“ALL conservatives with any sense do so — we can’t survive another 4 years of Obama.”
Those four years include the following:
2 Potential Supreme Court Appointments (Want two more Sotomayors?)
4 more years of deficit spending (Think Obama will ever lay down the veto to any of this, put in mind he tolerates double the deficit of Bush on a bad year)
Which would you prefer more, a president who flip-flops over as little as weeks, or one who flip-flops over a period of years, Romney is mainly the latter.
Fourth, and most important, Obama will take re-election as every bit the motive to turn even further left, and push more of what he does to the left than he already is. Romey would be in a Vice Grip with the left against him from cognitive dissonance, and the right really holding him up to a fire, unless he’s got some conservative surprises, he’s likely to be a right-wing Harry Truman, tries to make it for re-election, but is shot down in the primaries by his own parties, and on the attempt at a second term as well.
So we can look forward to Romney appointing someone like Roberts?
Doesn’t really get me all that excited, to be honest.
Although, even another Roberts would be preferable to another Kagan or Sotomayor. At least Roberts does the right thing 90%+ of the time instead of 0% of the time.
They won't even stand up to the won.
