1. His only mandate was Guckert

The only place he ever had a mandate - or political capital - was in his mind. He lost the first election's popular vote and had to steal the electoral vote to even squeek his sorry ass into office. (Some say it was a coup. I am one of them.) If we simply accept the 04 results (we shouldn't) at face value, he got 51%.

Mandates are stong statements of support. A percentage like 60% might approach mandate territory ... but 51%? No fucking way.

The whole notion of 'mandate' and 'George Bush' being in the same sentence - or even the same paragraph - is just more right wing spew and lies. This fuckwad ****never**** had a lot of support. Even after 9/11 the support was NOT for him. It was for the country and the office ..... but not the 'man'.

George W. Bush is a fucking loser. Always was ..... always will be.

2. I think my favorite description of bush was

"MISERABLE FAILURE." Spoken eloquently by Congressman Gephardt. "Fucking loser" works great as well.

He, like limbaugh have been failures all their lives. The only thing successful limbaugh has done is hate other human beings.

Military deserter
corporate criminal
election fixer
drug abuser
(God knows what else we don't know about)

Now that's one helluva resume.

3. 'Zackly.

Even IF Bush got his votes legitimately (something I don't believe), his percentage of the vote was 51.2%. That means 48.8% of voters chose someone else. Difference: 2.4%. That's his "mandate."

And let's not forget that he lost the vote count in 2000 by a small fraction (probably by a larger fraction, but we may never know all the facts). So in four years his numbers barely budged, even with some *coughDieboldcough* help where they could get away with it. Not exactly a resounding endorsement of his first four years. Some "win."

So, I agree with you. Mandate, my ass. I'd love to know what the real 2004 numbers were, before the Diebolding. Hope my great-grandchildren find out.

4. I think they're a noisy minority.

In just about every poll that's been taken since he was first "elected", a manic 30-35% of respondents support him all the time. This is his base, and a good number of them are political consultants and lawyers!
