Ugh, John Roberts on CBS just used the word "mandate"

[Tsiyu]

Saying that Bush sees this election as a clear mandate of the people and will aggressively pursue his agenda.

Not that I didn't expect this, but so much for coming together to unite the country.

[Sandpiper]

1. Bush ruled us like a king

When he lost the popular vote.

I don't see anything changing this time around.

[BJ]

2. Miss Liberty, set down on the floor, tuck you head between your...

...legs, and kiss your sweet country's ass good bye.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. 3 points is not a "clear mandate".

It's a mandate, but the Country is still divided.

[KingChicken]

4. Yes, the right-wingnuts will think its a sign

That's the worst part.

[XanaDUer]

5. Go for it George.

I mean that. You got the green light, and I say go for it.

[AngryOldDem]

6. Exactly

Bush has no intention of working with Kerry, or anybody else. And yes, like it or not, he does have a mandate. It's come straight from above, dontcha know? If you doubt me, ask the first fundamentalist Christian you meet. They'll tell you that this was ordained to happen.

7. This will be different from first term how?

[Az_lefty]

8. The Fascists control all aspects of our gummit...

Boy George can do as he pleases. I say "Go Get'em George!" fuck it up royally, the idiots that voted for you deserve no less.

[Canuckistanian]

9. Rush Limpballs has a "take no prisoners" attitude

I just heard him say, "Reach out to Democrats? Why? Bush tried that already and look what happened!"

This is going to be a scorched-earth, Pyhrric victory for the hard right. Expect no quarter, for none will be given. This is going to be their perceived pay-back time.

God help us all.

[Pathwalker]

10. Hell, Tweety & Isakoff just said "Let Cheny Loose!"

It's back on the weather channel now!

[Jack Rabbit]

11. Let's not shoot the messenger

If Roberts said "Bush has a mandate" he would be editorializing. That would be wrong.

However, if he says that Bush sees this as a mandate, he is reporting what Bush is syaing. That is okay.

Bush is wrong.

[Emboldened Chimp]

12. he's right, Bush does see it as a mandate...

and he will push his agenda aggressively. We're in for a long four years.

13. AWOLBUSH has no mandate

the country is as divided as ever..

I don't support AWOLbush and never will..

I won't support Hillary either..
