The arguments in favor of term limits essentially boil down to the belief that the electorate is too stupid and keep voting for the same guy...thus they use be saved from themselves.

I know they are pretty convincing arguments.  I am not really sure how to counter them.

Well people do age over 8 years.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well it's the same arguments that dictators use.  Counter them the same way.

Yeah. I don't understand term limits. If the people want to elect the guy 3 times, why shouldn't they?

Still, no job is worth that. It should remain a temp gig so to speak.

Shocking that the LanguishLeft would be against presidential term limits around this time.

I think we should have term limits until such time that we decide to elect God King Bloomberg for all time.

FDR had four terms, then he died, and HST had two.  It was the best America has ever been.  Sort of, anyway.  Certainly the most most asymmetrically nuclearly-powered.

It would be wonderful if they were to get rid of term limits now. Just for the glorious frothy evil dictator obama rage.
Its not going to happen....but it would be nice.
