<p>In the world of politics, just because one is an elected official does not indicate that everything that comes out of their mouth is with the full support of the electorate. Two examples that immediately come to mind are the womens right to choose and stem cell research controversies. Polls show most Americans support both yet they elected a President that does not (based on other factors).
I still would like to hear the UW official response rather than bash them around for what their student government says. In the end, its the university that determines what gets built on that campus, not the students, and its the students who have the power to replace their leaders if they don’t agree with them. </p>
<p>Frankly, I am getting pretty sick of both the left and the right, and I suspect the rest of the country will be as well by 2008.</p>
