That’s why we need term limits, politics should not be a career.

The Founders didn't foresee the legislative job becoming a career.

AMEN!!!!

Lugar is 80 years old. He, long ago, was brainwashed to believe compromise is always a move to the left.

GOOD RIDDANCE! Dick you were a big part of the problem.

“That’s why we need term limits, politics should not be a career.”

Right, and from the time of the Founding, politics would not be a career.

Citizens were to serve their term or maybe 2 terms and then go back to their previous jobs: farming, blacksmiths, etc.)

These guys who have served for years and years and years (Kennedy, Byrd et al) made it a career and our governance has eroded and suffered.

Some people say use the elections as “term limits” and vote the scoudrals out....the hard part is after they serve just one term, they essentially are running for subsequent terms. And, they then have the money to back them more than a challenger usually has.

Also, they have name recognition and unfortunately some people just vote on the candidate they know just because they have heard of them before.
