You had to feel sorry for McConnell yesterday when he temporarily blanked out on camera. He's 81, he's been falling a lot. I read that he had polio as child, so he is probably suffering from post-polio syndrome. I read in the news this morning that he sometimes uses a wheel chair to get around. Clearly, it is time for him to go, as well as a lot of other geriatrics that are clinging to their positions like it's the last supper.
We really need to get serious about voting these old people out of their jobs. If they can't decide for themselves, they need the voting public to do it for them. Realistically (and perhaps a bit idealistically) they are passing law and making policies for the future that they will never live to see. Diane Finestein looks like she died and was brought back to life. So many of them are in their 80s.
We need term limits and failing that, we need to take it upon ourselves, as voters, to impose term limits. When they serve a long time, they get locked into the party politics and not the opinions of their constituents. They get in the beltway and get insulated from the real world.
