“Not sure why you are so bitter towards him unless you’ve fallen for the agitation of the left, trying to lump all republicans in the same category as Cochran and McConnell, which Roberts is most definitely NOT if you look at his voting record and conservative positions.”

I am not bitter! I am just very tired of the same old turds being re-elected decade after decade. That is not what the framers intended service in the Congress to be. Guys like Roberts ( and that other Septuagenarian, Urine Hatch (RINO, UT) have been in the Senate far too long, and I guess it’s the voters fault that they continually take the easy route and return these people to office ad nauseum.
I don’t live in KS so my feelings in this particular case don’t matter, but if I had been there, I’d have gone for Wolf if for no other reason to change the dynamic in the Senate. Cochran, McConnell, Hatch, et.al., have all outlived their usefulness as legislators. Now it’s all about them, or they would retire and move new, young people into their seats to allow for a natural generational transition. But they are all selfish, and prefer to go from their Senate seats to the local cemetery. Just a shame we let them do it!

There are a lot of us that tired of the dynamic we have right now but until we get term limits we have to deal with the hand dealt to us.

Like I said earlier, I understand people’s frustration but we can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater here and allow the left to acquire even more power by tossing out a good conservative vote. Roberts did not sell his soul to the democrats like McConnell and Cochran did. Yes, they’ve all been around too long but that’s where the comparisons end. Roberts has a history of standing for good conservative principles. Only the left agitators would love to see them all tied together in order to knock out a good conservative vote.

We can be frustrated all we want but it is what it is with how the dynamic has played out until we get term limits. FWIW, I’m all for term limits if we can ever get “we the people” to agree to make it so. Term limits is long overdue.
