48. 51% isnt exactly a 'mandate'. it means that 49% of the voters dont agree with it.

people liek you should really consider that. Your whole post is the same thing as a right wing nutjob post. "we won so shove everything down their throat." Your ideas are better than theirs, but something this country NEEDS TO RELEARN is _compromise_ is how shit gets done. if you dont understand that ideal, then consider the stark reality of none of your items above will EVER pass with a republican controlled house. period.

but you know what, 'mandate' is a dumb thing anyway. it just is. Beside that, Bush 43 ruined it for everyone, forever. Everytime you scream "MANDATE!" all we see is Bush telling us that he had a "mandate" too.
