Title: Biden's never had "a Boss"?
Post by: berettaprofessor on November 02, 2009, 09:15:22 AM
This morning on a CNN exclusive, Joe Biden stated "In 36 years in the Senate, I never had a boss." :mad:

Anybody out there from Delaware?  If I were from Delaware, I'd start a movement to have his butt impeached retroactively.

This is the exact problem with our elected representatives and the best argument for term limits I've ever heard!

Yep. Unfortunately, nobody from Delaware held him accountable for his actions while feeding at the public trough.

I'm whole-heartedly in favor of term limits; I also think it mightn't be a bad idea to require all government employees to pass a test to verify they're familiar with the fundamentals of American government.

It wouldn't have to be a hard test. The one I passed at the end of high school civics would suffice, I'm sure.

I'm resisting the urge to post a link to Lonely Island's Like a Boss every time I see this thread...

Even easier than high school civics. Just a one question test.

The United States is:

A) A Democracy
B) A Republic

I guarantee you 80% of my coworkers would get it wrong and we could then fire them and drastically reduce the size of government.

It's called an "election". It's just the testers have gone lax.
