Well if the Senate gets more conservatives, then at least, with the House, they can put MItt’s feet to the fire.
I hear this argument thrown around a lot. Is there really good historic precedence for this idea? Is there a time that a conservative congress held a moderate president's feet to the fire?
Using George W. Bush as the most recent example the theory seems to be pretty weak. The Republicans under bush spent like drunken sailors as well as passing the Patriot Act and making our airports “safer.”
P.S Just asking an honest question. I'm not trying to institute any truce-breaking violence.
I'd also say that something is fishy about these delayed endorsements. I suppose they have been haggling over the price.
Hear that a lot, there is no history to support it.

I’ve been watching politics since Nixon was in office. I can count on one hand the number of times that a GOP congress didn’t cave when the GOP President wanted to do something leftwing. If we could get a conservative majority not just a GOP majority, I’d agree with you. Meanwhile, This election is what it is. Obama is so bad that I can understand wanting him out at any cost. I just think we conservatives need to go in with both eyes wide open, not pretending that Mitt isn’t also the enemy.
