WHY on Gods green earth is it our side that is always headed for the doors and the Dems are carried out in coffins!!!!
Exactly my question.
Here these people are, front row seats to making this nation better than ever, and yawn, they choose to leave.
What the H?
“WHY on Gods green earth is it our side that is always headed for the doors and the Dems are carried out in coffins!!!!”
Because Demoncrats are insane.
No kidding
Milk Dud 2.0 will cling to power til his last breath.

Understand the point you are making but I i’m sure we can agree that after 30+ years in medicine and 12 years in congress we can all wish Mr.Roe a well earned retirement.

Replies six and seven are good, short answers.
The answer about his age being 74 deserves honourable mention.
The best medium-length answer, in my opinion, would be to go read the whole of Plato’s Republic with the advice to reflect in particular on the teaching concerning the Philosopher-King in its full context. My short version of the medium-length answer is that people who want power should generally never be given power, which means that if you want the best people to rule over you, you must find means to compel them to be willing to rule. That the Dems were willing to nominate Hillary was sufficient to bring Trump out of the woodwork (I don’t think that he would want the job if someone roughly as competent as himself were willing to take it, which makes him better than any professional politician who would rather have a higher job if they are roughly competent enough).
Full disclosure—while I have a degree in philosophy, it is not my field (I am a college professor), and while I have respect for Plato, as a philosopher I would identify as an Aristotelean in the Thomistic tradition (this is capable of further specification).
You probably don’t want to hear what the long answer might look like, or a summary thereof.
Rats jumping ship? Cowards?
Bribery or blackmail. Take your pick.
I guess the thinking is if they stay longer than they should, they will get carried out in coffins too.
Two reasons. First, 11 years (12 at retirement) he’s been in four terms. That’s plenty for anyone. If we had an ideal “term limits” for House members, it would be 12.
Second, as I wrote last September, I think something huge is going on with the House: it has committed suicide as an institution and has nothing to offer anyone.

I think my case has only gotten stronger after I wrote this.
It was his original intention to not serve perpetually. I think he served at least two terms beyond his original intention served seemingly for ever.From the outset, Roe did not want to serve for ever
Being in the minority sucks!!!

Democrats have a core ideology, socialism, that drives them. The GOP not so much. Other than getting rich and setting their kids up to do the same it’s hard to see what the beltway GOP as party stands for.
ROE IS A RINO. Hated by the VETERANS who have to us the VA hospital in his district.
Because we don't have term limits (12 years in each House, max, no grandfathering), and we need to eliminate Demwit judges who consistently rule in favor of the Demagogic Party agenda.
