Term-limit pledges? Oh No! I wasn't talking about my term...
What I meant was I think everybody else should limit their terms...specially those nasty Democrats!...


Term-limit pledges get left behind By Andrea Stone, USA TODAY
Thu Apr 13, 7:06 AM ET



Jeff Flake pledged during his first campaign for Congress in 2000 that if elected, he would serve three two-year terms. But the Arizona Republican is running again to keep his seat in the House of Representatives.


"It was a mistake to limit my own terms," says Flake, a conservative who has challenged Republican leaders on federal spending. He says the once-fashionable movement to limit terms in Congress has "just petered out."

3. In Indiana a congressman
(Mark Souder 3rd district) was suppose to retire 2 terms ago) he also had a self imposed term limit.....I'm hoping his Democrat challenger retires him this year......

I'm an Itenerat Hoosier trapped in Louisville Ky. I know the race your talking about. Maybe this will be the year that Indiana turns blue...

Just because IUs colors are red and white doesn't mean they have to vote that way, keep the faith...

7. Well tell me I've gone plum crazy but I think
we have a very good chance of picking up 4 seats this year and I'm not counting the 3rd district,but we have a real strong candidate(Dr. Tom Hayhurst) running against Souder and if he can overcome Souder's bottomless campaign chest than we will win....YES..Indiana Blue.. gosh that could be a song title.......
