A List of Liberal Lies and the Truth
George Bush was not elected by a majority of the American people
so he does not have a mandate for his agenda
This was the mantra of Tom Daschle the Senate Majority Leader after George
W. Bush won the 2000 presidential election. Daschle became the Senate
majority Leader when Senator Jim Jeffords switched from the Republican
Party to the Independent Party, thereby giving the Democrats a one person
majority in the Senate. Daschle became Senate Majority Leader not by vote
of the American people, but from a Senator switching parties. He used
his position to say George Bush did not have a mandate and then blocked
straight up or down votes in the Senate by requiring a super majority
of 60 votes to pass certain legislation. In effect, Daschle was trying
to impose his own agenda on the American people when they did not elect
him to do so. As we all know, in the 2002 congressional elections, Democrats
lost seats in the Senate and Daschle lost his lost his position as Senate
Majority Leader.
