In the midst of all the presidential debates, I want to say that as much as we need a conservative president, he MUST be supplemented by a conservative Congress.
The Tea Party will be coming around on all the candidates as well. Keep in mind that it is MORE important to run CONSERVATIVES than to run REPUBLICANS. In fact, in some cases I would rather a conservative LOSE than a RINO WIN, because at least that gives us a solid front, rather than fence-sitters. Another convincing performance such as we had in '10 would be more important, in my opinion, than if Romney or Cain were president.
OBVIOUSLY, I prefer a Cain presidency with a Tea-Party CONTROLLED Congress. But if I had to have one or the other, I'd prefer RINO Romney with a Tea=Party Congress than Cain with a RINO-controlled Congress. I don't know if Romney would have the gonads to veto any legislation championed by conservatives or the Tea Party, but I DO know I want the legislation out there in the first place.
What is NOT an option is for Obama to remain president, but that won't be a problem unless Ron Paul is nominated, not gonna happen. Nor is it an option for Romney elected along with a RINO-controlled Congress.
