I'd hardly call pointing out the irrefutably obvious singing Romney's praises.
Like most Freepers, Romney was my fifth choice, but he's who we ended up with, and for the first four years, at least, we can hold his feet to the fire.
We're not going to be able to hold up a SCOTUS nomination for 3 years, so The One will be able to put whatever commie/muzzy he wants to.
Per the "gay seat", you're forgetting Elena Kagan, are you not?
It’s called ‘brow beating’, a favorite hack methodology of Milt Rominy haters, used to try and squelch ANYthing positive about the Mormon high priest who appears to be the pubby nominee to run against little barry bastard commie and hisd thugocracy.
No, just celebrating in my wry way, the liberal capacity for double- and treble-counting, or undercounting, or not counting at all, depending on what the situation calls for. Flexible, aren't they?
[BLL] The Senate will never stand up to Obama like that. Too many of "our" guys are willing to compromise to avoid the bad PR that would ensue. Remember, we had a Republican Senate and a Republican president and we still got the "Gang of 14" compromise in 2005.
Perhaps you've forgotten the ramrod the Tea Party has been not-so-gently inserting in Senate Republicans' optorectal cavities. Bennett, Lugar, and pretty soon Kay Bailey Hutchison are all going to be replaced by RiNO-proof Tea Party candidates, and there are other examples as well.
The prospect of being primaried for rolling over for Barky will be the "stiffereen" the GOP senators require -- that, and a majority (hopefully, 67 strong, so we can move immediately to the task of removing the Pres_ent from his White Hut squats, and put a real President in office).
Depriving McConnell of the Senate Republican leadership would be another great step toward the Senate's asserting some responsibility for a change. But what is happening so far is, I think (IMHO), sufficient to produce the manful, principled resistance that has been nonexistent since 2009.
