I really do agree with you. My own hopes rest with a conservative congress.

The judge appointee argument doesn’t sway me to support Romney because I don’t believe he can be trusted to appoint good judges.

My main concern is Obama’s executive orders. He’s proved that, if he can’t get it done through congress, he’ll get it done with the wave of a pen.

I also believe that Romney can be persuaded by a resolute congress and an aware public to sign off on a lot of the conservative agenda. Obama won’t give an inch.

My main concerns are the economy and security. Without those things, we have nothing.

Your hopes are mine as well.

We have to face reality. We are where we are and our choices are set in stone. So, we must look at the long term consequences of the choice we ultimately make.

Like the analogy of turning a large ship, we cannot hope to undo a lot of the damage done in one election. But, we have made a good start since 08 of putting in place real conservatives and have many more running for Congress this year.

Romney is not my first, second or third choice, but he is THE ONLY alternative to Obama. Obama will not be controlled by a Republican House and Senate. If he is reelected, he will see that as carte blanche to do whatever he wants.

We must put the brakes on now and continue to be vigilant and work for more conservative voices in D.C. in the future. Obama must be defeated. Period.
