I'm sure in the future, Ron Jr will be letting the world know of his opinions. But in the meantime: his last sentence could only be a reference to Bush. Lots of definitions of mandate: google.com While the point in his first sentence could apply to all three [GWB, Clinton and Carter] And as for Jimmy Carter BTW...I never felt Jimmy Carter was being "inclusive"....in fact, I was put off by his preaching constantly to the American public. .... Piece from PBS...not exactly a conservative group... pbs.org >>>>>>>>Look at how he was elected in the first place. In the early and decisive days of his campaign, he spoke the language of religion and morality far more, and far more effectively, than he spoke the language of politics. He spoke openly and convincingly about his Christian faith--and he managed to do this in a way that was inclusive and tolerant. Nowadays every politician seems to feel obligated to talk about being born again, just as in decades past politicians seemed to feel obligated to have themselves photographed wearing an Indian chief's bonnet. But Carter was Christian before Christian was cool. Carter was the first and is still the only candidate for President who ever used the word "love"---in its specifically religious and Christian sense--in virtually every campaign speech he delivered..... Though Carter didn't have a political ideology, he did have what I would call a moral ideology--and on this he was faultless. He knew the difference between right and wrong. This may sound like faint praise--after all, doesn't everybody know the difference between right and wrong?--but it isn't. It is very high praise..... <<<<<<<<<
