Congressman reneges on term-limits pledge

Note that this guy is already thinking about re-election in 2006, prior to the 2004 election. I wonder if anyone thought to ask him about his plans for his 8th, 9th and 10th terms after that.

A quote the promise-breaker:

"It seemed to me at that time term limits would be a good idea for the nation," he said. "I didn't fully understand what personal relationships and seniority could mean to the district."

Translation: "I had no idea how much power there was to grab in Washington. No way I'm giving this up."

And then there's this gem:

LoBiondo said because other congressmen have broken the term limit pledge, it would be unfair to people in his district to abide by it.

Translation: "Don't trust me, or my colleagues."
