Let's hear it for ennui

The Washington Post reported over this weekend that even in formerly secure Republican areas (like in some districts of southern VA) legislators are looking at the possibility that they may be defeated. One can only hope so.   The reported cause of this is apparently a nationalization of the idea of “republicanism” and identifying it with a particularly unsuccessful Bush administration.  Finally perhaps the frustration over the economy, the war, the governmental and business corruption, the social security collapse, the failure of FEMA, the loss of civil rights enshrined in law, and the loss of civil rights in extra legal action, the tax breaks for the wealthy, and the inherent racism and isolationism of the administration is finally going to show itself in an election.

 

We’ll see…
