Romney accomplished things Obama can only dream of -- he signed gay marriage into law, was able to get $50 abortions in his healthcare legislation and raised taxes far more extensively than Obama has been able to.
The biggest difference between Obama and Romney is that Republicans in Congress will stop Obama's policies while many would rally around any liberal policies Romney pushes.
Obama has been outrageous in his violations of our Constitution; and the Repubs are doing 'what'? Obama continues to violate; transgress; insult; and grow his criminal enterprise; run from Oval Office. Build a greater 'czardom' while at it; create 'Labor' as second tier of our Government; and 'who' has stopped him?
And then there is the matter of our having a totally corrupt Department for "Justice" - thanks to Obama's friend in crime - Eric Holder. How is 'Fast and Furious' working out per Justice; and Acorn/now under new name; and about those Panthers with baseball bats at polls; excused. (They will be back; doncha think, in 2012; and more than likely; with more of them?)
Whatever happened to the Col. Hassan; Fort Hood Massacre perp? The emptying of Gitmo; (back home, terrorists!) Meantime; 'welcome Hamas to America'. Welcome to the new Obama, 'landscape' i.e. lawless and corrupt.
Obama has had to contain himself; this term. Please KNOW; that if he gets next four year; he will neither need; nor 'use' Congress - at all - to implement the most evil of agendas, against America. And his Supreme Court nominees; will have 'patriots' heads spinning.
Better Romney; and then build a more substantial Conservative Congress.
All bets of OFF; for Obama; doing anything, by previously held expectations of Governance; much less, hold himself to our Constitution; or 'Rule of Law'. All done; in 'our face'; and irrespective of Congress.
So know; his being contained by Congress; will not happen; He will not let it. Obama has shown himself; but he will fearlessly and fully reveal what he is about; if he steals, four more years. Or worse; if we give them to him.
All to say; no comparison between the downside of Mitt leadership versus Obama but all perhaps; futile speculation; as believe Mitt is moot per 2012. Am furious by the tactics of RNC et al per his candidacy - literally being shoved down our throats; or their trying. I do support Newt; for authentic Leadership. But all may be irrelevant. But enough of that 'downside'.
The issue here was 'tween' MItt and Obama and the lessor of two evils. To that; think there can be no doubt.
