How are we going to control him when he's the team captain?
If you want a mutiny (and you surely had better want one), you stand a far greater chance of one getting started under a captain that the whole crew hates with a passion, than you do with one who half the crew is lamely trusting to do the right thing.
Republicans will probably become the majority in both the House and Senate this year. They will lock arms against an avowed enemy (Obama), but they will play nice with someone who they view as the leader of their own party.
Obama and Romney have near-identical records in office. There's hardly a dime's worth of difference between them. If Romney is elected, we stand a far greater chance that Obama's Socialist agenda will go forward, than if The Great Evil himself is in office still pushing it against the opposition party in Congress.
This is the fundamental dynamic at work here. It's not pretty to look at, but if you have any intention of winning in the long term, you have to face that, and strategize accordingly.
I’m betting that he is shit skeered of mutiny.
Obama desires it.
Here is the difference in my mind.
Romney has a liberal record because he governed a liberal state and that’s what you gotta do in libville to get elected again.
Obama is a shyster community organizer to his very core.
I understand there is like 1° of separation between these clowns
Given the two I’ll take my chances on that 1° and I’ll knuckle down on it by putting every conservative in the Gov to remind him of his slim record.
While there are some good comments in the thread, this one “Republicans will probably become the majority in both the House and Senate this year. They will lock
arms against an avowed enemy (Obama), but they will play nice with someone who they view as the
leader of their own party.” is not believable. Obama and Romney will have coattails and Obama’s people including white guilt voters will swing a few races his way. It is a pretty dangerous gamble to think there will be an opposition Congress against Obama.
