That statement is true. In a pure democracy the will of the people is a simple majority. The President won the simple majority by a significant amount, approximately 3.5 million more endorsements than Sen. Kerry. Also the President won the simple majority of States by a significant margin.

The will of the People in a republic is represented through the amount of electoral votes (votes weighted by population size) garnered through the election process. President Bush won the electoral vote by a significant margin too.

Therefore, anyway you define it President Bush has the will of the people.

Pure Bushies speak.

The intent of 15 million votes can not be ignored.
But he will ignore them, and we all will bare the burden of his poor judgement. I can only hope that I am wrong..

I didn't have a problem with Regan, I voted for him twice,
but we got a 3% spread here and I am very concerned that this president does not understand that, nor does he care.

To be frank, he doesn't really have to be very concerned with the 48%. He not only won decisively, he increased both Houses of Congress on his coattails substantially.

The good news is he should be able to accomplish just about anything he wants to accomplish. No excuses for the President, lets see how he does.

And if Kerry won you are convinced that he would bend over backwards for the the other 48% even though on many issues the sides are polar opposites? How exactly does that work? I think that maybe you would be less concerned about that other 48% if your guy takes care of the reasons that you voted for him. I know the reasons I voted for Bush and I expect him not to cave in to the other side on many issues---of course there are also many issues that I hope both sides can come to agreement on.

I actually see think you'll see him move to the center a bit for a second-term. Not that it will matter -- we never really get to talk about what Bush actually does right or wrong because most of the other side thinks he does EVERYTHING wrong (extremely wrong) no matter what it is. There needs to be some intelletual honest to the criticism if you want some honest debate, but there is very very little...

Schweitz:

Good question, to Formula, about how polar opposites could be reconciled. The answer is, as you know, they can’t.

Formula is concerned with the new spin put out by the left, regarding Bush’s illegitimate Presidency. The Democrats are looking to milk the illegitimacy presidency angle. This illegitimate presidency rationale allows them to continue to make negative attacks on the President and justifies the Democrats penchant for uncooperative behavior. Liberal Democrats believe President Bush did not in 2000 represent the will of the people and now in 2004 he does not represent the will of the people, because people voted for Sen. Kerry.

After the 2000 election the Liberal Elite squawked about the popular vote. Their mantra was and still is Bush’s presidency is illegitimate, because, in 2000, Gore won the popular vote so President Bush really did not represent mainstream America.

To the Liberal Elite’s dismay Bush’s presidency has been validated and legitimized by his strong showing in the popular vote, state by state vote and the electoral vote, in this election. As a result their new spin is, Bush’s presidency is illegitimate, because Kerry received votes too and therefore Bush does not represent mainstream America.

What should concern the Liberal Elite is President Bush won a decisive, not a divisive, victory, notwithstanding the Liberal Elite’s belief that they are more in-tune with mainstream America than President Bush 4 years after the 2000 election and that they, the Liberal Elite, cannot understand why the 2004 election was a blood bath for them.

Hint: All Liberal Elite policy makers should read the open letter in another post on this forum and look at the election map, especially the South and the “Fly-over” states.

Btw, Formula what is a Bushie? Is it someone that correctly defines the will of the people?

And yes SoCal Arizona is much warmer than Chicago now!!

I most certainly would hope not.

But at least they ( the 48%) would have a voice because Kerry is
negotiable. I dont think Bush has that capacity. He (bush) is the one to fear.

I do not see him letting up on the Iraq/terror issue, but I think he'll be looking to achieve broad consensus on domestic policy. I think he actually does care about the divisiveness and will be looking to do something about it. However, chances are he will again be demonized no matter what he does, and with Supreme Court appointments likely coming up I'm sure he'll take heat for whoever he chooses. Hopefully, the moderate left will see that they've let the radical element take over their party and will take ahold of it again. I agree with Tom that we need viable alternatives on both sides -- any party that gets too entrenched can only be bad in the long-run...

