I remember Nixon. The Republican Party was in shambles. Several third parties sprang up to replace the seemingly dead GOP. One thing you can be sure of, Politics in America is fickled and one event can change everything.

Sticks finger in ear..lalalalalal....

Sorry Doc I couldn't resist when I saw yours about this!

Which the republicans will "promptly" blow-up with the "nuclear option"!

If they can find some spines between now and then.

You guys think you saw the real hatred from the left. Just wait. Nothing they did before the election will compare to the hate that is coming.

Oh, I know it! Already Biden is spitting on himself:

"If [Bush] sent up Edith Jones, I could assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight - and she would probably be filibustered," Biden told CBS's "Face the Nation."

In the next breath Biden corrected himself, saying: "I misspoke, I misspoke. Janice Rogers Brown is what I meant to say."

ANd he actually got elected!

Besides, what do you think will happen when the Democrats regain the majority?

If you can show me where the republicans used the filibuster on Judicial nominees in the past, your statement might have some relevance. As it is, Ruth Buzzi got a unanimous vote, even tho she is left of Mao.

That's not a when, it's an "if".

And the way they are going, a BIG if.

More importantly, people MIGHT start taking who they elect to the White House and Congress more seriously, since they will actually feel the results in terms of their rights.

If there are any left by then.

The difference between Nixon of the 70s and the democrats of the 21st century, is the Republicans took their lumps got over it and went on. The democrats refused to take their lumps (it depends on what he meaning of the word is is), refuse to get over (Bush is a liar and a thief) it, and refuse to move on (Selected not elected).

The Republicans had a former Democratic Governor (Ronald Wilson Reagan) who was underestimated by almost everybody. At the time he defeated Jimmy Carter the Democrats had firm control of the house and senate. It is not too often that either party has the likes of a Ronald Reagan to come along.

And, like him or not, Newt Gingrich had a fit of genius when he engineered and lead the greatest congressional turn around in modern politics. The Contract With America influence remains today.

No, I disagree. he was just at the right place at the right time. That the Republican majority has survived his tenure is testament to that.

The Pendulum was swinging in the 70s until Watergate. it took them another 20 years to bring it back.
