3. I've heard the word "mandate" enough to last a lifetime. Next they'll be saying they
have "political capital" to spend.

4. The dems had the same mandate two years ago. Not sure they ever realized that.
Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 07:42 PM by bluerum
The repukes stonewalled every piece of legislation that came along for two years. What is the sudden sense of urgency I wonder? Weren't they supposed to be doing the peoples business then as well?

9. Agreed. More a commentary on their inability to toot their own horn.
I certainly hope they didn't expect the pukes to do it for them.

7. Not feeling it at all
The combo of the end of the last Congressional session and Tucson has pretty much deflated their little party balloon.

10. Djou didn't vote with Republicans much at all
He was a Rino of all Rinos, and hated by Tea Baggers.

25. His district is overwhelmingly Democrat
He would have lost whether he voted like Jesse Helms or Lincoln Chafee. I have no idea how he won that special election.

11. They have the maority in one half of one third of
the government.
That's not a mandate.



Unless you are a Republican.

23. If there is a mandate its to work together to solve this country's economic mess.
The items they list are "mandates" from the teabaggers... hardly representative of America.

26. The Democrats must have a mandate in the Senate then.
The Democratic Party won the Senate this year - something they forget.

28. Yes. You guys have a mandate. From a SLIVER of nutcases in this country.
Because the bulk of the people who turned out for Obama in '08 stayed home, and YOU GOPers got the backwash that was left. It just looked like more because it was all there was. The same backwash that we flooded outta here in '08 because there were WAY too many more Dems/liberals/progressives.

You guys won ONLY because the sliver of nutcases turned out at the polls and the other side more or less stayed home.
