LOL, so you would see another Lib in office there in NJ, watch the budget go into deficit again, see your taxes once more go up each year and that would somehow get rid of this black gay judge Christie nominated?

I would actually like to see an [R] act like an [R]. Just because Christie is the Gov of NJ does not mean he has to nominate candidates like this. The voters did not put him in office for this reason, there is no need whatsoever for him to do this. What you are implying is that an [R] elected to state-wide or national office from a [D]-leaning state must act like a [D] when making supreme court picks? Nonsense.

I agree it would be "nonsense". But politics is a pretty crappy game and the #1 job appears to be survival. This is why as much as we would love Scott Brown to be a super Conservative along the lines of say a Reagan, the pure fact is in that State he would never get elected if he were. A politician must "mold" his credentials to fit those of the constituency by whom he wants to be elected. Does this mean he compromises his beliefs occasionally? It sure does and that is reality. The bottom line is you cannot affect a change unless you first get yourself into a position where that is possible. Yeah, it sucks but it is nonetheless reality.
