Obama in this first term is just short of crossing a line into out and out tyranny. If he where to go further in a second term “we the people” would have to throw him out of office either by impeachment, and I still think since he is not qualified all that is needed is to arrest him, or by vigilante justice.
Romney on the other hand will hold right where we are at, just short of tyranny. Taxes will go up, Obama care will not go away. The EPA will not be slowed down let alone ended and TSA will continue to run over our rights.
Which way are we better of?
Mitt would give a Republican dominated Congress more breathing room to operate, and most of them will not go for Mitt’s more liberal notions. I don’t understand why anyone would expect a Republican dominated Congress to have a serious squabble even with Mitt about how to squash Obamacare. It’s such an unpopular turd and it is wasting money on its counterproductive mission as we speak. Mitt has never waffled on the notion that Romneycare like plans should be initiated from the state end, and never the Federal one.
We know what we will be getting with obama...absolute destruction of our country. We don’t know with mitt. We expect destruction of a somewhat lesser degree, but how much less we don’t know. I say roll the dice on the lesser destruction and pray for much less destruction.
Obama is loathed by a whole helluva lot of Americans, even -- maybe especially -- by those who voted for him last time. If Obama wins with a 34% plurality, he's going to have a miserable, weak, combative presidency, when 66% of the votes cast were cast against him. Americans would be pissed at Obama and the Democrats and Republicans. Conservatives would win a major battle, and Congress would go hard right. You think there's rebellion in the air now?
That's how we're better off. Unless, of course, you are paralyzed by Omnipotent Obamaitis, which immediately makes the sufferer roll over to a Republican who agrees philosophically and has a record to prove it, with Obama on five major issues: global warming, abortion, the homosexual agenda, activist judges, and nationalized health care. "Uncle - stop, UNCLE! Obama's worse!"
If it's O vs R, I'm voting third party for the express purpose of doing what I can with my vote to make whichever socialist wins, Obama or Romney, has the biggest vote count AGAINST him, and I'm praying Romney loses, as he is actually the greater evil.
