She was great at portraying herself as a lib, almost too believable. I agree with her sentiment about Romney, but it is what it is, and he might be pleasantly surprising in how he would govern. Though even a ham sandwich would be a huge improvement over Duh One.
Attempt at a serious comment (I know..) here. The problem with Romney is to my mind like the dilemma submariners who are trapped on the bottom in a stricken sub in a slowly leaking compartment via a partially dogged water-tight hatch are faced with. If they only slow the leak by stuffing their shirts in the crack they will only buy themselves a few more hours at best until the inevitable end. If, OTOH they attempt to "un-dog" the hatch and "re-dog" it they risk immediate drowning on the one hand if the attempt fails vs possible ultimate rescue & survival if they can stop the leak totally. A big gamble. With Romney we only buy slightly more time (but no gamble) than Obama gives us until the predictable end unless we eventually elect a true conservative President & Congress to totally stop the leak and effect rescue..somehow we've GOT to have the collective courage to go for broke in an unapologetic fashion--but we're not psychologically there yet..
I don't know whether I'm going into shock or clinical depression. The lawyer in me is furious at the Supreme Court's tortured convolution of a way to toss the healthcare conundrum to Congress, but it is what it is and might lead to unseating Obama.
I'm stunned
ReplyDeleteHow so?
DeleteI wonder what the Paulistas are going to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinkin' the knee-jerk reaction would be to stay home. I don't think Paul is gonna do a third-party thing.

ReplyDeleteThat WAS a serious comment, Virg. Well said.

ReplyDeleteGuess I'll go sit on a whoopie cushion.
