| #12 I think part of the problem is that those long-term residents of the cesspool actually believe they are there to rule as opposed to serve. Most probably actually started out serving and representing their districts but as time went on they because rulers. |

| #10 it's not like these retards are actually doing anything other than warming a seat, preening for the cameras and pulling a lever from time to time. in a way that they are told. their staffers that act behind the scenes are the ones pulling the strings. and their strings are being pulled by other deep state bureaucrats |

| #8 As de Gaulle said, "The graveyards are full of indispensable men." If all this accumulated wisdom is such a big deal, why does government specialize in f*cking things up? |

| #3 What it wrong with an age limit of 65? That's when the society has said for a hundred years that you should retire from your primary job. That's not saying you can't work one justs need to do something less physical and less mental and less dangerous. I wouldn't want to write OS software drivers at 80. Like get real! |

| #2 Strom Thurmond and Robert "Exalted Cyclops" Byrd were 100, and that was years ago. But that old bag "Senator" Feinstein...she and a host of others on both sides (and the occasional "I") just need to go. |
