[Mr. Silverback]

I have come to respect you greatly over the years and I am saddened at your profound lack of wisdom here. Even if your premise was correct (and it's not) you're saying we have a choice between the GOP establishment and a Marxist who will deep six our economy permanently, possibly on purpose.

Getting Obama out of the White House is almost certainly a matter of national survival. Vote accordingly.

The main thing that keeps me - barely - on the Romney side is the SCOTUS.

The main argument against a Romney victory lies in the cycle enunciated by one Alexander Tytler:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

The more quickly we can pass through the apathy/dependence/bondage phase, the sooner real rebuilding can begin.
