Unrealistic reality? -- Sigh/You aren't listening to what I am saying.
The fact that you even entertain the idea Romney would govern like Obama is ludicrous.
I'm not saying he'd govern like Obama; but that he would do nothing [significant] to undo what Obama has done. The whole "issue waivers to all 50 states" idea is exactly that... but hey, you really should let that lull you into a false sense of security because, after all, Romney (or some future future President) would never threaten extortion via rescinding the waver[s]! No! They're as pure as the Holy Virgin covered in snow and topped with gold atoms!
It's like the whole false sense of security that Posse Comitaeus is: the Constitution specifically allows for the militia to "enforce the laws of the Union." (And yes, that can be applied to the active-military: they too are citizens, and through the magic of subsets, part of the militia.)
Furthermore, it sounds as though you do not have a firm grasp on what 4 more years of Obama would do to this country.
It sounds to me like you do not have a firm grip on what a false sense of security (to wit: Romney) will do to the country. These statists want you to think "Yay! We got someone on our side in!" because, let's face it, it'll keep you from getting fighting-mad. I say again, appeasing you and the Republicans, plays into the hands of the Statists because it releases your anger 'safely'.
Again, let me ask: what about Romney gives you even the hope that he will reduce the size and scope of government? What makes you think that he will encourage fiscal responsibility/accountability? Moreover, what makes you think that he is for capitalism, real capitalism, and not fascistic crony capitalism?
Alright, this is a fair question, BUT misses my point completely. My answer to your question is Romney will NOT reduce the size of gov't. But, that's not what matters at THIS POINT! Although, I believe Romney most certainly will try to repeal Obamacare.
Let's agree on one thing: We will either have Obama another 4 years or Romney. Those are the ONLY two realistic choices for POTUS.
And my point is Romney is not an anti-capitalist, American Idea hater. Among my choice for POTUS I have to do what I can legally to remove a person who is trying to destroy the greatest way of life and political system on the face of this earth and in the history of the world. Voting for Romney, even though it pains me so is the ONLY alternative.
