Governor Walker is not the only Republican misreading his "mandate".
   
Of course, any time Republicans win an election, they consider it a mandate.

Governor Walker of Wisconsin is just the latest egregious example. But the Republicans in Washington are over-reaching also. They are acting just like Governor Walker.

It's all about "spending", they say, as they continue to heap huge taxbreaks upon the wealthy. Not only are they threatening our present form of government, they are threatening the very idea of government. They are radicals in the truest sense of the word.

They are dangerous and effective because they are united at the state levels, witness Walker, Daniels, Kasich, Scott, and others. The people must stand against these folks that would destroy everything we have worked for in the last century. We would like to have the Democratic Party establishment behind us but there is no guarantee they will be there. We are on our own.

These ****s just don't get it. Talk about over reaching? Can you say health care bill dick face? Hold on a second. Mandate? Every time you win everybody wants freebies and socialism and all is well. When we win people are stupid and don't know what's good for them. Which one is it asshole?

It's this one, all the time, because those who agree with them have "seen the light" (healing white type, one each) and have come to agreement with those ever-so-wise and reality-based thinkers at the DUmp.

Didn't Obama start it with "we won"? and telling Republicans to get to the "back of the bus"?

[docstew]

Not so much "we won" as "I won".  Small word, huge difference

Exactly.  When Democrats win, they call it a mandate.  When Republicans win, it's just voter anger & temper tantrums.

And the fact that all the "electronic voting machines" were hacked.  Of course, they never mention that when Democrats  "win".

It just means we were denied access by the genius that is the DUmp!

Well, as time goes on--we're on the downhill slope now, the Big Zero's term in office being more than half done--it's become painfully obvious that the Big Zero misread his mandate of 2008.
