Repubs act as if Bush was elected with a mandate....

[kentuck]

If there was any president in history that should be looking for bipartisanship and working together, it should be George W Bush. One would think he would understand the circumstance under which he is presently in his office. He said he was going to be a "uniter, not a divider", but he has been anything but.

Now he has his Repub elfs in the Senate pulling an unheard of 30hr-anti-filibuster in an attempt to ram thru 4 more right-wing judges. He should be grateful with what he has already been given but he seems to have a greed for power that cannot be satisfied.

1. He was elected by 56% of the Supreme Court!

Bush: 56%
Gore: 44%

That's a mandate, isn't it?

3. That's what you do after a coup d'etat

you consolidate power and terrorize the populace.

5. Yup, straight out of Bushevik Ed Luttwak's Coup Manual

which the Bunnypants* Gang clearly consulted before seizing Amerika in it's vampirous grip.

For some pretty excerpts from the Bushevik manual:

4. living in utah

and having orin whiner hatch for a representative brings this idiocy home for me. why don't they just put forth some decent judges for consideration. the whole thing is laughable. forgive my punctuation, cat on lap, can only type with one hand.

6. Having Orin Hatch as your senator

is almost as bad as having Bill Thomas as mine.

btw welcome to DU!
