McCain, along with John Kasich, come from a bygone era before Robert Bork was politically assassinated during his Supreme Court nomination during the Reagan years. Everything has gone downhill as far as Democrats and Republicans working together ever since. The more social issues are injected into the realm of the Federal Government, the more divided we have become. Senators, like McCain, are dinosaurs, and they think they can bring it back to a time when Democrats were patriots, and Republicans thought that unions were good for the economy. Things have definitely changed... and there is no return. I see permanent separation as a viable solution. I know which side the wealth, the Constitution, and the weapons will fall on... so I know my family will survive. If anyone thinks it can't happen here in the USA... you have not been paying attention.
*looks up Robert Bork*
> Fun fellow it seems, never understood that "originalism" mentality of some (if so, why isn't he amish? ). Seems he was also the "yes-man" for Nixon's demise. Unsure also how you would consider him the point of Rep-Dem true schism, his SCOTUS was downvoted with a somewhat split Dem and Rep line-up. (2 Dems with 40 Rep Y vs 6 Reps with 52 No Dems). Then again this is from before my time quite literally
"to a time when Democrats were patriots, and Republicans thought that unions were good for the economy".
> Sounds like the sides switched
As for seperation, which way do mean?
