For those for whom abortion is a key issue, it should be noted that abortion "came out of the closet" because of Roe v. Wade -- a Supreme Court decision. Not because of some act passed by Congress and the President.

The damage that a Supreme Court controlled by liberal, activist judges could do is much greater than what a Presdent can do, because there is no filibuster to stop them, and having control of one house of Congress won't stop them either. In fact, you can't even stop such a Court if you have the Presidency and both houses of Congress.

Give Obama the opportunity to replace one or more of the conservative justices on the Court with another Kagan or Sotomayor, and it's not going to matter if Ronald Reagan himself wins election in 2016. It will be game over.

People may not be sure that Romney will appoint conservative justices when he doesn't have to deal a Democratic committee that could veto his choices, as he did in Massachusetts. Perhaps his appointees would not be much better than Obama's. But we know what Obama's Supreme Court appointments will look like because he's already made two. There is no doubt as to what he'll do if he gets another vacancy to fill.

Watch a liberal-dominated Supreme Court toss out Congressional restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortions. Watch them run this country into the ground while there's nothing we can do about it. Anyone who forgets the legacy of the Warren Court should look it up.

If there is any chance that Romney will appoint more conservative justices than Obama -- and based on the advisors he's signed on, that seems a reasonable bet -- then I think the choice is clear.

We cannot give Obama 5 votes on the Supreme Court.

Oh don’t worry, all these noble conservatives are going to write in loser candidates and go home and feel all proud that they gave Obama four more years to do more harm than they can possibly imagine. After all, Romney is the new anti-christ now don’t you know ...

Those that compare Obama to Romney and think they are equal are worse than fools, they don’t deserve to even vote they are so ignorant.

Since when is winning a presidential election such a big secret?

There is already a tried and true method of winning that almost everyone uses who wins.

You need a lot of recognition or someone like Ted Kennedy patheing the way for you or white guilt to run on.

Also you need lots of money,a huge well run organization and contacts all over the place within the party and key states you wish to run in.Do all that and even if you are a mediocre candidate,a rino or even communist your chances are good of winning.

So now for 2016 we need to ask our selves who can we help prepare using the tried and true methods of winning elections who can break the RINO hold the RNC has on representing the Republican Party.

We have made huge inroads. Now is not the time to give up and sit out an election because our guy did not win.
