They paid attention to policy questions on the economy and when they found President Bush lacking reviews in answers, they made it clear that his apparent lassitude on matters of the hearth was intolerable. But when President reviews Clinton reviews faltered (especially over health care reform) they buckled and largely turned away from politics. The Gingrich Revolution was a venting of frustration but Gingrich's antics and questionable moral fiber apparently sealed the coffin on any broad public activism. The 1996 election brought out only about half of all eligible voters and 2000 was worse (48%). We apparently had given up hope that our vote could change much of anything. . . but I ask you. If you are continually told that the government is the source of social problems, that government is the enemy, that government cannot be trusted, wouldn't you end up feeling hopeless?
