Obama is one part of the larger problem. The fact that congress and the Supremes allowed their power to be usurped is the reall problem. Obama could have been stopped anywhere along the way and still could. But congress refused to do so. As do the Supremes (Diana Rooss notwithstanding ;).

In all seriousness however, The congress they will not reel in someone like Obama will surely give a free hand to ‘one of their own. You still believe that Romney is incapable of simmilar actions when his record is crystal clear that he is. You have also not addressed that Obama’s pre election history was one of nothing. His senate/state career was as hollow as a beach ball. But Romney’s was not. He has a head start and has repeatedly shown the desire to ignore his voters and legislate to appease special interests/donors.

To put such man in power with a castrated congress and thinking he will somehow magically repent of his prior governance is a fantasy, Lake. But he will win. And we are all going to discover which of us is right.

Just how many politicos of Romney’s stripe, throughout history, need to turn dictator before you see a pattern? But moreso, until we have a congress willing to do their jobs, it really doesn’t matter who is elected. Because they’re all/will be kings at this point.

Norm, what you will be doing is insuring Bambi's reelection, which is simply unthinkable as an alternative. You'll also help defeat # 2 and 3 below as an unintended consequence.

You are guessing what Romney will do, but you don't know. You are claiming they are the same which is fatuous nonsense.

I don't like our position but it has to be as follows:

1. Get rid of the scourge and his minions (only one way to do that, Jack).
2. Elect as many conservatives to congress, and help the GOP take the senate.
3. Work like hell to keep their feet to the fire and hope we can survive another four years.

Yes, and I suspect that by that time, we will all sadly be in agreement about Romney.
