The US Senate has a lot more Republicans and might be Republican controlled soon.<br /><br />Second, the choice is still between Romney's judicial choices and Obama's, not just for the Supreme Court but for every federal bench, US attorneys, the EEOC, the MSPB, the OSC, the Fed BoardHot Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848778804406692799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-21925640204693824412012-06-02T10:25:02.251-05:002012-06-02T10:25:02.251-05:00Whited, you and I have had this discussion before....Whited, you and I have had this discussion before. We agree in principle, but disagree when it comes to tactics. <br /><br />IMO the best way to change things is from the bottom up, not the top down. I vote for pretty much every Libertarian on the local and state levels, but at the presidential level I agree with Hot Sam that evil lite is better than regular evil.<br /><br />If there was even theCenTexTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026518638421849111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-51343155185715103492012-06-01T17:17:26.888-05:002012-06-01T17:17:26.888-05:00Nah.

Hyperbole at best and hysteria at worst. Hitler was evil. Stalin was evil. Romney and Obama aren't in the "evil" category - power drunk at worst and misguided at best.<br /><br />As an artifact of our electoral process, you get only two choices for president.
