Can't say I am sorry to see him go.

    I worry about turning congress on a constitutional convention. Who knows what they'd do?

    Right, Romney or Hillary would have been a *big* improvement.
    Or Kerry, or Gore, or Dole, or Dukakis, or Mondale . . .
    Term limits would have gotten us some or all of those clowns, which is strong evidence that term limits are useless as a means of advancing liberty.

    Good riddance. He destroyed the collegial atmosphere in the senate.

    Rather have Obama for 4 years or eight years?
    Now that is a tough one.
    How about Harry Reid? Six years enough or do you want 36 years?
    Can't defend freedom if you are hiding from Obama in fear.

    "That is only an irrational argument invented by statists to prevent the people from limiting terms." Wow, certainly can't argue with that ironclad, airtight logic.

    Oh, wait . . . . Obama.

    Thanks. It is not my place to judge anyone.
    IMO, Jesus is the door to God.
    I do have a right to blow my nose at dimwits who govern me, though.

    I'm an atheist. Thanks for the permission to hold whatever beliefs I want. You may too. And you can advocate whatever position you like.

    The pity is that we must wait until 2017 for that Senate's Slimy Stench to go away.

    If the con-gress isn't changed then any attempt at changing the constitution will be controlled by statists and looters.

    That's the idea but unfortunately for most not the fact.

    If we do have a constitutional convention I hope that the citizenship puts enough pressure on the incumbents to amend the constitution to include term limits for all federal elected positions.

    That is only an irrational argument invented by statists to prevent the people from limiting terms. Include some real penalties for an office holder not fulfilling promises and easy recall in the last year in the term limit laws. The pols need to become public "servants" again. They give up rights and power to be elected, not gain rights and power.

    I never understood why anyone voted for a little weirdo like him anyway. He always sounded like some sort of deviant anyway.

    "If there is NO second term, there is no re-election distraction for that last year service." Not always a good thing, as it can sometimes free term-limited statist politicians to inflict considerable damage on their way out.
