“Voting for gridlock is a valid choice. What if you knew voting for Romney would lead to Democrats taking over Congress in 2014 and winning back the presidency in 2016? Still a good idea to vote for him?”
Gee — such visionary. And what if you knew that giving Obama a second term WILL destroy the US as we know it — a much more likely event than your totally ridiculous “what if” with not even the flimziest evidence to substantiate it.
Bullcrap. You have the same evidence. I heard the same thing about Clinton getting a second term. And who did the GOP put up? Dole.
Talk to your party if you want to win. Don't try to scare conservatives. That just leads to losses.

It's not flimsy evidence, it's extremely common for the opposing party to win mid-terms. And when Republican Presidents go liberal, the White House switches to Democrat the next cycle. See Bush Sr. or 2nd term of Bush Jr. Whatever damage Obama can do, it will be less than a non-gridlocked Democrat president will do in 2017-2020.
What many Freepers don't seem to understand is that Obama isn't some unique enemy, it's the entire left-wing socialist Democrat party that's the enemy. Have you forgotten about Pelosi? There are an army of leftists ready to take over Washington. Obama is much more of their follower than he is a leader. Any Democrat president will be as bad as him. Even the non-gridlocked Bill Clinton in 1993-1994 or Jimmy Carter were not really any better than Obama either.
Unless Romney magically becomes conservative, then you will get another Democrat takeover in 2014 and 2016. The only solution to this country's ills is a Reagan conservative in the mold of Gingrich, Palin, West, etc. They failed to win this year. If Romney loses, they have another chance in 2016. If he wins, we're looking at 2020 as the next chance to save the country.
