"Leaders" or even people with integrity can't get elected. In a democracy, the Primary produces candidates that have promised whatever it is their endorsees want. Add up the voting blocks and see if you can get 51%. I can tell you how many people select off of a bio or "issues" - about 1%.

Re: Trump's SCOTUS
I know. That's my point. We have crap leadership because we elect crap leaders based on something called a "campaign promise," which does not resemble an actual promise, in any way.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 6:24 pm

It's almost as if democracy isn't all that.

Democracy doesn't work. And even a republic falls apart if you have voters that aren't invested in good governance, aren't educated in defending the rights in the constitution (or other founding documents), and would rather vote for whoever promises more gibs.

That's the system. Easily fulfilling the promises is not democracy that's dictatorship. That's the "leadership" you hunger for or at least seemingly. You dont want that.Kath wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 6:32 pmI know. That's my point.

I think he is too.
Clubbies response is the exact response the Radical Left expects. They want you too scared of being called a bad name to excercise Merit based decision making.

Re: Trump's SCOTUS
Oh I agree, give her a seat and record the empty chair. You gave her a forum but she wont take it. We will proceed. Do not subpoena, contempt of congress is a publicity stunt for the person who is charged with it. Some women's shelter or planned parenthood will pay the fine and you'll look like a chump. Dont be a bitch like they are, you are in control, you already have it, you need not make demands of people that you know wont be met it will make you look weak and Sen. Flake will most likely live up to his name and then you are truly powerless.

Re: Trump's SCOTUS
Shut up, the process is exactly how I would proceed, give her an opportunity if she doesn't take it then that is on her.
