I actually agree with you, if Obama or any politician wins, no matter the margin, they should govern on the platform they ran on and his conscience dictates.
HOWEVER, Obama is not a king or dictator, we have three branches of government. Boehner and the Republican majority also won their elections.
So why is it that when Obama sticks to his principles because he won, he is "doing the right thing" and while Boehner sticks to his principles he is "stupid and irresponsible".
Already responded to your blue dog thread, you lost that one (again)
Do basically you are saying if someone wins the election for POTUS they should be able to do whatever they want. If you would the Constitution maybe you could understand why it does not work that way.
If you want to discuss politics, try understanding basic concepts like the branches of government and the balance of powers.
You know why you are a sad little man, because you have the worst fucking case of envy I have ever seen.
You have NO FUCKING INTEREST in solving this countries problems. You have a hard on for the rich because they have so much more than you do and all you can do is ask the government to take it from them since you are not man enough to go get some for yourself.
You remind me of my yard guy (actually I think you are my yard guy), who talks about how nice my neighborhood is, the view of the golf course, the size of my house. But then what, am I supposed to hand him my fucking keys ?!?!?!?! Anybody can have this, you just have to want it bad enough to go get it.
You can not tax, but literally SEIZE ALL THE ASSETS from the rich, take it ALL!! You run the country for about 4 months. Then what ?!?!?!?
Taxes are not shit, its the spending, the unfunded liabilities that have got to go. Greece has figured that out and the streets are now full of, lets call them, Looter Laffys, crying because others will not pay for their stuff.
And you don't think the rich will just leave, ask Britain (see article).
Like I have always said, you lost this argument before you ever started it. the top 5% have it and will keep it, the only question is, do I keep my yard guy (Laffy) or fire his ass.
The beauty of our system of government is it is HARD to get things done!! Any MORON should know this!!
The founders set up a system where it is difficult to make laws and changes because they realized "mob rule" was very undesirable. They knew that laws would be changing as fast as the weather and it would lead to mass confusion in the population and the market place.
So how do you govern, THEY WAY IT IS SET UP!!!
You keep saying there is a MANDATE to raise taxes on the rich. While I believe there is popular support for this, if it is a real mandate as you claim, why did the Republican maintain the majority in the house? Perhaps because the mandate you keep claiming really does not exist. DUH!!!!!
BTW, if you can't handle opposing view, take you weak ass to Democratic Underground and do a liberal circle jerk. This board is for people who want to actually debate their ideas.
