If you kick them all out on schedule, they’ll have no incentive or reward to stay conservative.
From all I can tell, Enzi’s one of the most conservative Senators we have. One of the few to still be staunchly illegal immigration and anti-Rubio’s amnesty, a libertarian-leaning Constitutionalist when it comes to stopping government’s intrusion on our rights and privacy such as with the NSA, a low-tax, small goverment type, etc..
Yeah, the Internet tax was a mistake and he was once part of the ‘Gang of Six’ on healthcare, though he always fought Obamacare. I’m not away of too many other blemishes on his record.
“If you kick them all out on schedule, they’ll have no incentive or reward to stay conservative.”
That’s your argument? You have it exactly backwards. They vote conservative around election time then when safely reelected, they go left (see John McCain, Orrin Hatch). The exception to that rule is Richard Lugar, who didn’t really feel the need to vote conservative to try to get reelected. He was from Indiana after all. And he was removed from power. Lindsey Graham is trying to play the same game and is betting that the people of SC will reelect him.
Enzi’s at 75% now. In six years he’ll be in the 60’s if not the 50’s. And agewise, Enzi will be in his 70’s with all the fight gone out of him “sure, Jim, I’ll give you a vote, sounds good to me.” 18 years is long enough. Were I in Wyoming, I would vote for somebody else.
