All about Mandates

[GrassrootsConservative]

What? The mural that the kids at the schhol drew that was visible for all of 45 minutes, before it was covered? yeah, I can. Are you honestly suggesting that Obama got all of the votes necessary to win from that one poliing place in 45 minutes ?!?!

Please. That is just sour grapes at their worst.

Also, moron, I didn't say it was that ONE POLLING PLACE. You didn't read my post. There were 4 or 5 STATES that had this shit going on. Here's one from Florida:

Here's one from New Jersey

O.K.? You done acting like he didn't cheat? You done sticking words in my mouth?

Even if it was 1 polling place, that's still cheating. It's not like even if there wasn't a difference in the election and he would have won anyway... it's the principal of the thing. He cheated. He shouldn't have cheated. He should be a man and give up the White House.

It's the right thing to do.
You're ignorant if you choose to be oblivious to the facts I am giving you.
Have you no integrity?

Blah, blah, blah...Obama cheated!!!

Guess what? We all saw this coming! The Republicans spent the lest year-and-a-half trying their damnedest to suppress the vote, and when that failed, Obama won. so, instead of admitting that America just didn't buy the message the Republican snake-oil salesman was selling, they want to talk about "cheating", and "free stuff", and "secession"!

Okay...y'all ignore the results in this election. Encourage your Republican representatives to spend the next two years doing what they spent the last four doing. Then, see what that buys you in 2014. I am personally done giving a single fuck what Republican's think, because they are obviously never gong to accept any "reality" that doesn't come from the FOX/Limbaugh/Beck consortium.

So, guess what? I'll see you fuckers in 2014 in the polls! It's gonna be a fucking blast!

Newspeak:

"Suppress the vote" = ask the voter for the same basic ID he'd have to use to rent a DVD or vote in Mexico.

I thought you were going to be talking about the mandates such as me being required to buy health insurance from people paying off the liberals.

It could be argued either way, that he did NOT have a complete mandate, but then he did on popular vote.

The issue will be whether he chooses to govern as though he has; the arrogance of the past has served him well enough in the polls but has stalled the country.

To move forward, though, someone is going to have to blink..

Does everyone remember, back in 2004, when Bush beat Kerry, and it was a "clear mandate" to continue the Bush policies? Well, I find it interesting that Obama's victory was clearly not a mandate from the people.

So, lets recap, shall we? Kerry won more of the popular vote, and more of the electoral vote than Romney, but Bush's victory was a "clear mandate", while Obama's victory was "clearly not a mandate".


Ummmm...can anyone else smell the bullshit here?


Guess what, Republicans? Obama, and the Democrats won a clear mandate from the American People that they are tired of Republicans kissing the ass of the 1%, and expect Obama to do something about that, while sending an equally clear message to the Republicans: "Keep sitting on your asses, doing nothing, and see what happens in 2014!"


So, y'all might wanna think about that.

If you want to argue then take it up with two thirds of the nation's media outlets [you know them as the pro-Obama press] since they are the ones agreeing that clearly Obama does not have a mandate.

So why doesn't he have one? Obama lost ten million supporters from 2008 to 2012. Romney had only 3 million fewer supporters than did John McCain. Conclusion? Romney just didn't quite do it for a segment of Republicans but as for Obama . . . he really, really did not do it for a positively huge segment of Democrats. So no across the board mandate for Obama.

But cheer up because he did win a one time only issue specific mandate with his re-election win. He gets to raise taxes on people making 250,000 per year and above . . . because enough people do like that idea. So some mandate is better than no mandate at all for a lame duck president, yes?

Finest kind!

Well from what we can tell to date House of Representative majority leader John Boehner is blinking like a burglar stunned by a flashbang at midnight. So most likely Obama will eventually get his tax increase of the well to do in this nation . . . which, of course, will solve no problems whatsoever. But Obama no longer has the necessary political capital to ram anything else down the throat of the Republican Party. On the other hand there is the rapidly approaching Fiscal Cliff . . . and that should prove very interesting indeed. Blink, blink, blink.

No...but that was one instance, and as for covering it; 3 8x11 inch pieces of paper don't exactly cover 20 plus feet of mural. Anyway, that was simply one...then there is the Soros software company who did the counting...you are going to tell me Soros hasn't had Obama in his pocket for a decade? You can't because that would be a lie. Now as for software anyone can write a hack then have the hack removed later, but when to hit Romneys name you had to hit exactly on it...exactly, or else it went to Obama. That is another example...then there missing registrations, and military members not getting their votes, and Lord, the list is endless. Now I give the Obama Machine credit for being very, very sneaky.
