I am not under the assumption any Republican is better than Zero.
We will be being told by everyone we can’t criticize them because “he’s one of us and we don’t do that to our own.” I heard that way too much from McCainiacs last time around. I heard that plenty when I was criticizing the things Bush was doing I didn’t like and thought were wrong.
If we can’t be critical of them, we have no voice. We have no way to make him change his mind from doing something potentially as bad as any liberal could do. Romneycare? It’s Obamacare at the state level. Kennedy was standing behind Mitt with a big sh1t-eating grin while he signed it into law.
The bottom line is Republicans have a lot of older leadeship folks that have no interest in things changing in this country. They get to play conservative when they run but have no intentions of governing that way because they know the system is set up so that they can always blame something NOT to try to do something or change things.
Both sides are run by people like this. They are the McCains. The guys that think it’s their turn just because they’ve been there the longest. They don’t take huge political risks, they sound tough on talk shows or during election time, but they never wind up governing that way. They really don’t want things to change a lot. They don’t want to shrink government. They don’t want to make everyone’s life simpler by passing a flat tax and paring down the IRS greatly. They may say that kind of crap on the campaign trail but it never gets done.
What gets done is compromise deals and “bipartisanship” bullcrap.
If he or she uses their presidential pen and sings a bill repealing ObamaCare, that's 100% better than having Obama for 4 more years. There are big stakes in 2012, and if Obama wins, our entire way of life will change for the worse, as well as our entire medical system. So, go ahead and help put Barry back in the White House. I'll vote for anybody with a realistic shot of beating him and his healthcare/pro-union agenda.
