Richard Burr

Let’s nip this in the bud. We don’t need serial legislators in the halls of the Senate. Let’s make sure that Richard Burr sees he’s becoming one and decides to not run because he’s going to be successfully challenged in the Republican primary!

David Vitter

Scandal plagued David Vitter has announced that he is running for re-election in 2010. He’s still popular with the Louisiana voters. But we’re concerned that he, like so many of his colleagues, has become a serial legislator. He’s been in the House of Representatives and before that, the Louisiana House of Representatives.

Jim Bunning

In major league baseball history there have been only 17 perfect games pitched. In 1964 Jim Bunning pitched a perfect game. Unfortunately for us, he’s not pitched a perfect legislative record. We don’t mean what he has sponsored or how he has voted, but rather how many times he’s run for office.

Patty Murray

Patty Murray isn’t sure if she’s going to run for reelection in 2010. Let’s help her out. All the Democrats in Washington should contact their party officials and insist that someone new be promoted by the ballot…someone who’s not a serial legislator (we encourage Republicans to do the same thing).

Chuck Grassley

Iowa’s Senator Chuck Grassley is the most senior Republican senator in the US Senate. This serial legislator has served in the Iowa legislature and in the House of Representatives. He has listed his occupation as “politician”. That alone is reason enough to not reelect him.

Patrick Leahy

“Leaky Leahy” has been in his Vermont Senate seat since 1975. This very liberal senator has consistently run for re-election. His positions put him at odds with his Roman Catholic faith. But, as we’ve stated before on TfTL, those aren’t valid reasons to not reelect him.

Mike Crapo

But popularity doesn’t mean it’s good for the country for you to stay in office. What’s good for the country is to return to private practice, or even as a judge (Harry Reid suggested he take the place of Sandra Day O’Connor when she retired). As much as we might like the guy, it’s time for Idaho to send a new Senator to Washington.

Russ Feingold

Senator Feingold is like most of those in federal office – an attorney who isn’t satisfied with working for a living. Instead, he’s run for state office followed by federal office. When he ran for his Senate office he posted on his garage 5 promises that he would live by if he were to be elected. Unfortunately for the citizens of Wisconsin and the nation, only serving one term wasn’t one of them.

Johnny Isakson

Continuing our countdown of the 2010 Senate races we bring you republican Johnny Isakson of Georgia. One of the few non-lawyers in elected office, Senator Isakson has a public service career longer than this first term in the Senate. Senator Isakson seems to think elected office is the best place for his skills. We applaud his willingness to serve. We just would like him to do it in the private sector.

Byron Dorgan

Byron Dorgan has spent the last 40 years of his 66 years supported by the tax payer. He was appointed North Dakota’s Tax Commissioner at the tender age of 26. From there, he went to the House of Representatives and then on to the Senate. He’s climbed the ladder almost to the top (just needs that President pin for his lapel).
