RE :” But if Romney beats him in November we are screwed anyway.”.....
Obama gets back in, it is CW2, or the country is finished

That would sound better if we had a real alternative.

I obviously cant predict exactly what a liberal Romney POTUS would be like, but rather than go through 4 years like the last two of GWB, as he sold us out to Dems on issue after issue making Republicans own those liberal positions he took, all while becoming more and more un-popular with EVERYONE dragging down all Republicans with him,and making Dems like Pelosi poll higher than them on EVERY issue including taxes and WOT, I would rather have Obama than that especially if he is blocked in congress.

That type of presidency above would give us another 2009 and 2010 (in 2017) and Dems will really get things done the second time.

Gilbo will defend me here, I hope :)

Looks to me like Obama is NOT blocked in congress WRT spending, but Romney certainly could turn out to be a very compassionate "conservative," or whatever he is.

Scalia and Kennedy will be 76 YO, Thomas 64 this year. The former 2 might stay healthy 4 more years (that would make them 80 by the end of Obama's 2nd term). But I have absolutely NO confidence that the GOP would block an Obama SCOTUS nomination. Romney might appoint decent justices, but he might not.

mittens [like the last of W] is the setup for disaster indeed...SOL has been pretty consistent in reading the political tea leaves, and i believe that this would be our *best* case scenario...

the whole setup of 'lesser of evils' tells me that we are being played to choose our own method of suicide...either way, we die...

the ballot isnt designed to vote 'against' a candidate...ive never found that option in the booth...

i wont vote 'for' bambam or his kissin cousin type statist pol brethren...

if [when] bambam gets his lame duck term, the mask and pressure ratchet up, and *maybe* he oversteps enuff to startle the herd and find the pushback line...

we'll know shortly...
