With an Obama Presidency, at least I get a congress with a spine.

A Congress with a spine? Are you high?

Sorry, I mean no disrespect. But I have no idea how you have formed this conclusion. We have Obama now and the Republican House has no spine. How will that change if Obama gets a second term?

Surely you can't believe that if we keep the House and gain the Senate, Congress will magically grow balls. That won't happen no matter who the President is. We both know that's true.

And besides all that, a second Obama term is sure to see more executive orders, czars, regulatory directives, etc. that directly affect our lives and have nothing whatsoever to do with Congress. He could care less about Congress, and he has shown his contempt for the separation of powers from day one.

Just wait until his second term: he will continue to run the table and flip off Congress, just like he is doing now. And we will be powerless to stop him.

The House, Senate, and the media have let him do whatever the hell he wants. And he wants more.

Then your memory is lacking.

Are they perfect, no.

Do they exasperate at times with their weakness, yes.

But for a good part of Obama's first three years they were rock solid, even including such freaks of nature as Olympia Snowe.

He can only go so far before he runs up against the rock-wall of public opinion.

There will be a tipping point.

Whether that tipping point will be the House and Senate being forced to impeach him by the voting public, or much worse, by force, it will come.

With Romney in charge, we still move to the left, albeit, at a slower pace, but there will be no effort by the GOP to stop it.

The conservatives (better known as the base) will flee the GOP as Romney (with the acquiessence of the GOP Congress) implements policies and laws that are anti-thetical to conservatives and the GOP will be destroyed, much like it was in MA with Romney.

First of all, as I pointed out in a previous post, your conclusion that they have not had a spine is incorrect.

Secondly, your conclusion that we both know that is true is pure hyperbole.

Neither Obama or Mitt Romney are fit to be President.

Both will destroy our individual liberties and freedoms.

The long term damage from a Romney Presidency, the destruction of the GOP, is far worse that what Obama can do.

Romney's destruction may take 4 to 8 years, but in the long run, it will lead to total domination by the Democrats.
