We have term limits for the President of the United States... for good reason, and those term limits have proven to be beneficial and effective. It took an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to put that into effect - that is how important it was (they wanted to make sure there was not a repeat of F.D.R.'s 4 terms).
Corruption becomes easier for people that look at a political office as a long-term CAREER for themselves and their cronies. Their purpose is to enrich themselves through graft, kickbacks, insider trading, etc. They go into politics in order to become rich, and that takes time.
In politics, incumbents have huge advantages in terms of name recognition and funding for elections, plus most people in the US have proven over and over again that they are complete morons, if they even bother to vote at all. That is why reelection rates are typically 90% or higher for incumbents.

So "concern-fags" argue that term limits are OK for the President of the United States, but if we applied the same rules to the House or the Senate it would cause too much "experience" to be lost? Really?
