And Romney will have Congress pass those same laws.

I don't like Romney and have no intention of trying to defend him.

Our differences are not about Romney and Obama. Our differences are about what this election means.

The best analogy I can give you is a story about my Dad ( I know Dad isn't supposed to be capitalized in this use but I can't help it).

Anyway, when my Dad was 18 years old he was diagnosed with having a tumor on his brain. The doctors told him he had 6 months to live. They also told him they could try to remove it surgically but he would probably die in surgery as it was experimental at the time (1940). They gave him a 10% chance of survival and told him that even if he survived it would probably leave him paralyzed. He opted for the surgery anyway.

He, obviously, did survive and the surgery did leave him paralyzed on the left side of his body. He was hospitalized for months, but he worked at regaining the use of his body. This was before anyone had any idea of physical therapy, at least in the small Indiana town he lived in.

He continued to work on it and finally only his left arm was permanently paralyzed. He told me the worst moment of the entire time was when his mother refused to tie his shoes for him. He was heartbroken at her refusal but understood when he saw her standing in the kitchen crying. She knew that if she did it for him he would never be able to do it for himself.

Dad passed to join Mom in June of this year at 90 years old. He was the wisest most honest person I have ever known.

Anyway, back to the analogy, his choice back when he was 18 was certain death in 6 months or a tiny shot at life with probable difficulties. He chose the later.

I see our choice the same way. We can vote for certain death (Obama) or a tiny shot at saving our country with difficulties. Romney would be the paralysis that we would have to go to work on and try to erase. With the help of the Tea Party I think we could do that and learn to tie our own shoes.
