I get what you are saying. And it’s true every election is hyped up.
But I can’t see how 4 more years of Obama would leave us better off in any way even if Romney and Boner fail to repeal this (or just don’t as many seen to believe they are outright lying and have no such intention).
A justice quits or dies, maybe Romney effs up and puts another Roberts in his place or maybe Romney is an a-hole and appoints a Sotomayor on purpose cause he really is a liberal ideologue and not just a corporate establishment RINO like Bush (albeit with a troubling social liberal past that Bush lacked).
Obama erases all doubt of what would happen. Obama wins and Obamacare stays, maybe forever.
Unless in the unlikely event a GOP Senate would block his choice if Scalia trips in the shower in the next 4 years take every 5-4 that went our way and turn it around. Different America? If Stevens quits there goes our last chance to flip a seat for a while.
Even if the worst is true I’ve got more than enough incentive to vote Republican this year.
Hell, having that bitch have ONE-TERMER next to his name is reason enough on it’s own. Spite. Spite. Spite.
Stevens quit two years ago. Maybe you meant Ginsburg or Breyer.
Look at it this way then , Romney has to fear us. Obama never will. You don't want a liberal like Romney to think he has Republicans vote ‘in the bag’ because you know how much damage he can do with the Republican official stamp of approval. Remember 2007 and 2008.
The main advantage of NOT having Republicans in charge is that in the minority they actually oppose liberal policies, even if in the case of McCain and Grahamnesty they don't even really mean it. When they are in charge they promote the same policies and they bring many Republicans with them.
Look at Romney on the Obam-ney Care mandate as a tax argument, he can't even agree that it's a tax (legally). He is a crappy candidate and the Romney primary RINOs are starting to get worried.
Obviously Obama as POTUS is a disaster but it is not my disaster.
