42. Remember when Democrats were in control for 40yrs...........
we did things Republicans didn't like and they didn't run away.....they consolidated their anger into putting us out of power. Well, the shoe is on the other foot. If we agree to disagree on issues it makes us stronger. Democrats can't be all to end all for everybody. The Republican party is on the ropes as long as we keep them there, together. I personally don't think we can muster the Republican votes we need to knock Alito out of the box. At best all we might be able to muster is a temporary delaying tactic, that will be overcome in the end.

For people jumping ship to third, fourth or fifth parties, fine but remember no third party has ever captured control. At best these movements drain off potential voters because of one or two issues out of many we can agree on. My advice is to put our anger to good use and direct it at defeating those Republican bastards. We need 7 Senators to gain control.
