July 22, 2024 – Washington Co., WI – I thought Republicans believed in term limits. Why, then, do I keep seeing the Republican Party supporting so many people who have already served two terms (e.g. Eight years)?
When we get new blood and ideas on how to do things better, why aren’t they supporting them in running? The GOP is ‘protecting’ these incumbents so that the same people keep bringing the same, tired ideas. They become complacent.

Washington County Insider will not publish comments that:
- Are considered likely to provoke, attack, or offend others. This is known as “trolling.” Trollers know when they are trolling, and so do we. *See definition of “troll” below. If you notice a few consistent blog trolls disappear, you’ll know why.

NOTES:
- Just because your comment doesn’t show up right away doesn’t mean you’re being censored. When you post a comment it must first go through our filtering software. If it fails, your comment goes into a queue for manual approval.
- Just because a comment or advertisement is on the site, doesn’t mean WCI endorses it.
- The above rules are not intended to stop criticism or dissenters, but rather to stop those who are incapable of participating in a civilized manner.
*Trolling: a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll’s amusement.
