Expect sabotage from the Federal Bureaucracy, as we saw under the Bush EPA and CIA, but even more. Obama has been funneling leftists into the Federal Government with a fire hose.

One of my doubts about Romney is whether he recognizes this and whether he'll have the cojones to fire zillions of Lefties in the Federal Government. Bush did not. Part of his failure as President...

Precisely. This is something that has bothered me ever since it became clear that Romney would be the Republican nominee, and therefore, the de facto 45th president.

If Romney leaves Obama's federal appointees in place throughout his administration, he may as well kiss a second term and any hope of restoring America good bye. His authority and agenda will be undermined and sabotaged in thousands of different ways from day one.

I know how much he's spoken of 'working across the aisle', but that had better be a bunch of campaign blather, uttered to soothe the nerves of the independents. He's got to adopt the exact opposite tone as soon as he's sworn in, if he intends to actually take command as a president should. The leftists, both appointed and elected, will do everything they can to stop him.

Check out this article on Sen. Vitter already firing a shot across the USS Romney about appointing a moderate to head the EPA.

Romney has the opportunity to be greater than Reagan in taming the Federal Government. If he doesn't, you are absolutely correct, he will fail. He will fail and destroy the Republican Party. This is the GOP's last chance. They'll have all three political branches and they better take action, take action fast and do big things to reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government. "Reform" ain't gonna cut it. They've been "reforming" big government for decades and it never sticks. You can only cut government authority, not beg them to behave themselves. The Democrats are already lawless, you can't keep them in the bureaucracy and say: "Now boys, play by the rules." They have one rule: Power. The only solution is to take away the power by abolishing their departments.

I've seen Romney's stump speech several times and he talks about "worker re-training"? WTF? He talks about putting the choice in education to parents. Ah, let's abolish the Department of Education, cut the spending, cut taxes and let parents fight at the state and local levels. It's NOT a federal issue.
