Hummm, me thinks we are going in circles here. You and I are going to get stuck with whichever “candidate” the RNC, etc. sticks us with from the heard of R candidates. My point is stop squabbling about who, because they are all equally bad, and concentrate on the Senate. When the time comes to support the next J. McCain in the general, please feel free - but if we take the Senate - it will really make little difference who is in the White House. Appointments can be blocked all the while bring Holder/and the illegal and their enablers into account (again impeachment). I do not remember if Slippery Bill had a lot of time to continue his damage while Congress forced him to spend a lot of time defending himself.
My final point; I do not want the individual my fellow citizens forced on me out of office as much as I want him brought to justice. Also, Congress can, god willing, modify the terms of the Supreme Court - albeit with no little difficulty. Summation; concentrate on the Senate races!
Please cite the last time a seat on the supreme court went unfilled from one presidents administration to the next. Except for the rare occurrence when a vacancy arises at or very near the end of term, the president gets his choice; not always the first choice but he gets one of his choices. Anyone the Kenyan would nominate would be disastrous for the country.
No senate that is politically possible this time will deny the Kenyan forever. That's the issue, no circles involved. If you think this country will elect a stonewall senate in 2012, please put down the bong.
