Let’s stop complaining and start acting about what we know is a common sense solution. Since House and Senate will never impose term limits on themselves (they’re called “elections”, Mitch McConnell once quipped), we’ve got one other course: Article V of the Constitution. Read it, digest it, ACT on it. And save the “runaway convention” talk for less sophisticated threads, please — Article V is the only way term limits will ever happen. But it can happen!

It may be a hard pitch to convert to any real business. Happy Thanksgiving!

John does look relatively good for 80!

Ah, now think of the unexploited business opportunity!

Here’s the sales pitch:

Enjoy the proven life extending properties of six wonderful years in the Hanoi Hilton! Jaw broken with rifle butt no extra charge! No “crazies” admitted!

Maybe have Frank Luntz praise the Hanoi Hilton as the Home of War Heroes!

Ivanka, listen up here: Call it the Trump Hanoi International Rest and Spa!

I am sick of “career politicians”. They run for a local office, state legislature, maybe governor-or House. Then set their sites on the Senate….Term limits would have stopped Illinois from becoming Madiganistan. Incumbents have a huge advantage. Gerrymandering in the House districts have created a situation where it’s impossible to get change. No change means NO COMPETITION. America was built upon the notion of competition and creative destruction. We don’t have a dictator-nor do we have a monarchy. Time to do the same thing in the House and Senate.

Though I value older people and their wisdom, the system does not need lifers. But maybe I’m a bit biased as I’ve been hoping Feinstein would go away — for decades now. And she never will, nor will McCain. Maybe 80 and hit the highway should be the motto? Re: your last post — I liked the visual of the big, strong, old, country club, white men sitting on the generous couches! Fairly certain that’s illegal in CA. At the very least a law suit would be filed for racism.

Happy Thanksgiving you old white guy…or car…whatever you are!

And we would have missed their service beyond 12 years? Not bloody likely.

Hear, hear! Other (former) long term members of the Senate Rogues Gallery: Byrd (51yrs), Thurmond (48), Dodd (30), and drum roll for the real poster child for term limits…Teddy K (46+ years).
