"Unfortunately Cruz won't be leading; Boehner and McConnell will. Cruz will be the voice in the wilderness that the establishment ignores."

I actually doubt that. If the GOPe gets the Senate it won't be because everyone hates Obambi. Cruz and a few others, will have set the new standard, simply because so many want to return to our roots.

I believe the old guard will have much to think about, and we all know how they flip-flop. If they flip towards conservatives, great. Remember, how the House won the majority because of conservatives? The McPains, Gramnesty, and the do nothing AckConnell still cherish their jobs. However, you can bet Sen. Collins will always disregard our Constitution. At least Snow is gone.

If only the Founding Fathers had put term limits in the Constitution or as an Amendment. But then, they couldn't foresee self-serving politicians that would spend their life dictating our inherent rights and spend so much time trying to establish a legacy through their unnecessary and over-bearing legislation.

If only I had a time machine...what I would tell Mr. Washington, Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Adams. Mr Madison and all the Fathers of our nation what happens when you don't include term limits in your Constitution.

Texas has the right idea with legislative sessions being every other year. The less legislatures are in session, the less harm they can do. That's second on my list after term limits - reduced Congressional sessions.

When the GOPe gets the Senate then why should we expect them to behave any differently? They will have shown that they can ignore the Tea Party in races like McConnell's and Corchran's and Roberts's and Alexander's and still expect the conservative wing to vote for them. They will conclude, rightly, that they owe that part of the party nothing and will go on doing business as usual.

If you had a time machine the only thing I would add to your plan is take videos with you. A picture is worth a thousand words and a view of today's candidates would make our Founding Fathers add term limits so fast our heads would spin.
