Yes, but (unless I have misinterpreted a quick scan of your recent in-forum posts) unlike me, you think common sense means for about 60 percent of Republicans to ignore their better judgment and vote for Romney SOLELY because they -- like you -- are paralyzed with the fear that Obama's delusions of grandeur and power aren't delusions.

You are absolutely CERTAIN that Obama could do all kinds of horrible things. I got news for you. Four years ago, a lot of folks like you were AS CERTAIN that we'd not have 2010 midterms, and AS CERTAIN that if Clinton won a second term it would be the end of America.

I know people are rationlizing their vote for bad, disgusting Romney as their "only choice" and that it is the only way they can vote "against" Obama. Both rationales are wholly false, and furthermore, those rationalizing their reluctant vote for Romney are entirely ignoring 50 percent of the equation of voting to show their support for installing a full-blown big nanny government statist to assume the most powerful position in the Republican party. FRiend, that is PLUMB NUTS, zero "common sense" is involved.

The death of common sense is actually signified by the fact that such folks are ONLY seeing the half signifying what they're voting against, and ignoring the other half, which is that as much as their vote is against Obama, it is FOR Romney, who has a demonstrated, documented RECORD of being an agent of advancing ALL of the big government statist immoral issues I and many of us have been voting Republican all these years to OPPOSE.

Talk about the death of common sense!

MMMMMMM, let’s see if I can clarify my personal position a bit:

(1) FACT: OB has single handedly trashed much of the Constitutional protections spelled out for us by the FFs (EOs up the wazoo, appointment of unvetted Czars, filing suits against states, ratcheting up racical tensions, funneling money to cronies through bogus “green projects”, expansion of HSD/TSA/DOJ/ATF atrocities etc, appointment of Supreme Court Justice with OBVIOUS conflicts of interest, etc, etc)

HE NEEDS TO BE GONE, PERIOD. While the next guy (ABSOLUTELY MUST BE NON-Democrat) may not be our dream leader, we HAVE TO assume he will not be as bad or worse than OB - if we can’t assume that, then we are indeed doomed, because this nation CANNOT survive more of OBs Presidential Management Style/Behavior.

(2) FACT: Essentially ALL of the current members of the DC Power Wielding Elites also need to be GONE, because they ALL, like a spouse in a poisoned marriage who forgives and ignores the abuses perpetrated against them, have acted as ENABLERS of OB in committing his unspeakable crimes against the citizens of this nation. (Recent polls indicate that a substantial percentage of the US Voters agree with me and would like to replace the ENTIRE CONGRESS!)

Without BOTH of these events taking place, the cancer that has permeated DC to its core will continue to rot and pervert most if not all newcomers to the cesspool.

Perhaps you don’t agree with me as to the dangerous state of decay that has slowly developed in DC and eaten away the morals and ethics that are ESSENTIAL to any sort of “... by, of and for the people ...” governing as envisioned by the FFs, and that is your right obviously. However, you mischaracterize my positions when you state that I am “... paralyzed with the fear that Obama’s delusions of grandeur and power aren’t delusions.”

I submit to you that there is AMPLE evidence to the contrary, and that OB has been VERY successful in his plans.
(1) He told us what he was going to do (”...join me as we FUNDAMENTALLY change America ...”)
(2) He has done much of that (OBcare, Bailouts and the other points listed above)
(3) He is now telling us what he did (re-election campaign bragging)

Ips facto (I think), his delusions are not delusions, they are plans and successes, IMHO, based on the obvious evidence.

And, while I too have many reservations about Romney, WHERE do you come up with that figure of 60% of Pubbies disapprove/won’t vote for him???? Please provide a link, I’d love to review that poll.

I fear that your view of reality is in very soft focus if you truly believe your statement about “delusions”, and I don’t think that sort of view of OBs record shows any common sense at all.
