A Promise is A Promise

Unless you're a politician trying to get elected, apparently. This story is about Rick Heller, who promised FAITHFULLY to "limit himself to eight years in office." But when the eight years was up, he kept running, saying he "didn't realize how important seniority was." Apparently, now he does. But it seems to me if you promise to quit after eight years, you should DO it, or you are a liar. This story is all too often repeated. There are many politicians who promise to "term limit" themselves, but when it comes right down to it, they "like the power" too much to quit. For my part, I would NEVER vote a politician who is exceeding his promised time in office back into his office--and neither should anybody else. This guy should be defeated in the next election.