The problem is that 9/11 confounded a lot of the popular wisdom in liberal circles...and people have not yet come to grips with the reality of that day and days since.

There were serious problems before 9/11 to be sure...this has been a long time coming....but 9/11 has torn the democratic party to pieces, even though a lot of them don't realize it.

Many many liberals want to beleive 9/11 happened because they weren't more liberal, because they didn't yell louder, because there were too many Republicans getting in the way....it is absolutely too ugly to consider that it may have happened because they got too much of what they wanted. That their own plans may have unwittingly helped this along. That is much much too ugly to think about. These are good people, good Americans, they can't bear to think that of themselves...so they've projected all that guilt and fear outwards onto one man and onto one party...no matter how illogical it might be.

They will come to grips with it at some point, I hope.

Your right though. we don't have to stop or rock back on our heels to make decisions. we have vision and clarity. We are guided by morality and a sense of right and wrong.

The next time you watch a race and the lead horses get slower in the lane ( or rocked back on their heels by fatigue) and you see another horse duck through a tight spot on the rail, or split a couple of failures on the way to a victory, remember that horse that is "pushing its way to the front" is known as The Leader

He does not have the will of the people in New England, and Mid Atlantic States, the Great Lakes states except for Ohio and Indiana, nor does he have the will of the people in the West Coast States.

In the places most affected by terrorism Bush probably has the least support. Kerry had 75% of the New York City vote, and the DC vote and Northern VA vote which was where terrorism struck on 911. Add in New Jersey which had the 2nd highest casualties and went for Kerry, and you realize that those most affected by 911 chose to go a different way than Bush.

He may care about the "divisiveness", but your're right: He's going to be domonized by the Left no matter what he does.

Moreover, he has plenty to gain by playing to his base. Plenty! It was his base that got him elected! Don't forget: There was a record turnout -- a turnout the Dems kept insisting would work in their favor. But it didn't. It worked in Bush's.

You forgot "disounting", didn't you?

Bush has very, very little to gain now by pandering to the Left, and, therefore, discounting all the reasons for his strong base support.

Moreover, you have to understand what the Left means when they say that Bush "must now reach out" or that he "must try to find middle ground" (i.e. comprimise). The Left is in denial and can't accept the fact that the public rejected its candidate, rejected its platform and rejected its values not only by reelecting Bush but by padding control in both Houses. What the Left wants Bush to do is reach out to them, but believe me when I tell you that the Left is not at all concerned about reciprocating by reaching out to Bush.

Do you believe for a moment that if Kerry had won the election that the Dems wouldn't be claiming a mandate from the citizens? Isn't it the Left who touts all the advantages to a pure democracy? Of all the virtues of majority rule? Funny how they want to ignore the majority when the majority rejects Liberalsim.

I was happy to hear Bush say in yesterday's press conference that he has earned "capital" from the election, and he fully intends to spend it! And you know what? That capital didn't come from the Left!

To a degree Chickenhead may be right in that the Democratic
party has a tendency to nominate leaders who are unelectable
such as Kerry and Dukakis(?). It seems that what we call in
Canada large L liberals, take control of the party and steer a
course that is far too liberal to be palatable to the majority of
the country. In every political party different wings may be in
ascendancy at different times. It appears that the northeast
liberals and their acolytes (the media and intellectual elite) moved
the party to positions that the majority of americans rejected.
Specifically their position on the war, on the role of U.N., the
need to act in concert with other nations as opposed to
unilaterally, and of course differing views of morality. There are
ebbs and flows in alll parties and by 2008 the centrist wing of
the Democratic party might be in ascendancy with a much
different message and tone. Today, George Bush, his
convictions and beliefs, best mirror the wishes of the majority of
americans and whether the rest of the world likes it or not, he
will continue to act on his vision.

What really ticks me is that some media pundits talk about how President Bush is supposed to "reach out"to the Democrats to somehow unify the country.Well pundits,it's wake up time.Bush has successfully reached out to a majority of this nation.John Kerry's (and in addition,the Democrat Party)ideas were straight up rejected.It's the Dems(the leadership of the Party) who need some serious introspection in relation to what they stand and/or what they think they stand for and do the reaching out.

