I am hoping the twisted logic that would bring Obama back for another four years is confined to a small but rabidly vocal group here.
This election, given the Chicago-style efforts of Obama, has little enough chance to defeat him no matter who runs, without a bunch of kids taking their ball and going home if they don’t get their way in the primary. And this will likely be the last free election of a once free country if Obama does win - he and the powers behind him will see to that. Holding both houses of Congress will do nothing more than the Maginot Line in WWII to stop his tyranny.
“twisted logic “
It’s not twisted, considering w/have a three-branch government including a split legislature (house/senate).
It seems to me, the more bills that get through congress, the more I’m screwed.
When there’s different parties running the various parts, less bills get through and I am henceforth screwed less.
So in fact it would be you who are whining that not everyone wants to be pragmatic.
Voting third party or what not is simply a vote for stalemate.
That’s what I think we need, since we don’t have a candidate that will “undo” damage that’s been done.
My personal belief is that the pragmatism you demonstrate is a big part of the problem, not the solution.
Sometimes it’s ok to be pragmatic, but I’m not willing to do it for this one.
I vote for stalemate!
We can’t even argue that we’d at least get conservative Supreme Court Justices with Romney vs. Obama. With Bush you could at least comfort yourself with that thought as you held your nose and voted for the lesser of 2 evils. No hope of getting rule-of-law judges here with Romney, so that’s the final straw.
