No better way to point out Liberal Hypocrisy than educate Liberals by reminding them Hillary and Obama tried to filibuster / defeat Alito's nomination in 2006...
Liberals don't like it when they get served a big spoon-full of their own 'medicine'. It's 'unfair' and 'not right' when a Republican does it but is perfectly fine when they do it. Yeah, whatever. My advice to Liberals, Hillary, and Obama would be to 'embrace the suck'. Fortunately for them, the GOP is full of spineless, weak-minded, self-serving me/party-1st @-holes who will 'cave' and give Obama whatever he wants before he steps down.
Scalia was not even dead for 24 hours and that F'ING POS you voted for made this announcement, he is lower than whale shit...
His nominee will be blocked, they better have thick skin...
If she doesn't get indicted you mean...
Do you mean this POS?
"The swiftness of McConnell’s statement — coming about an hour after Scalia’s death in Texas had been confirmed — stunned White House officials who had expected the Kentucky Republican to block their nominee with every tool at his disposal, but didn't imagine the combative GOP leader would issue an instant, categorical rejection of anyone Obama chose to nominate."

It will be wonderful to see Dems turning out in droves to install HRC because the GOP is obstructing Obama's nominations....
I haven't said it for a while but eventually the GOP will run out of either toes or bullets. It seems as though they have found another foot's worth of toes to aim at.
The GOP has obstructed no one as Obama has yet to make a nomination. The Republican Senate was voted into office to do a job as well. Their constituents expect them to only approve a candidate in the mold of Scalia. That's not obstruction. It's called doing the job the voters asked them to do. But feel free to keep playing games.
With that said, Democrats have a bigger issue if Hillary keeps picking up her Super Delegates even when Bernie picks up the votes.
I described the "what", you're explaining the "why".Look at the behavior of the GOP over the last eight years:They were definitely not obstructionist enough, but the left wing sold the lie and a whole lot of folks repeat it.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..
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.

Obama has a track record of picking PARTISAN Judges...
Yes, Alito was appointed, but you blew right past the point. The two whiny, hypocritical bitches - the President and the President wanna-be, are crying 'foul' at the idea of the opposition trying to stop a USSC nomination ... when THEY tried to do just that with ALITO! They're F*ING HYPOCRITES. THAT was my point.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?
This isn't Sotomayer replacing Souter, or Kagan replacing Stevens, this is Scalia we are talking about. This would be a makeover of the court, a sea change, and we Conservatives cannot afford to sit back and allow a fucking lib to replace him without the fight of our lives.
This is Obama's huge opportunity to go out with a poke in the eye like we've never been poked before.
If we (Conservatives) lose this one, we could be rendered powerless for years to come as far as the SCOTUS is concerned.
That is the intention of our Constitution. To allow the court to swing back and forth
Conservatives have no lock on control of the Supreme Court
When was the last time liberals controlled the court?
Let see, Obama(scotus) care, Gay marriage....... two rulings which rewrote law and neither sounds very conservative to me.
You guys appointed them
Guess your base is even too extreme for the Justices you appoint

HIs examples undermine your claim that conservatives control the Court OR that this is about conservatives thinking they have a right to have a "lock" on it.

McConnell is a Washington Establishment, self-serving, careers RINO politician. He and Boehner needed to be kicked out on the streets, right along side Reid and Pelosi...for a start to cleaning up Washington.It was McConnell overplaying his hand once again....

It could go the same way if Obama doesn't nominate some flaming left wing liberal.
