This article, from Family Security Matters, does an excellent job of showing the stark difference in how Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Senate have dealt with each other's agenda - it shows in great detail how the Democrats take the offensive and use every weapon available to shoot down conservative values in this country while the GOP has simply sat on their hands.
The article shows the drastic difference in tactics against the nomination of a controversial Supreme Court nominee. Let's look:
So, conservatives like me, sit out here in fly over country and witness this display of my so-called "conservative leaders" continuing to roll over in the face of the Marxist agenda. And speaking for myself, this is the last straw. Even the dumbest of the dumb can see what Elena Kagan represents in her nomination by Barack Hussein Obama. Our socialist President has nominated a woman who will serve him on the Court - this is a Supreme Court nominee that not only will consult with the Executive on her actual votes but who, I am convinced, will serve as a divisive element on the Court to create chaos and division. Barack Hussein Obama sees the Supreme Court as the last major stumbling block to the control he needs and desires and if he can create a Court of disarray, he will be able to manipulate the Supreme Court.
And my conservative leaders roll over on their backs, they "warm up" to this blatant Socialist extremist...all the time knowing that time after time in the past the Left has shot down conservative nominees more qualified and more committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution.
Ted Kennedy went after Robert Bork like a rabid wolf after a defenseless baby....why? Because Bork believed that an innocent baby in the womb should not be killed. Elena Kagan believes that the Constitution of the United States is a flawed document and that her view of social justice supercedes that old, outdated document and people like Olympia Snowe and Lindsey Graham treat her with kid gloves. Elena Kagan should be destroyed in these interviews and testimonies. She should be asked why she hates America. She should be grilled about why any normal American would write their college thesis on socialism and Marxism. Elena Kagan should be asked if she's had a conversation with Obama about doing his bidding. Elena Kagan's political stance and ideology should be attacked like a Taliban IED emplacement crew. Elena Kagan should have left the damn Senate hearings crying like a baby.
This is a war for our Country and representing our side in this war is a conglomeration of traitors and sissies and incompetents.
The article shows the drastic difference in tactics against the nomination of a controversial Supreme Court nominee. Let's look:
Within 45 minutes of Robert Bork's nomination to the Court, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) took to the Senate floor with a strong condemnation of Bork in a nationally televised speech, declaring,That was the Democrat tactic against the Right. Now, let's look at a couple of examples of GOP response to a Leftist Supreme Court nominee:
"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens."
TV ads narrated by Gregory Peck attacked Bork as an extremist, and Kennedy's speech successfully fueled widespread public skepticism of Bork's nomination.
Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins said she didn’t consider Kagan’s lack of judicial experience "as being a problem at all" because "it’s helpful to have on the Supreme Court an individual who does not come from the judicial background."There you have it. And people in America wonder how in the world this great nation and its Constitution are slipping away. There are some of us conservatives that don't see the Kagan nomination as just another political appointment. This is a battle in a very serious war. And it isn't a war between Democrats and Republicans, this is a bloody all out war between Marxism and Socialism versus the U.S. Constitution and our basic freedoms as Americans.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican on the judiciary panel, said in a statement that Kagan has a "strong academic background" and that he has been "generally pleased with her job performance as solicitor general," particularly on terrorism issues.
Massachusetts GOP Senator Scott Brown said he is warming up to Kagan.

