He'll still have to deal with the Democrats in the Senate and they'll make sure he doesn't succeed in doing anything meaningful - even if he tries (and I'm not sure he'll make more than a token effort). At best, Mitt will slow the process down a little.

As I've said before, I will tell the pollsters that call that I'm voting for Gary Johnson to try and influence their agenda. Come election day, I'll probably vote for Mitt to help CO go that way.

I'm getting really tired of having to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
I've not really heard this EVERY election, but then again I wasn't paying much attention until recently... But I have to ask: SO FUCKING WHAT? It'll be time for the libertarian/green/voldemort party when it's their time. Right now we've seen a shift in power to a degree never before seen. We've seen an outcry of communism spread through our land (OWS), we've seen a call for a return to liberty (tea), we've seen our foreign policy turned on it's head, and we've seen, for the first time since 2001, a terrorist attack on US citizens that weren't military- But this time nothing is done, worse than nothing, it's denied, it's covered up, it's lied about. This is the worst administration for the freedoms many of us here have fought and shed tears/blood/sweat for. Reagan put it best: "Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction." We are looking at that generation, right here, right now.

It's been repeated time and time again, we don't know for sure what Romney will do, but we do know what Obama will do, and can we really afford that? It's time to draw a line in the sand, you're either with us (freedom) or against us (Obama/Communism), it's not just about Romney, he's a small piece to the bigger picture. I don't love the guy, I don't think he's the best we can come up with, but he's all we have to defeat the current regime. I honestly do fear that if Obama wins this election, some way, shape, or form, it could very well be the last election we ever have in this country...

In the 1700's there was a whisper on the wind of freedom, so fragile it could be destroyed so easily. Today we see that same threat looming. What could happen in 2013? 2014? and so on? What would we do if somehow, someway, Obama was able to dissolve the congress, declare a state of emergency and quell any opposition with the wave of a hand? It's happened before, certainly not here, but what's stopping it from happening here? Us. We the people are stopping it. But what happens when we the people invite it? If just 51% of the population votes this way, we the people who hold these ideals of freedom become the minority, and then it truly will become an uphill battle. What would you do if America had it's own "October Revolution"? When the entitled seize that of the workers, and all are forced to live in the state owned nation?
