#3 People in PA must be dumb as bricks to elect and re-elect scumbags like this guy and Murtha and Fast Eddie Rendell.

Now that he's out of the closet, maybe there's a parade marshall job awaiting him in San Francisco.

#5 People in PA must be dumb as bricks..

When the system rewards seniority and is open ended, people vote themselves as much power as they can get. Some are more equal than others. Term limits will not remove all the effects of seniority but it will hobble it enough to force people to look up and see who they're actually voting for when they pull the lever on a more frequent basis.

#6 Term limits have worked well in California. There voters have at least as much information as voters anywhere. But they keep electing donk legislatures because the donks bribe them with programs. So the unions control the legislative agenda. It's how a republic degenerates into a democracy and then anarchy. These are not the good old days.

#7 I wish I could feel good about Specter. He is not a donk or trunk but a political opportunist going to the highest bidder. He has no allegiance to anyone or anything but himself.

#9 People in PA must be dumb as bricks..

Yeah, some are. Many just vote their interest, which is what Fat Eddie $pendell, murtha, et al. give 'em, which is, money out of other peoples' pockets. We do need term limits, and a stop to a system that lets some people vote themselves a hand in other peoples' pockets. Difficult, but hopefully not impossible...

#10 I'm hoping my PA comrades will make Specter an "pleased and proud" retiree.
