11. It's always different for the GOP

Exactly, the GOP never has a problem with claiming a mandate on their side. In 2004, after bush had already lied to us about WMDs and Iraq they had NO problem saying HE had a mandate. I love that not only has the GOP lost the presidential election, but now they are openly defending tax cuts for the rich while cutting health care funding and changing the medicare eligibility age. They can no longer claim that that their obsession with cutting taxes for the rich while harming the middle class is a stupid stereotype concocted by the liberal media, because now they themselves are going on t.v. defending that exact agenda. It gets better by the minute...
