This post is an outright lie. Congressman Knollenberg never said he'd only serve two terms when he first ran for Congress. I challenge you to show written documentation of this claim. This may be the blogosphere. But you will have no credibility if you spread lies and falsehoods to make your political points. It's okay to play tough. But play honest and fair.
Knollenberg is a liar anyway you want to look at it.
Let's start with the Contract for America that Knollenberg signed onto in 1994. That contained a provision for a "citizen legislature" which the Republicans defined as 6 terms for Members of the House. http://www.house.gov/house/Contract/termlimd.txt
Knollenberg signed onto that "Contract". (See H10253, Sept. 29, 1994)
Now Knollenberg is in breach of that "Contract" because he has run 8 times.
Right there Knollenberg is a liar.
Knollenberg is the outright liar.
When Knollenberg signed onto the Contract with America he signed onto a limit of 6 terms. Knollenberg did not keep his word.
