And sure, people should be able to vote for whomever they want too. But just how’s that working out for our country?

If you want term limits try and pass them, otherwise getting rid of someone just because they have been in office for a long time is foolish. He's conservative, save your ammo for one who isn't.

The "vision of the founding fathers" is the Constitution. Regardless of your opinion of how long one should be in office the founders didn't specify term limits.

One day, not far off as I see it, people like you are going to wake up and be completely surprised that the country they thought they had is gone!

You are advocating getting rid of one of he most conservative senators in congress and you think "people like me" are going to be surprised? Whatever bud.

I guess you are also o.k. with all those voters deciding that they want the RATs so they will get all that “free $hit” too. I mean after all, “it’s what they want,”right?

That the kind of leap of logic I would suspect of someone willing to replace one of the most conservative senators just because he's been there "too long".

“That the kind of leap of logic I would suspect of someone willing to replace one of the most conservative senators just because he’s been there “too long”.”

Whatever!

From the Washington Times:

“Election-year shifts?
Mr. Roberts‘ opponents say voters shouldn’t be fooled by his voting record this year and point out that he ranked much lower on Heritage Action’s 2012 list, with a score of 65 percent.
They also accuse him of adopting the same strategy that Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican, employed during his re-election fight, running to the right during the campaign only to return to his moderate ways after he won another six-year term.
“It’s important to remember that some of these incumbents are not liberals or even moderates,” Daniel Horowitz, the group’s policy director, said on their website. “But they are not conservatives either. They are a ruling class of special-interest career politicians who pursue personal power as an end to itself. When it suits their need to cast some conservative votes, they will do so. But when they need to placate the special interests, they will jump in head first. They certainly will never put their careers on the line to fight for us.”

So much for your assertion that Roberts is a Conservative!
