Quid pro quo would be an improvement, because then ordinary people could escape from it by paying bribes.<br /><br />Voting for Mitt Romney isn't so much about thinking that he's on my side out of conviction (yeah, right!) as about observing from his behavior that he's absolutely committed to making sure the country _thinks_ he's on my side. Which, I expect, will look a lot more like being actually on my side than has the performance of any other national Republican since Reagan.<br /><br />If conservatives don't keep him reminded that he owes us, he'll drift to the left. Which makes him _exactly the same_ as every single person who was running against him in the primaries, except maybe Ron Paul, and I'm not even 100% sure about Paul.<br /><br />If you're hoping for a man of genuine principle to be elected President...well, good luck with that. At this point in history, the best we can hope for is a ruthless political fighter who can be periodically reminded of which side his bread is buttered on.lelnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600824544185328505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-45581698784439242642012-07-25T14:49:45.308-04:002012-07-25T14:49:45.308-04:00The problem here is you think this is an election ...The problem here is you think this is an election between Obama and Romney. That was the primary. The general election is sold as top vs top, but that's a fiction.<br /><br />It isn't. It's mostly about from which party the 250k government regulators that get replaced each election (and in your case whether you think more small gubmit Tea Party members will be found in the GOP or the Democrat lists). If you find a difference there vote accordingly.<br /><br />Oh, I guess it's also about whether Stevens and Scalia retire in the next term.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837999838469082203noreply@blogger.com
