MANDATES CHANGE AFTER THE VOTE IS TALLIED AS DO POLITICAL PRIORITIES

Gov Scott Walker

Speaker John Boehner repeatedly says,'The American people gave a mandate when they voted us in, last November.'  He thinks that a mandate to a politician is a static plea and does not change with time or circumstances. 

Wrong!

Governor Walker has only been in office a couple of months and already polls show that half the people in Wisconsin, had they to do it over (many Republicans included) would vote this time for the Democrat candidate. 

Boehner might do well to focus less on maintaining a tan, or playing golf.  He might check what his constituents are wanting and saying today.  Those who came to Washington to reverse Roe vs Wade will be a great disappointment to the people who thought the change they would be bringing to Washington would be about getting jobs for the unemployed and helping the middle class.  The wealthy, Wall St thieves, big corporation greed, and lying lobbyists, may soon find out that people can only be pushed so far.  When the snake oil for which  they paid to cure their ills clearly does not work and they realize they were lied to, eventually they will realize they are not alone and the power is in numbers.  Peaceful protests, right now, seem to be quite effective.  Let's support the peace.
