While it's fashionable in some conservative circles to sneer at Mitt Romney and state that he will be useless if elected, I contend that we simply can't risk another four destructive years of Obama and that conservatives can put political pressure on Romney to to at least take some halfway conservative actions that will benefit the nation

Sorry, Jim, but that's wrong. Mitt & Barack are 2 sides of the same coin. They are fraternal twins, not identical, but nonetheless twins.

Listen..Social Security and Medicare could have easily been repealed if they were as unpopular as OC is, and had not taken effect yet. Of course YEARS AND YEARS later with many people reliant on these programs they’re never going to be touched. We can’t allow this to happen with OC. If people start depending on it then yes it will be impossible. Four months from now is our last and only chance to scrap it.

I'm with you. I haven't trusted Republicans since 1998 and I damn sure don't trust Romney.

Romney's words, "Repeal and replace!"

"Replace" with what?

Besides, he alone can not "Repeal" the, now, law of the land. It would take a majority of the House and the Senate and I am not sure if it would take a super majority in the Senate or not.

Everyone seems to get chills running up their legs in the Romney camp about his saying he will repeal it, but chose not to opine on his saying "Repeal and replace!"

It's the Constitution that's hanging by a thread

Just an observation, with a Mormon running for President, do we really want to use the phrase, "Constitution hanging by a thread?" I'm just saying...

This is about having people in place for a decade not just 4 to 8 years as the President

Do you realize that as of late last year, the GoP only had 29% of all registered voters?

When the GoP allowed the RINOs to take over the party, it has simply chased away solid party voters like myself. I'm never voted Dem -- and won't start...but I'm switching from the GoP to the Constitution Party.

That 29% -- with a liberal at the helm (like Romney) -- will greatly lower the % pool of overall registered voters that the GoP has...this year...and even more so if Romney loses.

You can't point fingers at those looking square in the face of the future extinction of the GoP who are scurrying elsewhere for new associations.

I mean, if I wanted to vote for somebody to the left of LBJ, I'd have gone Dem long ago.

If the RINOs in charge of the GoP really were interested in "having people in place...for a decade" -- it wouldn't be decimating its base.

Evangelicals constituted 34% of the entire electorate in 2010...that's not just 34% of the GOP -- but 34% of the entire electorate...

I am telling Evangelicals: Run elsewhere...'cause the Gop is going the way of the Whigs.

What matters now is getting rid of Obama. If he is miraculously re-elected, America is absolutely doomed

America is doomed, anyway.

Once you have well over 90% of its electorate -- about to vote for one of two liberals...both pro-aborts...shows that we are indeed a nation of heretics and liberals.

And if we get 50% of voters saying, "Hey, I don't mind elevating a self-professed 'god in embryo' who plans on rivaling THE God for worship, reception of prayers, glory, sovereignty, and adoration..." how do you think a jealous God will respond to that?

Fact: 15-20% of Mormons are temple Mormons.
Fact: Mormon teaching is that temple Mormons will become full grown-up gods.
Fact: Mitt Romney IS a temple Mormon who has gone on record as fully supportive of the "faith of" his "fathers."

Take a long, hard look at what America will be like in four years under Obama, then take a long, hard look at what America will be like in four years under Romney.

Anyone who thinks a Romney Presidency would be the same or worse than Obama has been in a vegetative state for the last four years.

And, Mitt Romney is going to save it and nominate better judges to SCOTUS than Roberts?

Romney has committed himself to nominate judges like Chief Justice Roberts.

It's disaster regardless of who gets elected.

I prefer the Romney crap shoot over the Obama preselected radicals.

It will not be repealed.

There will be lots of thunder, fire, and smoke, but there will be no repeal.

Romney and the Repubs will rant about it for this election cycle, and even if it wins it for him, there will be no miraculous Rino-proof takeover of the US Senate.

Therefore, from Jan 2013 until October 2014, the House will vote to repeal. They’ll send a bill to the Senate. It will be filibustered by Dems only, or, if necessary, by dems + a few select rinos who will be thoroughly castigated on Rush, Fox, and various conservative forums.

There will be talk of a nuke option, and the HRCC & SRCC for 2014 will make it a major issue, but they’ll tell us we’ve got to support rino republicans because they are the only ones with a chance in their states, and besides judicial appointments will make it the most important race in the history of the entire galaxy.

Romney/Obama will tell us that “we must make the best of the hand we’re dealt”, so they’ll set about making “prudent executive funding decisions” in regard to what the law says they have to do. They won’t need to increase taxes, because Roberts just agreed that Congress already passed a tax increase to cover ObamaCare, so they’ll increase it, by Golly.

By then, businesses will be realizing that it’s actually cheaper for them to dump their health coverage and say, “Oh what the hay, this paperwork is killing me. Let the fed do it. The penalty’s gotta be easier than this headache...and it’s nearly the same cost. Let the Fed subsidize them.”

By 2016 one-third of the nation will be on the plan, and the parties will be running on “the best way to manage the economy, healthcare included”. 55% of America will be on welfare or unemployment, but with health care, phone care, house care, utilities care, school care, food care, child care, car care, and who cares.

18 conservatives will announce for the republican nomination and one “moderate”.

Hillary will be bypassed for some wunder-kind of high intelligence, messianic appeal, tatoos, and great affinity with the millenial generation.

I am more confident of a huge Republican and Romney victory this fall than ever.

Romney says he will begin on “day one” to ACT on Obamacare.

There is nothing said from the lips of Romney, of actually REPEALING Obamacare any longer.

Conservatives are in the tank, the socialist will be elected as the Republican nominee on our ticket for the first time in history and Romney now has to prove nothing to no one in the midst of this colossal cave by conservatives.

Nothing ever gets fixed in America because every fixed issue is a campaign issue taken off the table.

Can anyone remember the last time the US house and senate did something truly good?

Romney’s advisers have already said Romney isn’t going to do anything about obamaCare.
And really what can Romney do on day one even if he is elected.

” Not being an ideological conservative does not equate to being a Marxist, like Obama. “

How so?

Can you please give examples where Romney has legislated differently from Marxist Obama, EVER?

Funny thing.... I have a friend that is a Paralegal. She works in a law office...with a couple Democrat liars...oops, I meant lawyers.

Anyway....one of the other Paralegals was telling my friend that plenty of people she knew were going to now have to buy health insurance...and couldn't afford it. One of the liars...er, lawyers..had NO IDEA that was going to be a result of OBAMACARE.

I know both of these lawyers at this practice casually...and they both are idiots when it comes to common sense and politics.

Triangulating a punt will be stock and trade for Romney, who saw Obama’s great success at doing the same with his radical congressional majority at the time.

Republicans do not have a radically conservative majority anywhere in sight. Soros won’t hear of it, don’t cha know, and even SarahPAC turned unhelpful in Utah.

The Republican elites are more entrenched now than ever as more of the voters and employers will be swept up in the nanny state eventually to be found repelled by party poopers for liberty and independence, profit and capitalism and liberty. So “old school” in now socialist America.
