Well said. We all want to find a silver lining here, but the sad fact is that there is none.
First and foremost, Romney is a weak candidate who, of elected will break our hearts without mercy. Second, SCOTUS has now codified this concept as law which will forever change the ways laws are written henceforth not to mention how every court up and down the line will interpret any given law.
Yes, it is possible to elect Republican across the board in November, but that sure is no guarantee (think McCain, Bohner, Graham). And then what? The next time Democrats seize control there will be NOTHING to stop them. Think how Democrats blatantly defied the public will to force ObamaCare. Does anyone thing they will not be even more brazen in their next big reach?
I really hate to be so gloomy, but I fear we have lost the Republic.

The Republic died somewhere in the 19th Century. The mask of that Republic fell off of the face of the Imperium today.
This is not a free country, and we are not a free people. We haven’t been for a while now, but today puts formal expression to our helplessness - as long as we play their game by their rules.

I agree. If Romney is elected, we will have Obama lite. We are in a no-win situation.
