Personally, I see no way to reconcile the two. I agree with those saying that being critical hurts Romney, however if we all just fall in line and pull for ‘our’ boy we lose the ability to back up any attempts to hold him to the fire.

Agreed. Further, even if we do get a great, slam-bang, uber-conservative Congress, it still isn't going to do much good with Romney in office, because the newbies will just fall into line and "go Washington" in a short period of time, since "nobody wants to embarrass our own Part's President!!!"

Unless we get a GOP Congress that IS willing to embarrass a President Romney, it will be just as all over for the country as if Obama had won re-election. A GOP Congress must be willing to assert itself and override Romney's vetos, refuse to advance his legislation, and vote down or filibuster his judges, unless what he is proposing is somehow miraculously inline with conservative, constitutionalist principles.

Yeah, I don't hold high hopes for that happening, either, especially after seeing how a GOP Congress worked hand-in-glove with Dubya to increase the size and scope of government to its greatest extent (at that time) ever.

They don't call them the Resluglicans for nothing, y'know.
