In a diary I wrote a few weeks ago, I linked to an article in CQ Politics about 8 House Republicans who were seeking re-election in violation of pledges not to do so.

I then pointed out that we're now 12 years past 2004, when the Republicans all signed the Contract with America, whose 10th plank was the Citizen Legislature Act, a proposed Constitutional amendment limiting all Congressional service to, you guessed it, 12 years.

As will surprise nobody, these weak Republicans have jettisoned this principle now that it's become inconvenient.  Most of them are running for re-election.  In the last diary, I asked you to help me find references to explicit pledges they made that they are now breaking.

Last week, Taegan Goddard linked to an article in CQ Politics about eight House members who are breaking personal pledges not to seek an additional term.

All are Republicans, and all entered office vowing to make good on their firm belief in term limits.  Now that the chips are down, they're all too weak to come through.  When you're as weak as these people are, it doesn't matter what you believe: you only ever do what's convenient.
