The Wacko Public

A new WashPost/ABC News poll finds only 45 percent of those interviewed said they preferred that the country go in the direction that Bush wants to lead it. There's your "mandate" for you. Not that El Presidente gives a good goddamn.

Irrationally, also this: "But the public also wants cooperation from the Democrats. At a time when Democratic leaders are preparing to challenge many of Bush's major initiatives, nearly seven in 10 Americans agree that Bush's victory means that congressional Democrats should compromise with him -- even if it means compromising on their party's principles."

For which WE don't give a good goddamn.

Yeah, compromise our principles ... there's the recipe for a cake that won't rise.

Fewer than half the people want to go where El Presidente is leading us, but 70 percent want the Dems to go along peacefully. Is this country having a nervous breakdown, or what?
