I see why we disagree.

I think you underestimate Obama.

Obama’s been neutered for the second half of his term thanks to gridlock in Congress. He couldn’t even get cap-and-trade passed in his first 2 years with Democrats in the majority. I think you lack faith that our founders built a system that is difficult for one branch to overthrow. Everyone agrees Obama will do damage as he already has done. I definitely would campaign against him if he had a Democrat Congress to back him up. But he isn’t this grandiose threat some make him out to be. He would like to be the next Chavez, but he simply doesn’t have the power under our system to make that happen. The military alone would never let him seize that kind of power.

We are trying to prevent a European-style political system where conservatives are TOTALLY marginalized. If the GOP thinks they can win elections without us, or that we will simply vote “R” no matter how liberal they make the ticket, they will never listen to us on anything again.

I think you underestimate Obama.

I think Obama is a radical. I also think he's too lazy to actually do the hard work. He's shown that much pretty clearly.

Your problem is that you underestimate Mitt Romney. He has a lot more conservative scalps hanging from his belt than BarryO does.

The truly alarming thing is--how did we get to this point where we're stuck with such an atrocity for a Republican nominee?
