A visit to a therapist might be necessary to help conservatives work through their issues with the current frontrunner.
What if Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination for president in 2012?
A vast majority of conservatives become anxiety-ridden at the mere posing of this question, and many go ballistic at the thought of it actually happening.
So a quick visit to a therapist may be helpful.
Imagine yourself lying on a couch in the spring of 2012 with soothing music playing in the background. News breaks that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has clinched the Republican nomination for president.
Your therapist, knowing that as a true conservative you worked against Romney by supporting (fill in the blank), asks in a soft comforting voice, “How does this news make you feel — angry, betrayed, confused?”
Intrade also pegs Obama’s re-election prospects at 58.6%, but your therapist says she will address those negative feelings in a future session.
This hour she wants you to work through the stress associated with accepting Romney as the GOP nominee.
So in an empathetic tone she asks you to think about the following questions:
Are you going to pick up your signs for Candidate X and go home?
Could you work for and support Romney’s campaign?
Will you vote for Romney in the 2012 election?
What if the polls show that Romney is running neck and neck with Obama?
Do you resent that squishy independent swing vote that is fueling Romney?
Finally, the therapy session is over and you leave her office with a huge headache. You realize you would have real problems supporting Romney as the nominee and even imagining these questions makes you angry.
Can you relate to this scenario?

Let's focus on our families, and on local politics. National politics looks more and more like a rigged game, with the latest episode inspired by the opening scene of Mel Brooks' movie Blazing Saddles.
Also, we can learn to pray to the One who can overrule even those who consider themselves politically omnipotent.
“Hold my nose and pull the lever. Obama cannot be allowed to remain in office.”
Yep, same here. Concerning his problem with Romney Care; I would suggest to him that he acknowledge that it’s not working. He should say something to the effect that it was a local state experiment and it did not work and it was a mistake. And, stat that he’s learned his lesson and promise to be a good boy and never, never do that again. And, move on...
Then I either write in Sarah Palin’s name or stay home. It’s that simple.
Yep. Jeb/Rubio, 2016. Just watch. Romney is the designated bullet catcher and ringer for 2012 to clear the way for this ‘dream’ ticket. Still, Reagan was NOT supposed to win the nomination in 1976 or 1980.
We shall see.
We're screwed. It's that simple.
Buy every semi-automatic rifle and pistol you can, dozens of high standard capacity magazines, and LOTS of ammo because that SOB will sign AWB2.

I would be forced to vote Against BHO. In no way would I be voting FOR Rino Rom. (same way I felt when I voted for Rino John last time.
Ditto and hope for the best.
Hope for the best. Haven't we seen what "hoping for the best" has brought upon us?
Like 2008, guarantee an Obama win again......
THAT will show ‘em!
No way I would ever vote for somebody so feeble minded as to even speak positively about Joey Smith’s cult of perversion.
He is as unfit as hussein to be POTUS.
Not vote. (or vote third party, same effect)
Sometimes the beat way to fix something is to let it break as soon as possible.
My number one problem with the Obama involves health care and gun control - both of which Romney stands with the Obama on.
At least with the Obama his health care takeover is self destructing, and he passed open carry in National Parks.
To REALLY get the Leftist agenda thru takes a RINO. Let’s not have one.
Then we’ll have Hussein for another four years and we will move MUCH closer to the coming 2nd American revolution. Romney is nothing but a younger version of McCain.
We need the Senate in our hands,I do not think Mitt will get very far.
I, for one, will jump out the effing window.
Romney is a 1965 era democrat, LBJ lite. He’s wrong, but unlike modern Democrats, he doesn’t hate America. I’ll do anything to prevent his nomination, but if he’s running against Obama, I’ll pull the lever for him.
