Simple question, what would a significant Obama mandate act like? How would it be accepted by GOP?

[WingDinger]

How magnanimous would Romney be? How fervent would the calls for calm be? Would the Nugent's be tamped down? Would calls for second amendment remedies ramp up? A play by the Oathkeepers?

When Obama goes off in earnest against stuffed shirt, the lack of gravitas and depth will be evident, likely causing even more lack of trust from wingers.

What would the jig being up for fascists do to them?

1. I have 3 words for you: Duck and cover.

2. Indeed. nt

3. 2008 gives you the answer to that one

Obama and the Democrats had an incredible MANDATE and Republicans ignored it.. They decided the reason they were beaten so badly was because they were not Conservative (read batshit crazy) enough. They decided to double down and it seemed to work for them..Makes me shudder just the thought of it..

5. Im afraid you are right. And they will blame milquetoast.

4. I tend to view any "mandate" as having a LEGITIMATE 60-vote LIBERAL majority in the Senate..

and a majority in the House as well. IF that were to happen, and the Idiots knew they could NOT filibuster, I think at least some of them would smarten up right quick, and turn on the CrazyBase that led their party to such a low point. The Base would revolt, but with that kind of tamper-proof legislative mandate, I don't think even the likes of Rush or Beck could make enough of a stand that the GOP could still call itself THE Party of Conservatism in America. It would either destroy the party, of drag the GOP so far back to the left (with the remnants of the Base kicking and screaming, no doubt) that it would re-invent American Liberalism for a generation=)
