There is always hope, both practical and supernatural. The new avenue of hope opens with Romney’s defeat: a chance for the GOP machine to fix its primaries process, for the GOP policy wonks to re-wonk conservatism and to give credibility, tactical support and polish to the Tea Party, and to re-engage the voting public with something better than what-to-do-with-that-upper-tax-bracket there-are-no-abortion-laws-that-I-will-change candidates.

Waiting for a few more years before the deck goes vertical is not a hope, it is foolishness. Time to act is now. Here’s a realistic goal: take the Senate in 2014 (20 Dem seats in play, several in red states), when there is no romney to get in the way.

Dear annalex,

What hope remains is solely supernatural.

“The new avenue of hope opens with Romney’s defeat: a chance for the GOP machine to fix its primaries process,...”

This is a foolish remark. Politics is no longer anything that will save us, help us to avert, or even put off for a time, the destruction we face as a nation.

The next election is in 2016. It will no longer be possible by then to undo Obamacare, which, by itself, defeats us as it turns us into a secular, Western Europe social welfare state where, by virtue of its ability to define “health care,” the government - now controlled by the most radical leftists who have ever been elected in the United States - gets to define everything. Morality, social structures, what defines a family, what defines the tenets of a particular religion or faith, the rules of our mediating institutions - our churches, our schools, our private civic associations - everything.

We already saw in this last election that we are at the tipping point of creating dependence among so many that they will never vote to undo their dependence. Obamacare hastens and deepens that dependence. In the next four years, without any additional action on the part of the Congress, we will move past the event horizon of the black hole.

Cardinal George said that the HHS mandate will cause the church to shutter her schools, hospitals, every mediating institution run by the church, within two years. He says this hoping to scare the anti-Christ into compromise. He, along with all the other bishops, just isn't very bright. That is where the Kenyan wishes to go. It's a twofer for him. He gets rid of the competing civic institutions AND he causes a crisis in health care (and education) that will permit the erection of single-payer, entirely government-controlled health care.

“Waiting for a few more years before the deck goes vertical is not a hope, it is foolishness.”

Torpedoing the ship right now because we don't like waiting aboard a ship that is slowly sinking is the greater foolishness.

“Here’s a realistic goal: take the Senate in 2014 (20 Dem seats in play, several in red states), when there is no romney to get in the way.”

It isn't Gov. Romney that prevented morons Akin and Mourdock from being elected. It isn't Gov. Romney that got in the way of Scott Brown. Mr. Smith more likely dragged down Gov. Romney in Pennsylvania than vice versa, as the governor ran way out in front of Mr. Smith (who lost with less than 40% of the vote, if I recall correctly). It isn't Gov. Romney who caused the bitter primary fight in Wisconsin that left Tommy Thompson broke and unable to fight for that seat.

Besides which, the anti-Christ doesn't actually need any new legislation. All he needs to do is maintain the status quo, and it's over. And in that he has extraconstitutionally expanded executive orders beyond all imagining, with a supine press, and even Republican House, a few more of these, and he'll be able to change Obamacare into single-payer even without new legislation.

As for judicial appointments, unless your magical new primary process results in replacing all the Republicans in the Senate, even with a newly-minted majority, they will confirm pretty much all his Supreme picks and most of his other picks.

The barbarians are in the gate. This election was the possibility to force them out of the city long enough for reinforcements to arrive. In re-electing Satan's bitch, we have surrendered the city to the sacking of the invaders. We have given them all that is valuable for them to ruin, destroy and despoil. There is no turning back, now.

You have voted for certain, immediate destruction versus possible harm, even great harm, in the long-term.
