We already have term limits, they're called elections. Think Hatch has been in for too long? Vote him out.

Let's get together and limit Hatch's term at the ballot box. That would be easier and more effective than enacting term limits via legislation or Constitutional amendment, either of which would require assent of the very persons who would be negatively affected by term limits.

I guess he lied.

We can't vote hatch out. We've seen the enemy, and the enemy is us.

Vote him out then.

Pretty simple.

No, he didn't lie. He misspoke. Or he expressed his views inelegantly. What he meant to say was . . .

Start a petition to introduce term limits and see what the results of a vote will be.

This dictator has Utah complacent and brainwashed. This is what happens when you don't hold people accountable. They can get away with murder and call it conservative.

The liberals are showing their hypocrisy quite openly these days. They forget that Senator Patrick Leahy and Daniel Inouye have been in the Senate longer than Hatch.

Why is it that they are only against conservative leaning people being in office too long, while they ignore the simple fact that they are more likely to keep career politicians in office longest.

If you look at the 20 senior most senators, 7 are Republican and 13 are Democrats. Doesn't this show that Liberals are highly supportive of career politicians?

If you liberals want to show that you believe what you claim you do, lets hear about the liberals that have served too long and need to go.
