I’m counting on congress to keep romney in check. I don’t think they can do it to Obama unless they get two-thirds of the senate so that impeachment is a real threat. I’m not counting on that.
Hussein will rule by executive order if he is re-elected.
Then you're failing to see the basic dynamics at work here.
If Romney is elected, he becomes the de facto leader of the Republican party. A Republican dominated Congress will not oppose their 'boss', but they'll surely oppose the other team's 'boss'.
Given that both Romney and Obama have virtually the same agenda, which 'boss' is more likely to get his agenda through Congress? Which 'boss' is more likely to see the long knives come out, should he attempt to bypass Congress? Which 'boss' is more likely to engender elevated opposition to his Socialist agenda from the center-right public?
Do you see the simplicity of this now?
