If Obama's re-elected because of Republican apathy, he will get to name a couple SCOTUS judges, his EPA will continue to shut down our energy production, Holder will still be at Justice, the disastrous Panetta will run the military, and countless thousands of faceless Obama-appointed bureaucrats will be doing their damage in small ways every day.

Don't tell me that you honestly believe that Willard is going do anything substantially different than Obama has. If you honestly do believe that, then you haven't read his record.

I wouldn't vote for Obama with your hand, but I won't give my precious vote to Willard Romney, either. I refuse to give up my last shred of self integrity by willingly choosing to vote for a man who is nothing more than a liberal Democrat posing as a Republican.

Put your thinking cap on, man. We're going to have a Republican dominated Congress, no matter what happens in the presidential election. If Obama is re-elected, the Congress will oppose him tooth and nail. If Romney is elected, they're much more likely to 'go along to get along' with the de facto leader of their party. That means signing off on damn near every quisling liberal thing he wants.

I know it's a raw deal all around, but we've got to look at this with logic and reason. I still have hope that somehow Newt will pull off a miracle in a brokered convention, but that's just a slim hope at best. If he can't, the above calculus is what we have to face, and it ain't pretty.

I know. It makes me want to scream too.

Are you seriously trying to convince me that I shouldn't vote for Romney instead of sitting home? Put your thinking cap on, man. If you bothered to read my post, I explained all the things a president Obama could accomplish even with a Republican congress -- namely the cabinet departments and the bureaucracy.

And I do not, for a moment, buy your opinion that there is no difference between Romney and Obama. There is. Romney doesn't hate his country. He may be too liberal for our tastes, but he doesn't hate the United States.

It's a sad reason, perhaps, to vote for him. But it's enough.

“If Obama is re-elected, the Congress will oppose him tooth and nail”

That would be the case if the “GOP” in congress actually had a pair.
