re: #27 Political Atheist

Well “a” mandate vs “the” mandate is what I’m thinking. Rephrasing-A mandate in and of itself is indy, not left or right. The heritage mandate I’m not terribly familiar with. The mandate we sorta have now is a centrist compromise.

The mandate we have now is actually weaker than what Heritage proposed. I’m not sure how you can describe it as ‘centrist’, unless you’re talking about the ‘center’ between today’s batshit insane GOP and the centrist Democrats.
