In addition to your observation that you cannot beat something with nothing, which I agree with, I wanted him out because of his age. I am old enough to relate to the necessity for us to put younger people in elective office to cut down on the corruption of long termers who just will not give up their status and perks. There is a downward curve as one ages and in a political office, that means that staff must logically be running the job, with the elected senator or congress person picking and choosing their public exposure for relection. Term limits must become an issue for citizens who want us to clean up our government and regain sanity in how this country is run.

Term limits are not good for the conservative cause. The new candidates typically get into a competition over who will give away more of the store if elected. Old politicians grow more conservative with time, even the leftists. As in business, the speed of government going bankrupt is partially a function of the speed of leadership turnover. We need to get the turnover rate down. In fact we would have been better off with a conservative King George Washington than a two term founding President.
