Ah, but what you characterize as a ‘sturdy GOP House and Senate’ suddenly becomes wimps and yes men if Romney is in the White House.

Absolutely correct. Which is why a Romney win would be more of a disaster than an Obama win. Republicans in the House and Senate would be extremely disinclined to go against the leader of their party, as he drags us further towards our Greek economic destiny.

A Romney Presidency? Hang on, Thelma! Here goes America! Wheee!

So you admit that this ‘sturdy’ is an inaccuracy used to tip the scales of reasoning but not reasonable in the final analysis? Got it. About what one expects in these discussions between polarized factions.
