Some people act as if the election were like a sports championship where the team that may have only won by one point takes the trophy home and the other team goes home with nothing. Our representatives national and local are supposed to represent
all us us, not just those that voted for them
For all the "mandate" the president may claim it's silly for anyone to suggest that 49% of the country should be ignored when discussing issues and/or passing legislations that affect
all, and just as silly for anyone to think that
that many people should not be vocal.
I don't support the nit-picky biting that goes on in a segment of the Democratic party but you better hope like hell that's not where a viable candidate comes from and that the Republicans can get away with using the screwy unverifiable voting machines to steal 2008 and beyond because it won't be pretty
I think the prez & co. are losing their base primarily because of the total fuckup that is Iraq, but also because of the overall ass sideways priorities of this administration.
