Bork would add just one more voice to the justices who have become activist and who are determined to overturn settled law. He would be the worst of the choices. An extremist in the extreme.

No, the last two the communist appointed are far worse

Both Obama and McCain received about 90% of votes among their own party in 2008. The one subset of Democratic voters who didn't vote as much for Obama was white Democrats in the South; only about 75% of them overall voted for him, though in individual states that percentage differed. In the three Southern states Obama won, over 80% of white Democrats voted for him, similar to the overall nationwide white Democratic proportion of Obama voters- 85%

The overall 90/10 party ID split was about the same in 2004 as well, though Bush did slightly better among his own party, netting 93% of registered Republicans:

Going back further, in 2000 Gore got 87% of registered Democrats to Bush's 91% of Republicans:

And Clinton won 85% of Dems in 1996 and 77% in '92:

For a real party splitter, check out Dole and Bush Sr.'s performances in those two elections- 81 and 73% respectively. Talk about a divided party!

Lol, I suspect you were one of those who wouldn't vote for Kennedy because he was "one of them Catholics".
