I described the "what", you're explaining the "why".Look at the behavior of the GOP over the last eight years:
The public sees this. They don't see the Democrats doing this. It's not difficult to characterize that behavior as obstructionist.
- Activists shoving absolutist "pledges" in the face of their candidates, threatening to "primary" anyone who didn't sign them
- Attacking any Republican who showed any moderation as a RINO
- Loudly declaring any hint of cooperation with Democrats as unacceptable
- Screaming "socialism" and/or "communism" at any number of existing government programs, wanting to shut down any number of departments
- Voting as a bloc against virtually any Democrat initiative
.
There has never been activist before, in either party,? really? I never realize that. Seems to me I remember a very successful contract with America not so many years ago. You and me bitch about what they are doing in WH, we do it everyday. Yet when people want to hold their officials accountable you seem to have a problem with them doing so? If an elected official is NOT representing what the people want, what do you suppose they should be threatened with?
The whole political spectrum has swung left. What is considered a moderate today was a flaming liberal not too long ago. What you are proposing is that the right swing even more left then they already have. The country is going into the dumpster and it isn't because the right has won any recent victories. The left wing has won almost everything but the right still gets the blame. BS.
We want them to vote against bad democrat initiatives. We wanted them to vote no for Obamacare. It is not like Congress has not passed laws. They are passing them at about the same rate as any other congress. It is just that some of the things that the democrats want to do is so radical we want them to vote against them in a block. That said, I can't think of any initiative that the democrats wanted they didn't get. Maybe not lock stock and barrel but they got almost everything they wanted.
If you're right that the whole political spectrum has swung left, and I agree, some self-inspection might be helpful. The usual memes - the press, lying Democrats - notwithstanding, conservatives might want to consider what failures in messaging they can address on their own.
.
We are importing a million Third World voters a year.
This is not about messaging.
You're right. It's about the bedrock conservative principles being outdated due to their shortsightedness, their dyed-in-the-wool hate aspect, and frankly their "our way is better because we say so" nonsense. The messengers such as yourself and the other morons on this and other message boards do not help the matter. Case in point, the post I'm responding to; pulled right out of thin air, zero citations, and totally hateful.
What is with the left that they have to invoke hate into every one of their responses? Do you understand how HATEFUL you sound?
Alito was approved 75-25 with 25 Democrats approving his appointment. Will Republicans do the same?
What would have happened if instead of approving Alito, Democrats waited until Obama became President in 2009?
It could go the same way if Obama doesn't nominate some flaming left wing liberal.
But Obama WILL nominate a flaming left wing liberal. Just watch!
He might send up a sacrificial lamb to allow Republicans to get a rejection to satisfy their base. Once Republicans reject his first pick...they will have a tough time rejecting a moderate
When - not if - the first flaming liberal is - rightfully and righteously - rejected, count on Obama to send up another one just like the first one, but probably worse.
That who Obama is. The scorpion riding on the back of the frog across the river.
Republicans will do better with an Obama nominee than one from Hillary of Sanders
Do they want to take the chance?
If Republicans were smart (and we know they aren't) they would send Obama a short list of candidates they would be willing to support. It is their best shot
Na, it can wait for the next president to pick. There Is nothing pressing....Alito was approved 75-25 with 25 Democrats approving his appointment. Will Republicans do the same?

Holy crap, this does open up a can of worms.They are going for the outsider Trump specifically because the congress does nothing. They're looking for a shake up to get things moving.
Everything I've read points to that. Don't think you read anything.Rock and a hard place for Republicans. They have to deal with a reputation of being obstructionists, which they brought on themselves.
To the electorate, this just looks like more of the same.
.
Also the same reason for the rise of Trump. Voters say they want things to get done.
I keep hearing "get things done." WHAT do the voters want DONE? I am thinking most voters don't get passed Mrs. Bosnia Clinton being a woman. For crying out loud she is now barking like a dog and they still support her.
They are going for the outsider Trump specifically because the congress does nothing. They're looking for a shake up to get things moving. McConnell's plan to blow off a nominee would almost certainly backfire in that regard.

It would be fascinating to know how many of Trump's supporters are the same people who have so adamant against working with Democrats.
Trump is running on being a deal-maker. That means give & take, compromise. Isn't that the antithesis of what these people say they want?

The best deal makers drag their opposition to their side. The negotiation is just about how to get there.Holy crap, this does open up a can of worms.They are going for the outsider Trump specifically because the congress does nothing. They're looking for a shake up to get things moving.

Neither the semi-canine life-long political free-loader nor the envy-ridden communist have a chance to nominate anyone for the Supreme Court for obvious reasons.
If Obama was smart (and we know that he is NOT) he would ASK the Republican Senate majority for a list they would consider worthy of confirmation.
A lame duck can quack but .....

I am actually thinking it might be better to take a chance with Obama. Imagine who Mrs. Bosnia Clinton will nominate. There are lots of folks she needs to reward. And Sander? OMG what socialist closet would he pull a nominee out of? I have no idea whom Trump would nominate it could be any same thinking loon. Cruz or Rubio might nominate a sane person but they don't look like winners, right now.
So maybe Obama would be best, he certainly doesn't need to reward anyone and he does have his legacy to consider. Maybe he will nominate a moderate.
Here is what I don't understand.
What in the country is going so well that the left wing thinks Obama has done a good job and we need to continue that success?
Tractor companies moving to Cuba?
A flood of immigrants?
More people out of work on welfare then ever?
What exactly? Gays, getting married? really?
What, what exactly do you think are the accomplishments of this democrat president that should make people vote for Mrs. Bosnia Clinton who says she wants to continue the progress that Obama has made?

In my opinion, no president is going to do what you suggest. Although it would be really great if he did.

It is odd and hard to read the minds of republican voters this cycle. It is without a doubt though a very aniestablishment sentiment. If the Senate repubs go full obstruction on this nomination, it's hard to see how that helps them.

Again, "congress does nothing." That is perception, I looked up the stats for this congress and they by the stats they have done just as much as any other congress. Since the take over of Congress Obama has vetoed 7 pieces of legislation, so who is really doing nothing? I am actually more concerned with what they are doing then them doing nothing. For the most part doing nothing is better then doing things like passing Obamacare or confirming a liberal to the court.
