"No disrespect intended toward John, but it's obvious that he's just been in Washington too long and gotten too comfortable with the Washington establishment. It's time for him to come home and in that spirit, I pledge to only serve two consecutive six-year terms in the United States Senate. A total of 12 years, then it will be my time to leave the Senate to be succeeded by another citizen."
So said J.D. Hayworth, the reliable conservative who is challenging seldom-conservative John McCain in Arizona's Republican senatorial primary.
Coincidence? Or did he read the RightFieldLine's proposal this week for "an amendment to the U. S. Constitution setting term limits for senators and representatives. In the meantime, sharply lower retirement pay after two terms for senators and six terms for representatives."
At this pace, the revolution may not take as long as skeptics have suggested.
