So you want to oust a reliable conservative just because he has been around for 20 years? To add to that you’d like to replace his with a young RINO? No wonder the GOP is such a mess. Adam Kinzinger is the Scott Brown of Illinois.

Yes. For the record, I am not a Republican, they lost me after Reagan. I am a Conservative, and I believe in term limits.

Term limits would prevent a few “reliable conservatives” from “serving” us longer than they may like, but it would also severely cut down on the amount of corruption in Congress. I can live with that tradeoff.

I find it quaint that people who would normally be all in favor of term limits, change their tune a bit when it comes to their own Congressman.

As for the “GOP being in a mess”, I couldn’t agree more. They are every bit as corrupt as the democrat party. But....can you imagine the massive support the GOP could attract nationally if they would come out with a term limits platform? It will never happen, but it’s nice to think about.

Don Manzullo is my congressman;I’ve known him a long time.He chairs the Small Business Committee and doesn’t make a lot of headlines.He’s always been a solid conservative and I proudly voted for him today.Boehner and the statist GOP losers backing Kinzinger should tell you all you need to know.
