Post #182,859 by lincoln 11/4/04 4:32:02 PM Reply	Unfortunately This morning I heard an announcer on a conservative radio station actually throwing around the word "mandate" more than once. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people who have the same sentiments in the Repo party. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

Me: Mandate. larf Them: But, this is the highest number of people who have ever voted for a President! Me: Not percentage wise, it isn't. Them: But, he won over 50% of the vote! First time since 1988! Me: Uh, all that reflects is the fact that no one was willing to vote for a 3rd party candidate. There weren't any Naders or Perots that could siphon off enough votes to drop everyone below 50%. Them: It's still a mandate! Me: Dude, he barely beat a liberal senator from Massachusetts, and half the country can't stand him. Them: 4 more years! 4 more years! sigh Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
