...do you honestly think this country will be better off if Obama is re-elected, as opposed to Romney, and are you willing to accept that consequence.

Absolutely. And of course. I assume you refuse to accept this premise, but I will tell you why anyway. A Romney presidency will be a placeholder presidency. Romney will not work to remove Obamacare; he will try to work around the edges. Romney will not appoint conservative justices; he will appoint justices that are palatable to the leftists. In other words, Romney will behave exactly as he behaved when he was governor of Massachusetts.

And the Republicans in the House and Senate will be severely disinclined to fight the leader of their party.

But that is not the worst part. The worst part is what will happen after the Romney inauguration. The person leading the inaugural ceremonies next January is Senator Chuck Schumer. Seconds after the inauguration has ended, Schumer will run to the cameras (as is his wont) and announce to the country that "It's Romney's economy now!"

From that moment on, the DemocRATs and their lapdogs in the media will work to put the entire blame for the economic collapse on Romney and the Republicans. Then, in 2016, the DemocRATs will come roaring back with the message "We TOLD YOU SO!"

At least with Obama and strong Republican majorities in the House and Senate, Obama can be contained - and the Republicans WILL be inclined to do that.

Of course, I assume you will dismiss my reasoning, because for some reason you believe that an Obama presidency would be much much worse. Believe what you want - but stop browbeating us conservatives who know what kind of a man Romney is.

At least we can still fight for Newt. Maybe God will bless our nation and prevent Romney from being the candidate.

Like they have been for the past 3 years while he flat out says he doesn't need them and will do it without them and proceeds to do so. I cannot even imagine what he would do as a lame duck. The past 3 years x 1000. Obama to Congress: I don’t Need Your Stinkin' Approval. KMA and Get Out of my way. Photobucket

I have not “browbeaten” anyone..I have merely posed a qustion that needed to be asked, and you have answered it cogently and succintly. I have no problem with your argument..it does have some merits, but in the overall “big picture” I think you are wrong. We shall find out soon.
