BTW, had McConnell consented to Senate hearings for Obama's nominee, the Republican party would be completely abandoned by it's electorate. They would never hold a majority again, at least in our life time. McConnell had no other choice.

Others, you're off base. The last Republican won election, giving them the Senate and the House was supposed to guarantee stopping the Obama agenda, including Obamacare. But it didn't. The Republican congress has given Obama just about everything that he has asked for without any resistance. This has angered the electorate that put them in office because they promised to stop his agenda. The excuse was, well... we also need the White House as well as the Congress and resisting Obama will only anger independents. Congress holds the purse strings. They don't have to fund anything Obama does, but they do. The only thing the Senate has stopped, is his nomination for a Supreme Court appointment. And they are using the *Biden* rule and what Chuck Schumer advocated when Bush may have had another possible nomination a year or so before the election. So what McConnell has done is with precedent set by Democrats.

Ha. It blew up in their faces like a cartoon firecracker. Made them look like a bunch of out of touch, overpaid dupes. Also helped usher in Trump, as he positions himself as Mr. Change, and these off-base attempts at pushing a radical right-wing and racist agenda in the Congress have sent their rating plummeting. Even the Koch brothers have drastically cut back on funding the politicians they have purchased. This was a serious miscalculation from the Republican power elite, and they know it. As for the 'ideological' argument, sure, that exists, but Mitch and his pillowcase buddies show their hand by the radical extent to which they take their attempts to block the President, as evidenced by this latest circus over *the current Supreme Court vacancy*, willing to let it languish, holding up the most important judicial decisions made for this country, over some melanin. Wow. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Oh c'mon Ollie, Everyone knows the Democrats were the party of the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow and segregation.

President Eisenhower , who was a Republican, sent in federal troops to integrate Little Rock schools.
