It’s probably gonna be Romney.
I hate to even think it, lord knows. Doubtlessly there are better qualified dogcatchers, and I’d be lying if I said I liked it one bit, but the Mormon Moron may be all we have by the time election day comes. And like Grau says in the post below, we’d be better off with Oly Snow than Obama. Hell, we’d be better off with a plate of Spaghetti, or a a Michael Stipe impersonator with tourettes.

Until we shut down “The Machine” that is Congress, it really doesn’t matter who is president. Electing the likes of Romney would merely be a humiliating illustration of what this nation has become. I won’t change anything.

Perhaps not. The problem with liberal Republicans is that they lead weak Republicans astray and you end up with 2 Democrat parties like we had 2001-2003.
Republicans in Congress won’t keep a Republican in the White House from creating new agencies and programs – they want to give him success. the only reason the GOP has a corporate backbone today is that they have Obama. If you get President Romney, I think Conservatives are going to miss Obama pretty quickly.
We already onl;y have one party, and all republicans are weak- or at least beholdent to their handlers. The whole system is fucked, and we’re the fucked.
“Until we shut down “The Machine†that is Congress, it really doesn’t matter who is president.”
A president does have veto power.
And coattails.
Even Reagan influenced blue dog democrats.
Anyone who wants to vote for Romney in the general election is welcome to.
I will not.
I don’t blame you, Ed. I’m right with you in ‘Fuck no” land. But the choice is likely to be Romney (Obama lite) or regular strength Obama.
Still not convinced Jeb Bush may not pop up at the last moment. Maybe not until the convention?
Q
Is it too late to get that guy with the tourettes? I mean, biden doesn’t really count
Until the GOP base turns on the hierarchy — maybe by forcing a vote at the convention rather than ending the guessing in February — they will continue to sneer at us. All these early and open primaries are geared to let Obama have a long lead time to fight the pick. I think our best bet may be to water our votes down so that NO GOP candidate has the majority BEFORE the convention. I simply don’t like the idea of letting The Buma know who he’s running against too soon.
It is what it is. Better to suck it up now and plan some strategy. Which involves keeping Paul from a third party candidacy.
It is what it is
Yup, that’s what gave us McCain…

And if everyone who voted for Obama in 08 could go back in time knowing what he has brought about, McCain probably would have been elected.
And as much as I hate the asshole, we’d be better off.
Still fucked- but with lube and scented candles instead of gang raped on broken glass.
“but with lube and scented candles” So you’ve been conditioned and are in the mood for Romney already. Noted.
I don’t like it one fucking bit, but if it’s the difference between Romney or giving Obama four more years I’ll vote for the asshole.
Obama can’t complete a five year plan in one term.
