Dole on Term Limits

From a Question and answer session with Sen. Dole following speech at the Portsmouth Rotary Luncheon on Thursday, February 8, 1996.

My view, in ten, twelve years, whether you had a term limits law or not, there's going to be term limits because everybody runs, I'm gonna run two terms. So term limits are here, for all practical purposes. Uh, my view is, you know, its like Harry Truman used to say, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Uh, politics in America, maybe we're not as good as some other country, I can't think of any. You know, we're the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. I think being in the United States Senate's a great opportunity and a great responsible job (applause) and those who retire, for different reasons, I think just have to, uh, you know, some are personal, some are health, some are, they're just kind of tired of it.
