It's overwhelmingly likely that, even with an Obama win, the Republicans will keep the House. That will greatly limit the damage Obama can do.Quite frankly, they have not limited the damage Obama is doing, especially with Boehner at the helm.So , it is very doubtful a GOP led House alone will limit O bama. They can't find their testicles now, so there is little hope they will find them after 1/1/13.
We really ned the Senate as well, and hey, look at that firecracker Mitch McConnell. Wow, the Dems quake when he comes in to the room//s.
That McConnell cannot make Reid look like the Searchlight NV village idiot that he is, is very telling.
I really don't care what my vote accomplishes or how it is labeled as long as the prime directive is met: the defeat and removal of Obama and his utterly corrupt Administration from office on 1/20/13.
If that is not accomplished because a bunch of folks sat on their hands bemoaning the GOP nominee, then nothing else will matter. There won't be a free America to worry about any longer.
The clear and present danger is upon us now. And there are only 99 days in which to affect the outcome.
As for Boehner and McConnell, let me say delicately that they would not be my first choices for the leadership posts. Nor my second. Nor my third. Etc.
BUT it goes too far to say that the House hasn't limited the damage that Obama is doing. The Republican capture of the House was the only reason the Bush tax cuts were extended. The biggest steps of the Obama administration, namely the stimulus and Obamacare, were passed when the Dems had the House. Neither bill would have a hope of succeeding now. Just through party loyalty, the House Republicans will block major lefty proposals from Obama.
I agree with you that Boehner/McConnell "can't find their testicles now, so there is little hope they will find them after 1/1/13." That's a reason not to support Romney, though. When President Romney proposes a liberal bill -- so that he can look like "moderate Mitt" and win media praise and cruise to re-election -- will Congressional Republicans say no to him, as they've repeatedly said no to Obama? I don't think they will.
My bottom line is that I disagree with your conclusion that, if Obama wins, "There won't be a free America to worry about any longer." I think there will be a 2016 election and a genuine conservative will have an excellent chance.
