IF YOU DON’T LIKE MITT FOR PRESIDENT, HERE’S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER...
Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election….
“…..if Mitt is the nominee, I will support his candidacy because I dread the alternative. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:
1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.
We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.
If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”
So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can’t win... Imagine this: SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER.
Romney appointed mostly liberals to the court as Governor
The GOP Senate will confirm anything put to a vote
Umm, Souter was nominated by Bush the Elder...
But Romney is better than Bammy....
With Bammy we would get a full on Commie, with Romney we will get a psuedo-socialist...
I would remind you that Romney has a history of nominating very liberal judges.
I’d feel a lot better abut Romney if hadn’t nominated all those liberal Dem judges in MA.
Four more Souters!
“..whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court..”

Glad to see you both agree with my tagline. Thanks.
If you want to vote for Romney, be sure to not examine the people he put on the bench.
Well, it’s not like Romney picked conservatives in MA.
He’s a moderate liberal and will pick moderate liberals.
You are making a very good argument for Romney to see the light, step down, and let the Convention pick a strong Conservative for the nomination.
