Even if Romney beats Obama, he might turn out worse than GWB (And I believe that GWB begat Obama) on global warming, spending (especially to buy indulgences for being a "vulture capitalist"), and so many other "moderate" sins to which the GOP flesh is heir.
Yeah, I know I shouldn't be such a pessimist. Maybe Romney will beat Obama and be a much better POTUS than I fear.
pessimist ???
in my lifetime the running joke is that politicians are liars...period...
there comes a point where they know its 'get what we can get' before the TSHTF, one way or the other...
the masks are off, we're being fed the crap sandwich, and givin a 'choice' to eat or hoist the pirate flags...
Back in 2009 it would have been even worse with McCain and that Democrat congress. Nothing but bad would have come out of a McCain or Romney POTUS 2009.
Jim DeMint on the Morning Joe last week spelled our a probably overly optimistic possibility. That would be a conservative congressional majority filibuster proof. Then he said the SPECIFIC Republican POTUS wouldn't matter that much because they couldn't lead, RINO or not.
He said what I have said many times, we need a Scott Walker as POTUS.
Well your thoughts on that aren’t so far out there that I can’t identify with them. I hear ya. I think he would be worse too. And my God, what would that portend related to what would follow him? And yes, I mean what. ;^)
I don't see any positive out-comes here.
If Obama wins he will cause lots of trouble, for example this time he will veto tax cut extensions because they include the rich, that will be his excuse and then he will blame Republicans yet take credit for deficit reduction.
If a Republican POTUS wins office what possible good can come of it? Another SCOTUS? That's a long shot.
He as we know will be quite flawed (one of these five, probably Romney) and will face an on-slaw of attacks and protests for 'putting the middle class below the rich' as Walker and Kasich did last year. And Republican voters will be even more demoralized than they were last year with the lack of results and performance. The debt is mounting leaving the next POTUS limited options for tax cuts or give-aways. It won't be pretty much like Bush second term wasn't.
Not to play a broken record :) but in some ways we would have been better off if the win in 2010 election was not as big as it was leaving Democrats with all the blame, as would a second Obama term. .
Remember all the rosy Pollyanna predictions last year for this years congress ??? Well the cheer leading will repeat itself.
