What MANDATE???????????



What mandate are the FREEPERS talking about......If they tlike their King George could read they would see what a real MANDATE.....

1980 Regan......50.8 or 489 EV
Carter.....41.0 or 49 EV
Anderson....6.6 or 0 EV

1992..Clinton......43.7 or 379 EV
Bush Sr.......37.4 or 168 EV
Perot.........18.9 or 0 EV

In 1980 the votes for Perot were no votes for Bush because not many knew about Clinton so in effect Clinton could have had in effect a 61% of the Popular vote.

So Tell me where is the MANDATE that Shrub supporters talk about....Id say Bush only has about a week of Political Capital to spend before that is broke to.

4. The freepers never let those pesky little facts get in the way.
Facts are for idiots as far as the freepers are concerned.

7. If they say mandate and the
American public hears mandate enough times then it then it will become one. Didn't it work for them with WMD and Iraq = Al Qaida.

Say something enough times and a parrot will repeat it back; But doesn't a parrot have brains the size of a pea???
