“Frankly, I never planned on serving, voters permitting, more than 5 or 6 terms in the US Congress,” Dent said. “I’m now serving my seventh term.”
Yeah I believe you, NOT.
“I promise to continue my role, both inside and soon outside of government, of giving voice to the sensible center and working to solve problems for the American people through smart policy — the product of negotiation, cooperation and inevitably, compromise,” Dent later added.
Don't promise anything except to STFU after you leave public office. The center is anything but sensible. It is unable to stand for beliefs because they really have none.
