So far nobody in Congress has been willing to stand up against Obama and his anti-Consitutional way of governing!

Who will be the first to do so??? Or are they all going to roll over and play dead like they did during his first term???

Stand up and do what exactly? People keep saying this as if there aren't good conservatives in Congress standing up to Obama all the time. The problem isn't that no one is standing up to him, they just don't have the power to do anything. As an elected official, you can't just start yelling and screaming about Obama. That is counter productive. That sort of thing sounds crazy, and people generally won't get behind an opposition party that sound nuts (like, for example, Alex Jones did the other night).

The time to stop Obama was at the ballot box. The right is so divided that we couldn't even get everyone here to vote for the only candidate (Romney) that could have prevented Hussein from winning a 2nd term. Obama won re-election and even Rasmussen polling of Likely Voters shows the majority of Americans are with Obama. They like him, they want to keep liking him, they don't want to hear anything bad about him - and there is not a thing we can do to really stop Obama unless or until we have the majority of people behind us.

Conservatives better find a way to unify pretty quick or we are sunk. That means social conservatives are probably not going to get much of an emphasis on social issues going forward, and it means the growing movement of libertarian leaning conservatives among us are going to have to bite the bullet and drop the insistence on isolationist foreign and defense policies. It is clear our main focus needs to be on debt, curtailing the growth of government, diminishing the entitlement state, etc. If everyone keeps demanding their version of a pure candidate or party, we are going to keep letting the left run circles around us.