Sad news, but people have problems sometimes. It isn't going to change anything, and it sure doesn't mean the guy who killed himself's opinion about the election was the one the nation should have supported. I suppose if he no longer wished to live among us, that's his perogative, sad as it is. Or he may have become so depressed he lost his better judgement, in which case it wasn't his perogative, but something that can overcome a person if they aren't careful.

Maybe there would be a few people commiting suicide no matter who won this election. (Maybe every election, just not this dramatic). I know I was really depressed that it would go the other way. Nothing tragic like what overwhelmed this poor fellow, but enough to leave me mentally and physically exausted all this week - even given the results I had looked for.

Sec, I can tell you're quite depressed, and obviously Joe is too. And Sec, I know you're going through some tough family times. Just be careful, OK guys. There's still a lot good things to do and enjoy in life here in the U.S.A no matter who the is our leader. We've got some races to pick and win, handicapping challenges to solve, personal challenges to face and overcome, etc. We can disagree a lot on politics, but hopefully we can keep all our racing friendships intact.

If you need to see a doctor, it can be a very good thing - for me, it was among the very best things I ever did - worth paying for out of my own pocket after my insurance expired. I myself have struggled with periods of clinical depression throughout my life, but didn't understand what it was until the late 90's when it hit me really hard and I got the help I needed. If I'm off base, and you guys are doing alright, then I'm glad - hopefully what I've said can help someone else, if not now, sometime down the road.

Since this threat has become active again, thought I'd share a pertinent post from SQ764 in another thread regarding the man who commited suicide at Ground Zero. Seems he wasn't necessarily upset about the election results, according to the news story (see link)



He was a wackjob..
I think this explains:

1) If you read the letter he wrote, I think there's no doubt he was a wacko..

2) He killed himself over a woman, not the election

Oh, now we have a "humanity" factor to consider.

Excuse me, I thought this was a (Republican) democracy.

But if you really want to inject humanity into it: Isn't Bush the one

What are we if we dont have humanity to consider? (no response required). Just think about it.

formula, think you need to think about it. Bush and the people who voted for him stand with humanity in not blving in abortion and in believing we should protect this country against terrorists and in blving people want to be free so as a nice by-product of fighting terrorism we have freed 2 countries.

Everyone believes the country should be protected.. even those that didn't vote for bush.

Abortion has already been clarified by the supreme court, so that should not be an issue.

You can teach others our understanding of what freedom means to us with having to kill them to live it.

The Surreme Court is the "Arbiter of the Law". They don't make law they interpet the law. More specifically, they interpert the Constitution. I'm going back about 30 years since my last law class, but I think I have that right. Check it out for your self.

I don't think so.

I would be concerned that he won by such a small margin, but hopeful that he would best represent our spirit.

With bush's win, I'm fearful of the unworthy burdens he will place upon us. These unworthy burdens will give a dem or a centrist republican the best hopes for the presidency.

It appears that Rowe Vs Wade will finally be overturned now that the Pro-Life Movement will have the support of the Famous Breeders Association (FBA).

MTV insiders are telling friends that initial FBA funding will come from Howard Stern, Puff Daddy, Eminem, Kobe Bryant, Ray Lewis, Derek Jeter, and other famous entertainers/athletes.

Plans call for the FBA to enlist chick magnets from the ranks of entertainers and athletes. On its web site, MTV is expected to feature a Procreation Guide that will track the travel and appearance schedules for FBA entertainers and athletes.

Get real already! The way things are [b]supposed to be and the way they often actually play out are two entirely different things. Were you issued a visa before you left your planet, or are you another illegal alien -- more clueless than the Man in the Moon?

P.S. Since you don't believe that liberal activist judges routinely legislate from the bench, I have a beautiful piece of real estate in the Everglades to sell you.

I'll let the Bush supporters straighten out one of their own.

I'll give them that much credit.
