Mandate Myth?
Parks is wrong. Winning an election IS a mandate. It was for Republicans over the past 12 years -- and they NEVER fully took advantage of their opportunities.
Now, the people have given Democrats a chance. That's STUPID -- and DANGEROUS, but had the Republicans kept their promises and held to their principles, a Democratic victory wouldn't have happened.
The Dems DO have a mandate -- that's what's SO frightening.
"Parks is wrong."
Thems fightin' words... :-P
My point is that this mandate is based on lies. Durbin just yesterday was mumbling now on whether it's okay to take the troops out now and what message that would send to our allies and enemy alike.
Wasn't this Democrat takeover all about getting the troops out sooner rather than later...?
