Romney is as disgusting to me as just about anything I can imagine. I hate the R leadership and “pro-life” groups that handed him to us on a stick. He has laid the way for sharia in MA and has no concept of Constitutional governance. If he is elected and doesn’t have a good sound conservative Congress to force his hand, he will be a cancer that kills this country

I don’t think we have the luxury of thinking about cancer right now, though - because as it is we have had both arms and both legs blown to bits and will totally bleed out and die within the next year if not sooner, if we do not apply a tourniquet.

At this point even a tourniquet covered in turd would be better than nothing. The best we can do is use (elect) the turd-covered tourniquet and at the same time apply massive amounts of antibiotic in the form of a conservative veto-proof Congress, to keep the turd on the tourniquet from infecting us to death. If we could somehow miraculously come up with a tourniquet that wasn’t covered in turd, the choice would be easy. But if we are only given the choice of bleeding out immediately or using a gross tourniquet, the tourniquet would at least buy us some time to try to recover. The alternative is a decision to commit suicide.

We can vote for Romeny and get him elected which will stop the hemororging.. Then the next 4 years we HOLD HIM accountable and if he doesn’t what we want, we primary him....

I believe we are over our 1000'th day without the Senate passing a budget. At one point the conservatives in Congress were ready to shut down the government to get a budget passed. A handful of genuine conservatives were trying to hold that line. Remember Boehner telling them to get their asses in line? Eventually they did. And here we are past 1000. If they can't hold their own against Obama and the Senate (democrat leadership), you can not reasonable expect them to hold their own against one who presumes to be, who was elected as, one of their own. There is not even a faint possibility that "holding his feet to the fire" will be a successfully strategy. The alternative is not suicide ... the alternative is to throw the tea in the harbor. It's worked before. The Republican Party was born of no less initiative.
