“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Terror fatigue?

Is it possible that people are getting tired of hearing about the war on terror? This article seems to suggest as much, showing a lot of people disappointed that Cheney failed to talk about how he and George would help create jobs and health care for the masses while protecting Social Security.

I realize his supporters just want to hear something that says "we fight for the little guy" even if it is poorly thought out and underwhelming. And I seriously doubt we will undergo terror lag in the final month before the election. But I must say I'm getting a bit sick of hearing Bush/Cheney talk the same talk that they have for the past two years about how everything is getting better and the world is safer with Saddam in jail, even if it is not safer in general.

But it did have me a little hopeful that Bush's sole issue would flame out in the month ahead. It would certainly put my mind at ease.
