They had better find the will, or they want get the “way,” Steve. Patience is not an American “virtue.” They were elected to do something, and I don’t see anything happening.

People forget, Fallenmonk, that 2000 was about a desire for change, more than a need. It wouldn’t have been close enough to steal if people hadn’t decided they wanted something different. Now you have the desire for change, so a number of incumbents could be surprised and party may not make a difference.

It used to be that incumbency was an advantage in elections. That may not be the case anymore. It sure seems to me that the “turn ’em all out and let’s start over” scenario is gaining some ground. It sure seems like they are ignoring the voter’s wishes and as the voters figure out they are being ignored will begin to resent being taken for granted.

Lower trust than during Watergate? Damned right! Unlike the Senate, the American people as a whole does have some sense. Their sense that they are being played for fools is completely justified at the moment.

The current administration will not remedy this. Only Congress can do that. The question is whether they have the will. I’m waiting.

They don’t keep their jobs if they don’t get any votes. They may find that being an incumbent is a negative in a lot of places.

Yes, but the sense of the House and Senate is that the American people are dirty and stupid.
