have any doubts on his ability to serve the people please check out his latest comments on net neutrality, it's worth listening to. He is head of the senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.

This speech will help explain why we never seem to get answers to our nations complex problems.
