Tell that to the Senators up for re-election in OH, PA, WI and NH who are scared shitless!

The only people that are pushing this are the Dems that want a liberal. The everyday voter doesn't care about the SCOTUS fight...just like they didn't care when Reid killed the filibuster.

That's not what the polls say in several swing states. And it's not about who Obama nominates. It's the process...the obstructionism...that the liberals and a large majority of independents are objecting to. This is enough to swing the senate...and it's certainly enough to worry quite a few senators up for election.

Quote:Earlier this week Public Policy Polling surveys found that Pat Toomey and Rob Portman were endangering their reelection chances with their opposition to even considering a replacement for Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. Now you can add Kelly Ayotte and Ron Johnson to that list. New polls in New Hampshire and Wisconsin find strong support for filling the seat this year, and that Ayotte and Johnson’s already dodgy reelection prospects could become even more perilous because of their opposition.

Key findings from the survey include:

-Johnson and Ayotte are already both in trouble this fall because of their weak approval numbers. Johnson has just a 33% approval rating, with 50% of voters disapproving of him. Ayotte isn’t doing much better, with 42% of voters giving her good marks and 48% bad ones. Johnson and Ayotte also have to deal with the overall damaging brand of Senate Republicans as they seek second terms- Mitch McConnell is a remarkably unpopular figure with a 14/58 approval spread in both Wisconsin and New Hampshire.

-Strong majorities of voters in both states think that the vacant seat on the Supreme Court should be filled this year. It’s a 62/35 spread in favor of doing so in Wisconsin, and 59/36 in New Hampshire. One thing that really stands out in both states is what a strong mandate there is from independents for filling the seat- it’s 67/30 in Wisconsin and 60/33 in New Hampshire. Those are the voters who will end up determining whether Johnson and Ayotte get reelected this fall, and they disagree with them on this issue.

Like I said previously...only liberals are saying this. The PPP is a liberal polling and analysis firm.

Is Quinnipiac also liberal?

Quote:The new warning sign for Portman comes in the question the survey asked on whether the Senate should "consider a candidate nominated by the president to fill the vacant seat," or "delay action on a Supreme Court nominee until there's a new president."

The poll found that 56 percent of Ohio voters want the Senate to weigh a nominee -- including 58 percent of women and independents. That's against just 41 percent who said they want to delay. Portman has sided with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in saying the Senate should not act.

The survey was done from Feb. 16 to 20, calling 1,539 registered voters on cell phones and landlines. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

Not saying it's a sure thing or that voting out incumbent Republicans will be easy...especially since November is away off, but the candidates are concerned...so the GOP would be wise to be as well. And trust me, they are.

"There's Something Wrong With America's Premier Liberal Pollster
The problem with PPP's methodology"

Why doesn't it surprise me you go find a liberal pollster that fits your agenda? Now, they may be correct, but don't pretend PPP isn't slanted........

RE: Republican Leaders Meeting With Dems And Obama Right Now On SCOTUS Opening
LOL for anyone believing that voters want to see more Obama influence in our country. Obama is a washed up loser that the majority of people cannot stand anymore. It's likely that he goes down in history as the most worthless president we ever had. Pathetic.

Hopefully the winner of the election in the fall can start Dec 1 so we can turn the page on that worthless ass.

His legacy will always be that he was the first black president. That, for most historians, will trump everything else.

Yes, very much so.

And your explanation of this from the exact same poll is what exactly?

Quote:Gov. John Kasich is the strong favorite in November presidential matchups in Ohio, thumping former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by 17 percentage points and burning Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont by 19 points, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Kasich tops Clinton 54 - 37 percent, including 57 - 27 percent among independent voters in Ohio, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. The native son governor leads Sanders 54 - 35 percent, including 51 - 33 percent among independent voters.

Thought so. 03-yawn

Back to the original topic. Word is that Obama asked the Republican senators for whom he should nominate to fill the vacancy, and they had no answer. Tells you all you need to know about what they think of the Constitution. Advice and Consent my ass!

Obama never negotiated in good faith with the GOP. No surprise now why they would bother to answer him seriously. If they did answer seriously, would it change anything given how the previous 7 years went? Absolutely not. The only thing Obama is doing is politicking. He doesn't care if he can nominate someone or not. All he cares about is electioneering. We all know it. So do you. LOL at the feigned outrage unless...you actually believe that any of our career politicians actually cares about the country.

Since day 1, Obama told the GOP in congress that they were not needed. The Dems had both houses under their control and he had plenty of opportunities to get as much done as he wanted to during that time. He told the GOP to pound sand and did not care about their views. When the Dems lost the house, Obama flipped the script.

Your statement is a strawman.

Obama never negotiated in good faith with the GOP. No surprise now why they would bother to answer him seriously. If they did answer seriously, would it change anything given how the previous 7 years went? Absolutely not. The only thing Obama is doing is politicking. He doesn't care if he can nominate someone or not. All he cares about is electioneering. We all know it. So do you. LOL at the feigned outrage unless...you actually believe that any of our career politicians actually cares about the country.

And since Day 1, when has anyone in the GOP ever even hinted at the fact that they'd be interested in an honest negotiation?

Since day 1, Obama told the GOP in congress that they were not needed. The Dems had both houses under their control and he had plenty of opportunities to get as much done as he wanted to during that time. He told the GOP to pound sand and did not care about their views. When the Dems lost the house, Obama flipped the script.

Your statement is a strawman.

Oh c'mon man. What do you call this?





And Obama didn't have a filibuster proof majority for as long as you're letting on. Regardless, to pretend like the Republicans are the "aw shucks" good guys in all this is ridiculous.

How do you suppose you would react when the newly elected President of the other party announces: "Elections have consequences. The Republicans can ride in the back of the bus."

In other words - if you don't have a "D" next to your name, I'm not interested.

As soon as the House was lost, scumbag Harry Reid blocked any legislation from going to Obama's desk protecting him from becoming known as an even bigger loser president than he already is known as.

Is it not always the goal to make the opposition one term? Isn't winning the point? Seriously, that people keep going back to this like it's actually some kind of gotcha is asinine.

The actual quote, "We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.” was said in October of 2010, nearly two years into his presidency.

Like it or not, the president still gets to drive the car. Sorry.
