Something strange is going on.
In the last couple of months, several sitting Republican members of Congress have announced their intentions either to resign prematurely or not to seek re-election. The list includes Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-TX, Sen. Pete Domenici, R-NM, Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-NB, Sen. John Warner, R-VA, Sen. Wayne Allard, R-CO, former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, R-IL, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-CA, Rep. David Hobson, R-OH, Rep. Jerry Weller, R-IL, Rep. Ray LaHood, R-IL, Rep. Chip Pickering, R-MS, Rep. Deborah Pryce, R-OH, and Rep. Ralph Regula, R-OH.
Although some are resigning for age or health reasons, most are perfectly viable candidates for re-election. It's an lemming-like exodus unlike anything I remember, and it makes me wonder what they know that I don't.
A lot, probably.

We will miss them sorely.
Why do Republicans always post anonymously? They must be ashamed to be Republicans--for good reason.
