I’m no Romney lover but .....

But you're singing his praises on FRee Republic.

You weren't posting that garbage six months ago, were you?

Besides, your argument fails. If the GOP gets a majority of the Senate, we ride it out and go forward with a Supreme Court of eight or seven justices, if need be, to fight off Barky's Communist jurists.

You think you'll know what sort of judges Romney will nominate. Well, guess what? He'll be thinking about his own fame, his own legacy -- not your ideas about whom to nominate.

My own guess is, he'll nominate Souters so we can institutionalize a "gay seat" on the Supreme Court, just like there is now a "black seat" and a "wise Latina seat" and a "Communist lesbian" seats and a "Jewish seat" -- oh, wait, make that two "Jewish seats".

I'd hardly call pointing out the irrefutably obvious singing Romney's praises.

Like most Freepers, Romney was my fifth choice, but he's who we ended up with, and for the first four years, at least, we can hold his feet to the fire.

We're not going to be able to hold up a SCOTUS nomination for 3 years, so The One will be able to put whatever commie/muzzy he wants to.

Per the "gay seat", you're forgetting Elena Kagan, are you not?

No, I'm pointing out there is a decent chance he'll be better than Obama on judicial appointments

You weren't posting that garbage six months ago, were you?

Actually, when everyone here was swooning over Newt I was telling them to get behind Santorum before it was too late. Looks like I was right on that one. FR waited until it was too late.

Besides, your argument fails. If the GOP gets a majority of the Senate, we ride it out and go forward with a Supreme Court of eight or seven justices, if need be, to fight off Barky's Communist jurists.

What color is the sky in your world? The Senate will never stand up to Obama like that. Too many of "our" guys are willing to compromise to avoid the bad PR that would ensue. Remember, we had a Republican Senate and a Republican president and we still got the "Gang of 14" compromise in 2005.

You think you'll know what sort of judges Romney will nominate. Well, guess what? He'll be thinking about his own fame, his own legacy -- not your ideas about whom to nominate. My own guess is....

Now who doesn't know?

...My own guess is, he'll nominate Souters so we can institutionalize a "gay seat"

Obama already gave us the gay seat with Kagan. Therefore, your assumption is flawed.

The bottom line is this: I may not know what sort of judges Romney will nominate but damn sure know what sort Obama will nominate.

I'd rather take a chance on Romney having to replace Scalia, Kennedy or Ginsburg than letting Obama do it.

The appointments would last about 20 years. How long would control of the senate last ? Probably not 20 years. I’m no Mitt fan at all, but he is a much better alternative than Obama.

Would you rather Obama appoint 1, 2, or maybe 3?

Bryer will leave if Obama is reelected (he said so, as did Ginsburg)

that scares the S$$T out of me...not for myself, I am 75, hey can't hurt me...it's my grand children I am voting for....

If you say at home “pride” voters, think of your kids and grands...if you do not have any...thinks of the little ones that depend on “the grown ups”
