Well, I’ve had that argument a dozen or so times here and elsewhere and it goes nowhere. Voting for Romney so that we didn’t get another four0bama was, to me, urgent.
I don’t see what kind of guts it takes to make these kind of arguments. Repubs get dumped on yesterday, now, and tomorrow. Whether they are nice or cantankerous.
By the way, I forgot to mention in my analogy list the imminent prospect of a multi-billion dollar insurance company bailout. It certainly won’t be the size of the banking bailout but it will be in high tens of billions, that is a certainty.
