GOP Squanders Public Mandate

The American Thinker has a good post - I couldn't agree more with the opening paragraph.

In November 2004, Americans gave the Republican Party and its leader, President George W. Bush, a resounding mandate to enact conservative policies in his second term. Two years later, when it was clear to these same voters how poorly the G.O.P. responded to this call to arms, the citizens took it back.

I remember vividly the Dems saying in '04 that there was no clear mandate, even with the Senate at 55-45 because the country was still so divided. Well, how times have changed. Now at 49-49-2 (even if you say 51-49), the Dems and media have already declared that this is an overwhelming mandate. And the GOP might go back to their spineless ways and agree.
