The Patriot Post® · Another Democrat Retirement

Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) became the longest serving member of Congress in history on June 7, 2013, passing the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV). On Monday, however, the 87-year-old Dingell announced his retirement at the end of this term, his 29th full one. Dingell replaced his father 58 years ago, and now his wife Debbie says she’ll run for his seat. “I’m not going to be carried out feet first,” Dingell said. “I don’t want people to say I stayed too long.” He’s a few terms too late for that one, especially considering he was a primary author of ObamaCare. Evidently, however, the people of Detroit are slow learners. Democrat one-party rule, corresponding with Dingell’s terms in office, has crippled that once great city.
