Goodbye....don´t forget your glasses.

Lots of Dem Senators are getting up there is age. In what other profession do people hang onto their job into their 80s?

It´s not only time for term limits but also age limits. We are being governed by their staffs who we don´t elect.

Tired of all these senior citizens in Congress. Anyone else notice they have destroyed our country?

A prime example of what is wrong in DC; 30 years in office. I don´t care who it is; ten years in the House 14 in the senate and you´re gone. "Public service" my but! These people hang up a hammock, use their position to get rich and the stupid voter never gets them out. They stay there and become a cancer in government.

Like so many of his colleagues, he´s retiring to spend more time with under-aged prostitutes.

30 years in the Senate. These politicians make me sick. The congress was never meant to be a full time sinecure. TERM LIMITS NOW!

Hallelujah! Feinstein, McCain, Levin, Methusalah, I will be so happy when they are gone! We are forced to listen to their senility every single day, a fate worse than waterboarding. And what are they going to do with the six months of life they have remaining once they leave? WHAT job could possibly be worth dying in?

This is great news...worthless!

Michigan people are idiots, by definition. This guy was the head of armed services and guess how many defense jobs he brought home? None. No Humvee plants, no tanks, nothing. I hate pork spending, but how do California and CT and VA get every contract while our "arsenal of defense" goes broke?

Can we get that seat?

A little good news for a change.

Used to watch this punishing person and his evil twin Biden in hearings. The ugliest, most demeaning questioners ever. Add Nadler for a third.

I think that all the old Demonrats and some Republicans are retiring because they know the American people are now aware of the damage they have caused our country.

Time for more of the elite permanent political ruling class to say good-bye.

There is no statute of limitations on the treason that these miscreants have perpetrated. May the hounds of hell chase them for eternity. It is great news for Michigan, hopefully we can elect someone that has a little common sense - a tall order, but there is hope.

Excellent question, #10...we have the governor´s chair with Snyder but Mitt didn´t carry Michigan...maybe is Mitt returns as executor of bankrupt Detroit and someone whose a strong candidate runs, we can use Michigan as a test case for what really needs to be done to turn around states and the fed govt....Levin´s #2 on the committee is Jack Reed of RI and he´s also up in 2014 but with Chaffee as gov we can forget it...gotta take the Senate so a real conservative, Inhofe, will become committee chair!

#2&7 When will that old bag Feinstein drop dead and take that old battle axe Boxer too. Oh well there is too many to list... Oh...oh yeah take that jerk McCain too!

#9 please restrict your comments to Democrats in Michigan who voted for Levin. Not everyone did so that is insulting. Good news but it will be difficult for a Republican to win due to overload of liberals in Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Chaos, fear and bankruptcy: My work here is done.

He should of done this along time ago because the goofy voters would of kept reelecting the jerk.

Too bad he doesn´t take Stabemnow and Dingle and Conyers with him.

My view is NO ONE serves more than ten years, that means judges and elected officials.

I was told that we need them there long periods of time because of their wisdom

What wisdom have you seen from either our elected nitwits or the supreme court on down to state and local levels.

We need to march on d.c. and put an end to this lunacy!

#4- as a middle Atlantic person we´ve hade plenty serve 30+. Biden, McCulski, Sarbanes, Castle, Cardin, Arlen Specter, etc... And the only ones voted out were republicans in the primary! Just another reason the right is better than the left!

30 years to fill up his wheelbarrow?

Definition of Treason:

Any US Senator that serves (steals) past two terms.

I am a PROUD Michigander. I am not idiot. I live on the West side of the LP, the conservative side!

I just got off phone with Cindy who almost became the State´s Co-Chair for the GOP. She is TEA Party all the way. We are both over joyed that Levin is leaving. I am sure she and a great many others in both the TEA Parties and GOP will begin working to get a GOP Member elected in 2014.

Remember, in many ways Michigan is today a GOP state. We have the House, Senate, Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General are all GOP controlled. The battle is to keep what we have and get more TEA Party people into office.

Also from the west side of Michigan, Grand Rapids. Hurray that Levin is quitting. Lets get a good Republican to run.

Good. Another democrat puke bites the dust.

Michigan: Can you give us three decent candidates that won´t take Karl Rove´s phone calls?

Take your brother with you.

Need to run as responsible economic candidate.

Fight for jobs.

And remember, energy is jobs.

Oil means gasoline, which needs to be clean-burning and low-priced to ensure that people drive their cars that detroit builds.

Energy production also creates jobs, and provides NEW tax-revenues that will help fund schools, teachers, police and fire, to name a few items needing funding.

This is a better alternative compared to trying to get more out of the same folks who would then have less to spend themselves.

Senator Carl Levin served on the Detroit
City Council for 8 years (the last 4 of them as President of the Council) from 1969 to 1977. Our devastating riots occurred in 1967 (main riot) and in 1968 (following Martin Luther King, Jr´s assassination). Mr. Levin served on the Detroit City
Council immediately post-riots. Working together with all of the major unions and various liberal civil rights organizations, Mr. Levin and his fellow Democrats oversaw and helped to orchestrate the final demise of the City of Detroit. His 30 years in Washington only helped to exacerbate the problems he helped to create for the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan. Despite all of the public accolades and the many years of service, history will show that Carl Levin (and his brother, Sander) really have not served the people of Michigan well.

I´m also a Michigander who lives near Lansing another bastion of liberals in the state. I´m overjoyed to finally be rid of this monster. He´s done nothing for the state but has enriched himself greatly in all his years in DC. The Republican Party in MI is pretty worthless so I doubt they´ll be successful in replacing him but it´s still wonderful to be getting rid of him. Now if only McCain and Graham would take a clue and also retire.
