Okay,

Something we’ve all been hearing about is the broad victory by president bush! A clear mandate! Most votes ever!

Hogwash! I say.

Okay, the last one is true, he did get the most votes ever in a presidential election.

Do you know who got the second most votes in american history? John Kerry.

It was the closest win for an incumbent president since woodrow wilson.

So when you hear people talking about this as if there was a massive landslide victory, be sure to get up and deliver a verbal smackdown to the tune of: “51% is hardly a mandate!”

Nearly half of us don’t agree with:

• Lying to the American people about the reasons for going to Iraq.
• Destroying the environment in the name of oil and gas exploration.
• Recklessly cutting taxes while we are in the depths of an enormous debt.

I could go on, there are many more reasons, but it is clear that many people don’t care about these things, and don’t care what I have to say about it.

But, thanks for passing the buck to my unborn children! That’ll be really fun for them.
