Is the term “newbie” meant to discredit me?

Think about it...

If Obama is president and faces Republican control of the House and Senate, they are FAR less likely to vote in favor of his policies because they know they’ll catch hell from voters.

Adversely, if Mitt Romney wanted a disastrous bill (see TARP, Sarbanes-Oxley and No Child Left Behind) the Republican congress is FAR MORE LIKELY to let it pass for the sake of “party unity”

It’s simple strategy. Obama will be a lame duck!

Just look at what Obama is doing. Look at who he has appointed, look at what Eric Holder is doing, look at the attacks on states that try to prevent voter fraud, etc. When Obama is a lame duck, he will go to even greater extreme. Romney will want to be reelected and can be pressured to the right while Obama is a left fanatic. And no, I have not been a Romney supporter. At least, Romney does not hate this country.

I think there’s a hitch in your logic.

>>>If Obama is president and faces Republican control of the House and Senate, they are FAR less likely to vote in favor of his policies because they know they’ll catch hell from voters.

Legislation originates in congress. A conservative congress will propose conservative legislation. Obama will veto for certain; party unity and catch hell from voters will fall more likely on the side of Romney signing than Obama.

So, as far as getting conservative legislation passed and signed into law: Conservatives in congress for sure; NoBama even better.
