As a conservative, tea party(?), person...did you or did you not lose your voice yesterday in the GOP?

If republicans contol the house and senate, and they vote to repeal Obamacare, then I have to believe that he would go along to repeal it.
He has campaigned on the repeal.
Again a chance with Romney and absolutely no chance with Obama.

That is a lie. What does it take to override a veto? With a republican controlled house & senate AND many dems. knowing that 0bamacare is really bad...do you not believe and override could not occur? Second, do you really Romney is going to repeal it? I think he is lieing to get your vote. It will get tweeked, not overturned. And the GOP will all pat themselves on the back....

Any, and I repeat, ANY Conservative could have won.

Mr. RomneyCARE will lose.

Why? AMERICANS HATE ROMNEYCARE/OBAMACARE by 80%.
HATE IT.

But, the stupid and corrupt GOP selected
—— (by destroying all the conservatives) ——
the very AUTHOR of ROMNEYCARE/OBAMACARE and Death Panels.

No one should be surprised at the result coming.

Nerves are tight until obama is gone,

Right you are. Only about 70ish days to go....December and Beginning January ought to be interesting with him trying to pass everything under the sun for his last horrah.

I’m re-reading my own copy, but I can’t find where the office of President has THAT kind of power. Maybe, JUST maybe, if Congress did THEIR job those now backing Mr. Doublespeak wouldn’t be kissing his ass.

Down ticket only for myself. If the Congress doesn’t do anything to turn the tide (as they haven’t since ‘10), what’s a R/R win going to do for the Republic that 4 yrs. of Dumbo hasn’t already done?

I’ll eat crow when a department is dismantled...Hell, ANY law/regulation/committee/etc. is given the pink-slip.

Go peddle your panic somewhere else and enjoy the Rino-aide. Party lemming I am not.

Not a RINO or a kool-aid drinker.

Right now we are in a period of transtition right now, so I am not surprised by the fighting right now.

But remember this, we have a bigger fight on our hands to save this country. I am now done debating.

Here is a very good piece that came through my email today - I very much like the tone, And the part of the country it originated from. Very heartening, which I really needed after yesterday, because I was one unhappy camper after that outrageous display by the GOPe : |

I am hearing that! And for what it is worth, I don’t get the impression that Mitt is a potted plant kind of a guy : o Our job, will be to keep him busy with the ECONOMY, and to remind him that we are sending these two gentlemen to REDUCE the size of government.

Like Newt, I pray that Romney sees that this is his opportunity to do something great for his country - to begin the return of it to the vision of the Founders.

Blessings.

I did see it. They may be shutting us out during this convention but we are hardly down and out. A few more election cycles to keep getting ours in there and it won’t be so easy for them to pull that little stunt again.

Step by step, we are making gains.

Here. try his one.

I'm patiently waiting for the day...and if it never comes, at least romney will buy us some time to measure the young guns who will be swept into Congress and elsewhere because of her. Then in 2016 or next time, we will have the edge we need. We didn't get here in 5 yrs or even 10. This has been coming for decades.

Well I believe it takes 294 votes in the house and 67 in the senate to override the veto. Assuming we get 51 republican senators, I have absolutely no faith in getting 16 dem senators to vote for the override. Do you really think 16 dems are going to go against a president Obama on the veto override??

Not any conservative could have won...but any good conservative candidate would have won. I agree with you on the terrible selection of romney, but he does have a chance to win. the election will be about Obama not Romney.

Mr. RomneyCARE has no chance.
HE WAS CHOSEN TO POISON THE GOP TICKET.

First, Americans HATE RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.

Second, watch as the the MSM will make this election
about Romney’s belief he is a god — and his underwear.
They have been preparing for this since they demanded
and engineered Romney’s empowerment by the GOPe.

“...the day after the election, the GOP must be either discarded or co-opted.”

Spot on.
