Ted Re...I am looking forward to the link you are going to provide supporting your claim above.
You know as well as I SI doesn't go back 2 yrs, with their posts. However Tim,Al; Mani,or Tench can verify what I said.
I was not talking about winning or losing. I was talking about his mandate or the lack there of. Do you know the difference?
Really. Here is your post. Tell me where you say GW won the presidency, anywhere in it.
He did not win the most popular votes and yet he and his minions and his supporters act like he won by the largest plurality in the history of the US and do what they damn please whether it pisses off half the country or not.
Secondly, your contention that GW didn't have a mandate, is ridiculous. When you win the presidency, you automatically have a mandate to perform the duties of that office, which is to take command of the executive branch of gov., whether you have a one, 5, 10 or 50 electoral vote margin of victory. Where a strong victory, or good poll ratings help, is when trying to pass a bill through the legislatures. The fact that the presidency, and both houses of congress are republican is by itself a strong mandate, to pass rep. led legislation. Also, introducing legislation, which is popular, such as education reform, can carry a large mandate, because of current public support, not from the size of the election victory.
I do not accept Bush as my president because of the way he and his cronies handled the FLA elections and their dramatic run to the Sup. Court/daddy.
Oh boo hoo, cry me up a storm. Who gives a rats behind what excuse you want to make up. Al had the Fla. supreme ct on his side, and GW had the USSC. According to you, not only are the dems too stupid to know electoral votes win the presidency, they also didn't seem to know the USSC is the highest ct. in the land. You dems aren't smart enough to get more than a D in civics class, much less run the country. The simple truth is GW is the president, plain and simple, and it is your duty, in a democracy, to accept that fact. Otherwise, we have an anarchy, not a democracy. You do know, most Americans despise a sore loser. Perhaps your dems. incessant whinning about winning the popular vote,but losing the presidency, is one reason why GW currently has a 50-40 margin of victory in all the polls; and the biggest reason for the lopsided vote is the publics concerns about any democrat to have the will to stand up to the terrorist.
It takes someone arrogant to act like he has a clear mandate when he doesn't.
LOL No wonder all of the dem. presidents lately, Bill and Jimmy have been such wusses. They both had a mandate, and didn't know enough to use it. That is your problem, not GW's. |
