You’re missing the big picture, in that the Tea Party is slowly and methodically eliminating the RINOs in congress and the senate. Without them, while Romney might want to be a liberal, “nothing liberal this way comes.”
Right now, Romney might still win, but the fight for conservatives is that the Speaker of the House is *not* Boehner, and the Senate majority leader is *not* a RINO.
If the Tea Party is strong enough in the House to select a different speaker, than anything liberal that Romney wants is kaput. If he wants something the conservatives want, he gets it. His choice.
Even if he does an Obama, and tries to liberally rule by executive order, congress will just slash funding for that activity or agency. They mean to do some serious trash hauling as is. If Romney wants to increase the budget on anything, he is going to have to surrender twice as much in cuts.
The bottom line is that while Romney might want to focus on domestic policy, it is out of his hands. So he will have his best successes just cleaning up the international messes that Obama has left behind.
A post worthy of reflection. Thanks, yefraget
