Wow, that's a tall order! It might be easier to convince the country that Charlie Manson is a kind and caring human being.
An Obama presidency, our republic can survive. In fact, it would probably result in Repubicans having a lock on the White House for the next 40 years. This is because Obama will quickly show that he cannot govern and his administration will become the laughingstock of the world. The Clintons on the other hand have been around the block a few times and like Stalin and Hitler before them, they will start by destroying all their enemies. And Obama has done them the favor of exposing just who their enemies are.
Fortunately we might not even have to suffer through an Obama presidency as McCain is increasingly starting to look like he might have this election in hand.

Clinton's, Ob himself, & John McC & GOP candidates...
RTL = #31, #32
I was and still am in full support of Operation Chaos. I was not debating the why of it, or its effectiveness. I understand it completely. My point was: that a bi-product of that, and the resulting ousting of Hillary still left her with a strong base of supporters who will only be satisfied if she is given an important role to play. As well as Hillary, herself...who might have felt pressure to acquiesce in exchange for some promise of a more lasting position in the future. That possibility of being a Justice would be very appealing, I am sure...and that possibility is, to me, more damaging to our country because of the longevity factor.
It is not that I think Operation Chaos should not have been done, and for - in part - the reason you stated. I am glad it has turned the Democrats upon themselves as planned. But, it does not take away the very real possibility that Hillary's political power might now have ended up being strengthened if she is appointed to the SCOTUS. That is why I said "more of a monster," because, in the long run, given her political ideologies, her decisions could have more have lasting effects.
Four or eight years of another Clinton would have been bad enough. But having 15-20 or so years of one of the most liberal minded Justices (as I am sure she would be) with responsibilities that allow her to influence the implementation of liberal decisions that control or change the laws of our country to suit the liberal agenda is much worse.
What qualifications does she have to be a justice on the SCOTUS? If Clarence Thomas was under-qualified then Hillary is vastly under-qualified.
However, if the GOP is not successful in defeating Obama (and if Hillary does not have a coup planned to grab the nomination that works to her advantage) a scenerio of Clinton appointed as the next SC Justice is more frightening to me and, I feel, more advantageous to the liberal agenda in the long run.
Thanks for the ping!
Oh, how I agree so completely. However, one can never underestimate the powers of a Clinton, and the offers that the Dems. might have had to make to her so she would step aside for Obama. Given the balance of Dems. and Republicans in Congress...I am sure her "lack of experience" would be an issue that the majority of them would overlook (or have agreed to overlook) and then they end up with Obama as President and Hillary in the SC. It could be a scheme they can pull off - because just how many Democrats would object to such an appointment of Hillary if it had been part and parcel of an agreement to get her out of the way this election?
I don’t think any deals were made to get her to step aside. She simply realized that her negatives, with Dems, would soar if she continued on at that point. As for Congress overlooking her lack of qualifications to be a SCOTUS justice? I don’t think even most Dems would want to set a precedent of approving someone who lacked the credentials to preside over traffic court.
Well, we agree and yet, disagree. This is what I love about the FR. A chance to discuss aspects of issues without arguments. However, the Dems have proven they are approving someone lacking credentials for the most important role - POTUS. They have swung their support to Obama, probably the least qualified Senator/Congressman/politician ever with the least experience, and the least capabilities to ever be running for that office. So what the Dems might or might not do never surprises me anymore. They make the rules as they go...just like during the primaries.
