But Harry, I thought you had an overwhelming mandate from the people.
I think they've overplayed that mantra for a number of reasons. First, the nearly 50% that did not vote for them say "what the heck are you talking about?". Second, a good number of people that did vote for them say "this is not what I voted for". Third, those moon bats that did vote for them based on their antiwar stance are more than a little peeved that the troops are still in Iraq and that the Democrats, despite having the majority, are so powerless. The combination of these three (albeit oversimplified) categories explains why the rats and Congress in general have approval ratings in the 20s....
