That is not the viewpoint of a conservative.

Yes, it is. No conservative would prefer Sotomayor and Kagan to Kennedy.

See, I can make worthless blanket statements also.

If you walk away from that commitment,

Non-sequitur. I'm not walking away from a commitment to life by preferring Kennedy to Sotomayor/Kagan.

“’Anybody But Obama’— The Most Dangerous Three Words in America Today”

I have zero use for Libertarians. However, I fully agree with the writer on this statement.

Hi, GE. I’m more cynical about the Repub party. I believe that they actively oppose conservatism and want to impose 3rd way social corporatism.

I’ve been around a long time now, and the tea leaves say that Mitt Romney is the nominee and won’t be prevented from that.

That’s why the GOP is hopeless...will be for decades now.

I dislike the Libertarian Party and will not vote for Gary Johnson, but this analysis is spot on about Romney.

Everyone here should re-read this section about a dozen times:

The ObamaCare “repeal” will go down like this: House Republicans will pass a repeal bill. Senate Democrats will block it. There will be lots of tense moments and sparring through the media as the White House and House straw men and -women wage a wink-and-a-nudge “battle” with the Democrats. Romney (D-Mass.) will concede defeat and blame the Democrats, who will claim victory. The Republicans will save face with their base by fighting the “good fight,” as will the Democrats. Next, Romney (D-Mass.) will take charge of “fixing” it. Democrats will concede that it needs improvement. Campaign donors will draft “revisions” that will benefit the donors, and both parties will agree to those amendments. There will be some token resistance on certain provisions to keep America fleeced into thinking that we have a functioning Two-Party system.

Read it and weep because that's exactly what's going to happen.

We can only hope that Scotus strikes it down in its entirety.

Otherwise, the quote you posted, and I agree with you, is gonna be really close to how it will go.

That's our only hope at this point. The second Romney became the nominee, we pretty much locked in socialized medicine in this country. The idiots out there (and in here) just haven't figured it out yet.

It is quite clear that if Scotus doesn’t strike it down or strikes down only the mandate, that there will not be enough republicans in the senate to override a dem filibuster.

Therefore, it will stay on the books.

Buried deep inside this blather is a simple statment that explains everything:
As a card-carrying Libertarian working on the Gary Johnson campaign, naturally I hope you join us.

Have him declare himself pro-life instead of limited pro-choice (as he calls it), and I’ll pray about it.

He’s right, these last two years under Øbama have been much better than if we had Romney in the White House.
