They got a very narrow majority, hardly at all, and only because they threw mud and pulled out poor, shakey, old Michael J. Fox and the fictitious embryonic stem cell cure fiction.

Last November, the democrats created their own mandate when they made campaign promises that they knew they wouldn't be able to keep. Obviously, that minor detail didn't slow them down any.

Hadn't stopped the Republicans from pulling out Osama and the 'fear' card in the last three elections, did it?
The GOP never had a 'mandate'.
(Well, maybe they DID when Mark Foley was in Congress...)
They just had their corruption, cronyism, and obsessive power trips.
Which is pretty much what the Republicans now stand for, huh?

Would that be anything like the mandate Bush The Lesser claimed when he "won" the 2004 election by 1% ?
Or the one he claimed after the Supreme Court appointed him "president" after he lost the 2000 election?

While both parties of the bloated, corrupt Duopoly ruling the United States are guilty of blatant violations of international law and crimes against humanity throughout history, the current administration has operated more brazenly and with more impunity. Kennedy had Cuba . Johnson and Nixon shared the culpability for the deaths of over 3 million in Vietnam . Reagan bloodied his hands in Nicaragua . Clinton 's bombing campaign killed thousands of innocents in Kosovo. Yet somehow, these presidents managed to maintain the United States' image of an aloof and perhaps even benevolent super-power. America 's current administration has not maintained this facade nearly as well, and has led the United States down a path entailing a much more blatant disregard and disrespect for international law and the rights of other nations. There are numerous historical examples of the immoral, illegal, and repulsive US imperial dominance of other nations achieved through a variety of means, perhaps the most inclusive, perpetual, instructive, and relevant example is that of Iraq . Recognizing a nation rife with political instabilities and virtually incalculable riches through its oil reserves, the US Plutocracy has been targeting Iraq for years. Bush II finally bagged it, but got more than he bargained for in the process.

Actually, they are doing quite well. They created a situation for Bush that he will have no alternative but to pull out of Iraq. If he vetos the bill, he won't get funding. He's now caught between a rock and a hard place. We don't need a majority if we get things done as promised.

I have heard no one talk mandate. I have heard voice of the people. But not a mandate.
