What needs to be changed?

Clearly, it's a career Politician that's beyond his years of contributing anything meaningful. I am sure the Unions own him. How could he have any connection with the average schmuck in Michigan?
Just like Frank "FU" Lautenburg... he NEVER cared what the people of Nj wanted it, like Bloomburg, it was always only about what HE wanted. The earthworms in Arlington are gonna die eating that contaminated flesh.:7:

Really?? Just because he's elderly, irrespective he's been doing good in congress since 1955? This guy's not Lautenberg, not even close. That he may honestly and respectfully disagree with your views while faithfully upholding those of his constituents certainly shouldn't earn him even your worthless scorn.

And you know this, How?
You really believe he's in tune with his constituents?
Maybe someone who live in Michigan would weigh in. My remarks for Lautenburg are first hand, you may be correct about this guy, but MD_Vet's point was along the lines of where I went ....Lifetime politician. 57 years on the same job. Other than the owner of a business and lifetime politicians who works 57 years on the same job..... VERY very very few people. My comments were not addressed to anybody personally
Yours was.

That be 'cause you called him out. And as I see it with no personal knowledge and for no other reason than age.

There are MULTIPLE problems w/ Congress, particularly the Senate. This is just one of them. Term limits gotta come at some point. Next, the 17th amendment needs to be repealed. Likely one of the most anti-constitutional measures passed under the guise of being an 'amendment' in the first place. Totally blows the purpose of having 2 houses with 2 purposes out of the water. Makes the Senate totally useless.

The man was elected to office by his constituents. Apparently their opinion differed from yours. John Dingle has been a strong advocate for our second amendment rights and received an A+ rating from the NRA. Do you always shoot from the hip?

This, and this again. Someone who is a public servant and makes a career out of it has found his pocket lined very well.

Agreeing with me. and me with you, is bad for both our reps, muggsy, So let's knock it off. ok?

John Dingle is a good man. Undeserving of being dragged to his death behind a pick-up truck simply because he's aging and has dedicated his life to public service.
