Trouble is, they forget they could be sent "HOME" just as easdily....
Djou of Hawaii, R,....got voted into the US HOUSE....in special election...voted with GOPers....
Lost to Hanabusa, D, by 19 points

Arrogance is a trait for the Bully Crowd...

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. |

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.

The combo of the end of the last Congressional session and Tucson has pretty much deflated their little party balloon.

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.

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.

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.
