Nah the reality is the Constitution provides for elections and the Democrats won. We will have elections again and if the Republicans don't get their brand back on the shelves, things could repeat. Maybe Obama ignoring voters could do for the Democrats what Bush did for the Republicans. Elections have consequences.

If the Republican party is where our hopes lie, it IS over. THEY think the Constitution is a “living, breathing document” too.

You seriously think the republic can stand under 3 more years under the treasonous leadership of the democrats? I don’t and those elections you mention won’t matter. By then obamacare will be reality and the Supreme court will be re-packed with ultra-liberal activist judges.

It’s pitchfork time, but the American people don’t have the stomach for it. And finally, the Repulbicans don’t even know what their brand is anymore, let alone what to do with it.

I do not share your sanguine, insouciant attitude. I do not see this as the give-and-take of an orderly constitutional republic.

We passed many milestones over the past seventy years that indicated that we were becoming ever more like the decadent empire that the Founders deplored. In fact, it started around the time that the image of Columbia, or Liberty, was removed from our coinage and replaced with dead Presidents, as if they were laurelled emperors of a bygone golden age. The virtue of a republican polity still exists in pockets, but powers an principalities are everywhere victorious. I see no worthy alternative to a reboot.
