And we can go back to the Bork conformation hearings.

Bork did not have the temperament to be a SCOTUS justice. Also his views on a range of issues were well outside the mainstream. His willing actions in the Saturday Night Massacre proved that. Always keep in mind that 6 Republican senators voted against his nomination. He simply wasn't a good nominee and his anger over being questioned on his writings and public statements only confirmed that.

Who will win.. or even run.. is still up in the air. I see those types of polls as the parties taking the temperature of their constituents at this point. If Christie doesnt win NJ, how will that affect his polls for Presidental run? Too many variables up in the air. I posted that poll based upon Butch's assertion that Jingal will draw many moderates from both parties. I dont see that happening unless conditions change. If Clinton runs, I dont see that happening at all.

Something interesting to note on the Dem side in that poll as well...

Between March and June....

Clinton 51% 40%
Biden 12% 13%

No one else is even close to those two... and we dont even know if Clinton is running yet.

Chris Christie and Rand Paul are the only creditable mentions on that list.

Clinton isn't the WMD that Democrats think she is. A black President is one thing - a woman is quite another. And I doubt American men will be content with a woman as President.

I'll agree with you on Christie but Paul is a bit out there.
The problem with Christie is he touched a Democrat and liked it once so now he has cooties and, even though I think he'd do a hell of a job, he'll be destroyed by his own party for lack of 'idealogical purity'.

Hillary (or anyone else the D side puts up) doesn't have to be good. They just have to be less odious than whatever Bible thumping batshit crazy nutbag the R side is sure to throw at them.

How does any of that make this thread about "the Republicans have to become Democrats or they are doomed. "?


I accept that this was not your premise but read the thread.
The Republicans have to go along with the Dems to survive.
I did not mean they had to flip but the consensus here is that they must become the same as Democrats because all Republicans are stupid and evil.
Again this is not intended as a reflection of your intent.

Funny how the term emerged that other were 'Borked' after the Bork hearings but I find that Bork...'Borked' himself when he said, "Well the 10th amendment is about the most dead-letter amendment there is." Spoken like a true fascist in-the-making.

My next question would have been well judge at what point do you see any other constitutional amendments becoming...'dead-letter' amendments ?

What say you judge ? The 1st or how about the 5th ? Oh and lets not forget that pesky little 4th amend. When can we bring back the slaves judge ?

I get the impression that you must feel as if the repubs must oppose everything dem or they are thinking like or acting like a dem when in fact they are trying to be TeaParty. Unfortunately, far too many repubs are stupid and while I won't say evil, they seem to have quite an imagination when it comes to political/economy and it usually favors the corporation and the rich which is exactly backwards.

Recall if you will, for 6 years when the repubs had the WH and both 'houses' in congress, they often wouldn't even allow dems to attend subcommittee hearings, often allowed no dem amendments at all and then all but told the dems to go home.

Here I have to interject and say while I am not necessarily a Biden fan, it gets pretty easy to be good enough when compared to W.

Historically it has been suggested and for reasons with which I agree...W was the worst president since WWI and maybe the worst or 2nd worst all time and by almost every measure.
