“Don’t go it. Be positive!!!”
You don’t understand he *IS* being positive.
Many freepers hate Romney so much, that they’re ok with an Obama second term. The line of thinking is: “America has to hit bottom before it can be fixed.”
Clearly, I disagree with that line of thought.
they may ‘hate’Romney as you say, I doubt it.
They hate Obama’s radical, extremist, rhetoric, and policies, more.
Some of us think that a Romney first term would be the same as a Obama’s second term. It’s hard to look at Romney’s record of how he governed and think much different.
To better understand that mindset, study the election of Gov. Pataki (R) in NY. Huge, albeit obligatory, support from the Right ... and he got thru more of the Left’s agenda than any (D) ever did or could. The Right was stunned. The concern is that a (D) gets automatic opposition ... but a “centrist” (R) will garner enough Right-wing support to pass any & all Left-wing bills.
No question the options suck. “ABO” is quite sensible. Alas, choosing the lesser of two evils still gets you evil ... and some of us aren’t, for good reason, clear on which is worse.