Exclusive: What Is The Difference Between Democrats and Republicans?
On July 1, 1987 a man was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan. The person nominated to the court served as Solicitor General from 1973 to 1977; acting Attorney General from 1973 to 1974; and Circuit Judge of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1982 to 1988. In addition he served as the Alexander M. Bickel Professor of Public Law at Yale Law School from 1962 to 1981 with time off to serve as Solicitor General. He also was a professor at the Ave Maria School of Law in Ann Arbor, Michigan and received the Tad and Diane Taube Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution. The nominee obtained both his J.D. and his B.A. from the University of Chicago.
Judge Robert Bork was rejected by the Senate.
Within 45 minutes of Robert Bork's nomination to the Court, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) took to the Senate floor with a strong condemnation of Bork in a nationally televised speech, declaring,
"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens."
TV ads narrated by Gregory Peck attacked Bork as an extremist, and Kennedy's speech successfully fueled widespread public skepticism of Bork's nomination.
Judge Bork's nomination was rejected in the committee by a 9–5 vote, and then rejected in the full Senate by a 58–42 margin.
On October 23, 1987, the Senate rejected Bork's confirmation, with 42 Senators voting in favor and 58 voting against. Senators David Boren (D-OK) and Ernest Hollings (D-SC) voted in favor, with Senators John Chafee (R-RI), Bob Packwood (R-OR), Arlen Specter (R-PA), Robert Stafford (R-VT), John Warner (R-VA) and Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. (R-CT) all voting nay. Six Republican senators voted against the confirmation of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court.
The vacant seat on the court to which Bork was nominated eventually went to Judge Anthony Kennedy. Kennedy is now the sole arbiter of what is or is not constitutional on a court otherwise evenly divided between those who respect the constitution and those who do not.
Fast forward to 2010. The most liberal and country-destroying president ever to have that office has nominated Elena Kagan, his solicitor General, to the Supreme Court. Kagan is the former Harvard Law Dean and has no judicial experience. She has had a non distinguished career - 14 months as U.S. solicitor general and two years as a private lawyer after finishing law school. Compare her credentials with those of Judge Robert Bork.
After Kagan's nomination no Republican went on the Senate floor to denounce her as Ted Kennedy had done years earlier to Judge Bork. There were no TV ads by anyone, let alone anyone like the well known movie star at the time Gregory Peck. So what have the Republicans done following Kagan's nomination? Here is a sampling:
Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins said she didn’t consider Kagan’s lack of judicial experience "as being a problem at all" because "it’s helpful to have on the Supreme Court an individual who does not come from the judicial background."
Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican on the judiciary panel, said in a statement that Kagan has a "strong academic background" and that he has been "generally pleased with her job performance as solicitor general," particularly on terrorism issues.
Massachusetts GOP Senator Scott Brown said he is warming up to Kagan.
Former special prosecutor Kenneth Starr said charges that Kagan holds extreme views are off base.
Michael McConnel, a former federal appeals court judge who was nominated by Ronald Reagan, said "She has had a remarkable and unusual record of reaching across ideological divides."
Himself denied appointment to an Appeals Court by Democrats, Miguel Estrada said "She's clearly qualified for the court and should be confirmed."
So you can see the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats fight tooth and nail and Republicans wimp out. Who wins in a fight between a junk yard dog and a pussy cat?

There's a reason for that. Liberals have concentrated under the Democratic ticket AND have infiltrated the Republican party. The three mentioned are Democrats (Brown, Snowe, Graham) but wear Republican colors. Conservative citizens must purge liberals from office---not matter which party they pretend to represent.
I've told you this in the past...The Democrats do know how to fight. They are fierce when they go on the attack.
Anon: I've been saying it for years. I ALWAYS vote for Conservatives...But don't always vote for Republicans.
When Scott Brown took the "Kenndy" seat there were calls for him to be president. Nothing good has come out of Mass. since the revolutionary war. Said it before and stand by it today.
another topic: Did you see where felons pushed the vote to Franken giving the senate 59 dems. Later Specter changed to a dem making it 60 votes and now we have Obama care.
All politics isn't local.

The Senators should examine the June 28 National Review story, and the Harvard law students' blog, on Kagan's decision to involve herself in the investigation of the Larry Tribe ghostwriting and plagiarism scandal despite her personal conflict of interest (she was a former Tribe ghostwriter and did a whitewash, imposing no punishment on Tribe).

It's almost as if Republicans see the Democrats skimming money off of all that slush money; If they scream too loud, they won't be able to do the same thing when their turn materializes after an upcoming election. Otherwise, I just can't reckon for their silence when there is so much to rant about.
