The choice of candidates is what it is. If you don’t vote for the GOP nominee, you will be responsible for electing the current president-with-an-agenda, whether you accept that or not.

So, extending your logic, for example, if the DNC has Obama, and the GOP puts up a flaming Progressive, if I choose not to vote for either, because both of them support Abortion on demand, and the DNC candidate supports Gay Marriage, but the GOP candidate does not, and I choose to vote for the American Independent candidate who is a conservative straight down the line, I'm responsible for the Obama getting elected?

What alternate reality are you living in where logic, morality and responsiblity to your principles get so turned on it's head?

That ash heap will include this republic if the Kenyan get re-elected but you can be proud you sent a message.

[muir_redwoods]

And do youreally believe that any senate, however constituted in real terms would not find a way to affirm a Supreme Court nominee eventually? Do you want the Kenyan replacing Justice Kennedy? Really? Thatswhy the White House is important. Thought everyone knew that.

Never would discount the political importance of the White House, as I would never discount the importance of the Senate/House majorities. Point being; conservatives are wasting an enormous opportunity to concentrate on winning the Senate in favor of dithering over which of the incompetents with an R in front of their name would be less destructive in the White House.

Seems to me, Supreme Court nominations need to be approved - by which branch of Congress?

We either lead or we follow, and from what I am presently witnessing from conservatives at the moment, the majority seem to be dancing to the Democrat's drum. They must be absolutely giddy they are setting the agenda for conservatives.

[muir_redwoods]

The presidency is critical because the SC is critical. We are living on a 5/4 split between freedom and fascism and we are one case of pneumonia away from another Kenyan nominee, that’s why the presidency is all important. We’ve probably got big gains in the congress coming.

[ragamuffin]

Hummm, me thinks we are going in circles here. You and I are going to get stuck with whichever “candidate” the RNC, etc. sticks us with from the heard of R candidates. My point is stop squabbling about who, because they are all equally bad, and concentrate on the Senate. When the time comes to support the next J. McCain in the general, please feel free - but if we take the Senate - it will really make little difference who is in the White House. Appointments can be blocked all the while bring Holder/and the illegal and their enablers into account (again impeachment). I do not remember if Slippery Bill had a lot of time to continue his damage while Congress forced him to spend a lot of time defending himself.

My final point; I do not want the individual my fellow citizens forced on me out of office as much as I want him brought to justice. Also, Congress can, god willing, modify the terms of the Supreme Court - albeit with no little difficulty. Summation; concentrate on the Senate races!

[muir_redwoods]

Please cite the last time a seat on the supreme court went unfilled from one presidents administration to the next. Except for the rare occurrence when a vacancy arises at or very near the end of term, the president gets his choice; not always the first choice but he gets one of his choices. Anyone the Kenyan would nominate would be disastrous for the country.

No senate that is politically possible this time will deny the Kenyan forever. That's the issue, no circles involved. If you think this country will elect a stonewall senate in 2012, please put down the bong.

Your screen name marks you as a troll, but your post is mostly right on with regard to Romney.

He can not be the GOP nominee or else many of us will pick up and move to a 3rd party for the general election.

Many of us have sounded this warning about Romney time and again and I don't think the establishment believes us--yet.

[Antoninus]

You actually believe that Romney is 100% equal to the Boy King?

He's worse, actually. The GOP at least puts up resistance to Obama for political reasons if nothing else. With Romney as president, the establishment GOP will go along with socialism and push through even more big government "solutions".

Mark my words--if Romney is elected, ObamaCare will be set in stone forever and only the complete unraveling of the country will get rid of it.

Everybody is worried about Obama gettig another four years to complete the destruction of the U.S. as if electing any of the present slate of Republicans would make a difference. Some of them might take us down the primrose path a bit more slowly than Obama but it’s still the same path and the same destination. As a matter of fact it’s the same path we’ve been treading since... oh, since 1784.

I remember talking to a woman who voted for JFK. I asked her why she chose him: “Because of the way he combs his hair.” So all this talk about records and principles can be equated with a good barber. Kinda makes you wonder why John Edwards isn’t the Prez, doesn’t it?

It ain’t supposed to be a horse race. We’re not supposed to vote for the guy we’re told has the best chance to win. We’re supposed to vote for the candidate we think is best qualified to run the country. None of those attending the debates fit that description and we all know it. Still we let the media tell us which one is “most electable” or which one can beat Obama or carry the Southern states.

If we all voted for the person (not “candidate”) we thought was best fitted for the job we’d probably elect someone that hasn’t made a headline in months. We’d probably apply the heel of our hand to our own forehead and say something like ‘of course, why didn’t I think of him/her.’

Unless someone really good shows up soon I know who I’ll vote for and it won’t be Mittens. Besides, he’s no better than Obama... or Newt or Perry or Bachman or...

“Your screen name marks you as a troll, but your post is mostly right on with regard to Romney.”

I wasnt trying to start any fights, just trying to say what I think.

[ragamuffin]

....and a bong is what?

Ok, please go ahead and ignore the Senate and go back to wasting time debating which DNC candidate, Gingrich or Romney, will be your presidential candidate (no sir, that is not a misprint). I'm afraid’ my advice is lost on our internet empowered intellectuals.

Good luck in what you do.

Still no response to the SC issue? When you’ve been trumped, you can stop bluffing, to mix my card games.
