Amen, Kos! I'm glad someone said it.
No. Overreach happens when you assume that the opinions of the people that didn't vote for you don't count, just because they are the minority.
"Mandate" is a dirty word, no matter who is using it. Unless your support was unanimous, you don't have one.
Did you see this:

"The question of allowing - or banning - gay marriage or authorizing civil unions also will take a backseat as lawmakers try to come up with legislation that can clear both houses, leaders said."
WHAT THE FUCK? Clear both houses? THE DEMS HAVE SUPER-MAJORITIES IN BOTH AND THE GOV'S OFFICE.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
What the hell is wrong with them?
Unfortunately, not all Dems think alike or represent safe districts. Ergo, not all Democratic legislation can easily pass the legislature.
Safe districts?
That means that it's more important for them to keep their own jobs than to do the right thing. It's such a pathetic cop out. And that's sure as hell not how most Rethuglicans operate.
I'm so sick of donating money and voting for do-nothing-Dems who jump at their own shadows and are too afraid to stand up for, or just don't give a damn about equal rights.
The fact that we can't get marriage or civil unions passed in Washington, the bluest of the blue states, is truly pathetic and symptomatic of a leadership vacuum.
