If Romney is elected, do you trust him NOT to enact some sort of national medical care scheme? If he tries, do you think he will be effectively blocked by a) opposition Demonrat Senators; 2) GOP elitist windtunnel senators named above or their ilk; 3) normal GOP senators; or 4) by no one because the GOP senators will say that Mitt is the captain of "our team" and deserving of their support?
Now, same questions as to SCOTUS appointments:
Assume Obozo's re-election and that he appoints another Elena Kagan or Sonia Sotomayor (say a 45-year old communist menace or Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Princess Lieawatha, who, if anyone will block the nomination?
Assume instead that Romney is elected and nominates another David "Swish" Souter, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, William Brennan, Earl Warren, or even Herod Blackmun to SCOTUS, which senators will seek to block that nomination by the captain or "our team?"
If you candidly and honestly answer just those two questions, you will understand why many conservatives are NOT going to guzzle the RINO Kool Aid and vote for Myth.
Painful though manhood may be for them, the GOP Senators may have to grow a pair and they will NOT grow a pair under Romney acting as the "captain of our team." The GOP is essentially a monarchist Party like the Whigs and Federalists before them. Their brains short circuit in the presence of evils perpetrated by any GOP POTUS, no matter how bad.
Sorry. Meant to ping you to #284
You are making it up and getting it wrong.
GOP Senators blocked Bush on both amnesty and Harriet Meiers.
The FR He-Man Mitt Hater Club catechism is always predicated on wild and historically unsupported pronouncements about what craven acts everyone but the Mitt Haters are sure to do in the future.
It is arrogance, narcissism and good old BS masquerading as political analysis.
Stuff it.
