Fred experienced the lucky coincidence of being elected in 1994. Does that qualify him to be the keeper of the flame? Why did Fred decide to walk away in 2000? Hard to portray oneself as a defender of the Revolution when one hangs ‘em up after only one undistinguished term in the Senate.
Left for two basic reasons, one because he did not want to make the Senate a career, something he had stated over several years, but moreover the death of his daughter seemed to prompt his final decision.
More lies! FDT had 1.33 undistinguished terms in the Senate.
It was 2002, and you can easily get your answer by clicking on one of the thousands of Fred-related threads.

He was elected to two terms, both landslides. He declined to run again because he felt that 8 years was enough & didn't want to become a career politician. He has had some bad votes, but overall his record is more conservative than the others in the top tier. His views on federalism and limited gov't is consistent with mine.

Your bias is showing.
He was elected to the senate in 1994, taking the spot left by Gore, and then reelected in 1996. (That's 2 terms) He 'walked away' because he believes in term limits - wasn't a 'career' politician. Isn't now.
Losing a daughter was also a deciding factor..
nice try at denigrating him...
Fred was encouraged to run in 1994 by other Republicans. Not a lucky coincidence. He left after his term was up in 2002. Fred believes in term limits. As I do. It is a good thing. I assume you don’t believe in term limits.
