“I just turned 74 and my kids said I’m now close to 75!”

Well, I’m 6 months into being 76, so I guess that makes me “close to 77!”

It’s now the GOPe’s turn in the old age survivors box. Up until the last couple of elections, the RATs were the “old folks,” but they’ve either been replaced or died off. So now it’s time to RIF the GOP old folks in the Senate. The idea that 20% of the Senate accounts for nearly 50% of the time served in office, is a travesty. It’s one thing to be in your seventies, even eighties, but to be a Senator implies al lot more grey matter than a lot of people have in those age brackets. And beyond that, they positions weren’t designed to be the lifetime deals we’ve allowed them to become. No one in either House of Congress should be allowed to “serve” double digit years collectively there.

TOTALLY AGREE...

As we age we loose the energy levels and we become slower, takes us longer to get chores done...and yep if your 6 months from 77, consider yourself...77... (wink~wink)

lol ,,,my hubby of 56 years is turning 79 in June...and I told him...WOW YOUR ONLY A YEAR FROM 80...HE LAUGHS says it's only a number!!! life has been good, but we are getting really old...

John McCain is 81 in Aug. and he too needs to step aside..his grey matter is gone...and I believe he is hiding a lot of lies from the American people. YES We do need term limits..
