I never saw this coming - Roberts lied through his teeth at his hearings and now we have another stealth socialist Democrat on the court - the new David Souter.
Pray for America. Personally, I think we're toast.
You are welcome!

... since it has a lot of verses on prayer (how, why, certainty, faith, ...).
Damn. Well in the literal sense I agree. I would sooner visit Mount Rushmore with a pedophile football coach than I would go out of my way to save the life of a traitor. I don't think I would have been this angry at Kennedy. To have HIM write the solid dissent while Roberts went the other way is madness. I'd talk football with coach McFeely and smile at Obama's face and shake his hand and say "pleased to meet you Mr. President" about 100 times before I'd do anything but flip the bird to Roberts. Nothing feels worse than betrayal.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS the conservatives that flip. Never does a Marxist flip
It's true with regular voters as well. Inner city democrats almost never break ranks. GOP suburbanites and rural people vote democrat all time. The left does not tolerate dissent. Look up "three line whip", that's that kind of mindset we need to have, on everything.
I know with judicial appointments there is a lot of beating around the bush cause we like to pretend the courts are supposed to be "above" "politics" (which is a lot of bull if you ask me). But If I was the President making a SCOTUS appointment, I'm strapping the guy to a polygraph (I'm not of fan of their efficacy but you get my point) and flat out asking:
"So Roe V Wade is bull, you'd overturn that right?" "Forcing people to buy health insurance, that's fascism right? Not legally permitted, correct?" "Do you swear on your children's life to uphold these principles we've been discussing?" and unless I got the answers I wanted and was sure he was being honest with me his resume would go in a circular file.
And if that gets you some half-retarded sycophant who wants nothing more than that the prestige that comes with the position then so be as it long as he votes the right way.
I get what you are saying. And it’s true every election is hyped up.
But I can’t see how 4 more years of Obama would leave us better off in any way even if Romney and Boner fail to repeal this (or just don’t as many seen to believe they are outright lying and have no such intention).
A justice quits or dies, maybe Romney effs up and puts another Roberts in his place or maybe Romney is an a-hole and appoints a Sotomayor on purpose cause he really is a liberal ideologue and not just a corporate establishment RINO like Bush (albeit with a troubling social liberal past that Bush lacked).
Obama erases all doubt of what would happen. Obama wins and Obamacare stays, maybe forever.
Unless in the unlikely event a GOP Senate would block his choice if Scalia trips in the shower in the next 4 years take every 5-4 that went our way and turn it around. Different America? If Stevens quits there goes our last chance to flip a seat for a while.
Even if the worst is true I’ve got more than enough incentive to vote Republican this year.
Hell, having that bitch have ONE-TERMER next to his name is reason enough on it’s own. Spite. Spite. Spite.
Stevens quit two years ago. Maybe you meant Ginsburg or Breyer.
Look at it this way then , Romney has to fear us. Obama never will. You don't want a liberal like Romney to think he has Republicans vote ‘in the bag’ because you know how much damage he can do with the Republican official stamp of approval. Remember 2007 and 2008.
You are perhaps forgetting that when elections are close, the democrats have greater effect because they can cheat a win. A soros owned company in Spain is counting a significant portion of OUR VOTES, so expect there to be even rgeater potential for cheating this time. And this may be the LAST TIME you get the chance to vote to remove the little barry bastard commie and his holder-ons and czars and fascist regulators.
There is something you are forgetting

Republicans need to EARN my support. Feel free to give them yours for free.
And how will you now switching to asshat insult mode change the reality of what is sitting atop the government and will end the Republic if he gets four more years? Stick your ‘feel free to give them yours for free’ tantrum troops self-righteousness up your darkened mental portal. We The People either work to save what we can or we insk into the chaos the globalists have planned for you and me and your childrena nd grandchildren. You need a new screen name, ‘cause you sure aren’t sick of the obamanoid libs or you would be working to oust the vermin instead of insulting those who are workign on some way, any way to rid US of Holder and the little barry bastard commie boy now assassinating the Republic through their minions and supporters like JOhn Roberts.
I don't support liberalism just because it acquires the Republican party name, You can if that suits you.
My screen name isn't GOP4Ever. It never will be.
Okay, so now I list your anme in the tantrum troops list. Fine, enjoy your self-righteous stint. You’ve probably earned it ...
Roberts’ silly decision was one of the most disappointing, shocking, disgusting actions that I’ve ever seen.
“Pray for America. Personally, I think we’re toast.”
I’ve been praying every day, but I need to pray harder than I have. We all do.
It seems, to undo this damaage we might need to have AT LEAST a majority of CONSERVATIVE Republicans in BOTH houses, but probably a SUPER majority in both houses. We all need to volunteer, donate, call talk shows, and do whatever we can to accomplish this.
Now there's THE irrelevance news flash of the day. AKA News I can't use.
Alas, so it has come to this ...
What’s the difference, allegedly a vagina? ;-D
I meant Ginsburg, though it’s possible the younger Breyer might decide to quit before her. She looks like she wants to die in office.
The main advantage of NOT having Republicans in charge is that in the minority they actually oppose liberal policies, even if in the case of McCain and Grahamnesty they don't even really mean it. When they are in charge they promote the same policies and they bring many Republicans with them.
Look at Romney on the Obam-ney Care mandate as a tax argument, he can't even agree that it's a tax (legally). He is a crappy candidate and the Romney primary RINOs are starting to get worried.
Obviously Obama as POTUS is a disaster but it is not my disaster.
Example, GWB, whose actions (and inactions) helped Obama get elected. We escaped amnesty in 2006 by the skin of our teeth.
On the other hand, I would hate to see Obama change the SCOTUS and other courts to be worse by far than they already are in a second term (although there is no guaratee Romney's appointees would be worth a damn).
