“Maybe we should be realists rather than idealists”
Actually I prefer to be both. I am a realist when it deals with the past election (after all, that was the only options available) and I prefer to be a visionary when considering the future (if we are not things will never improve)
Well, great! Then you can't envision Mutt Romney as a steaming pile of $hit?
That is exactly what most conservatives view him as.
