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.

Perhaps, but term limits is an admission that “we the people” are too stupid to see the wisdom in turnover in elective office. But I will grant you that a good term limits law might serve to blunt the monetary advantage that inures to the incumbent. Unfortunately though, my bet is that it takes less than one term in the case of a Senator to corral the money.
