“So you want to oust a reliable conservative just because he has been around for 20 years? To add to that you’d like to replace his with a young RINO? No wonder the GOP is such a mess. Adam Kinzinger is the Scott Brown of Illinois.”

Yes. For the record, I am not a Republican, they lost me after Reagan. I am a Conservative, and I believe in term limits.

Term limits would prevent a few “reliable conservatives” from “serving” us longer than they may like, but it would also severely cut down on the amount of corruption in Congress. I can live with that tradeoff.

I find it quaint that people who would normally be all in favor of term limits, change their tune a bit when it comes to their own Congressman.

As for the “GOP being in a mess”, I couldn’t agree more. They are every bit as corrupt as the democrat party. But....can you imagine the massive support the GOP could attract nationally if they would come out with a term limits platform? It will never happen, but it’s nice to think about.

You like Reagan, but you’d rather have the less conservative incumbent beat the conservative incumbent because the more conservative guy has been in Congress longer?
