agreed. voters need to enforce term limits regardless of party, constitutional amendment or not.

Are you in the VA 10th district?

I sure as hell hope Cuccinelli runs.

Term limits destroyed the Republican party and gave 2/3ds votes in both Cal houses.

"Too bad. This seat will go democrat."

The article indicates that Romney won the district in 2012. That should indicate the district is more conservative than much of Northern Virginia.

“Sure seems to be a lot of folks retiring.
Maybe it’s something in the air.”

Frank is a good man and conservative. I knew him years ago when he was my congressman, and he was a solid conservative, esp. since he was redistricted into a leftist shithole known as Fairfax County (once run by present Rep. Gerald Connolly, northern Virginia prime example of a fascst thug).

Thanks for years of common sense and patriotism, Frank. We will miss you.

Bad idea.. We need him on the Radio. But I do hope he is involved in the selection of who should run.

After Dems just stole the VA Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and in process of stealing AG, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a Republican victory.

I hope you are correct. Republicans had a chance to win state senate special election in Loudon Co. and keep control of senate, but now there are two republicans in the race because of intraparty fighting. Guess who will win that race?

My state Senator, Jill Vogel, would be a great candidate.

here is what you sound like so far to me.

their cars are all white. my car is black. therefore my car is not a car.

look, i refuse to make your argument for you. unless you know a lot more about ca than i do, it’s probably immediately falsifiable. but i’ll give you a hint: look at the process of redistricting and who has historically supported it in ca.

Dems desperately wanted to beat her. She was the sole bright spot this past November.
