Finally, proponents of term limits often identify themselves as libertarians. The same people who argue for free markets and individual choice want to limit the political marketplace and take choice away from the voters. Term limits tell us, the voters, that we cannot make wise decisions about our politicians. These referenda would give voters a chance to think again about real choice in legislative elections. Instead of getting voters more involved, instead of developing thoughtful election policy to encourage people from all walks of life to run for office, instead of giving voters real choices, we have term limits.
Term limits make voters lazy.
Unfortunately, so do the good ones.
