Another comment I posted at the NYT, this time in response to a despondent Democrat:
Dem (comment #8) said:
"... a Romney presidency might be the only way to break the impasse and at least make some policy progress."
This assumes that the Rs continue in control of the House, and the Ds lose the Senate. The coattails of any elected R as President might lead to that, but the country would shoot back to 1890, pre-taxes, pre-regulation, pre-workers rights, pre-modern science. That would be a disaster.
Think what Obama could have done if the Rs had acted even halfway responsible the last 3 years. Obama with a D House would have a chance to move the country forward (and the economy is likely to get better the next few years no matter who is President).
Dem, you should work to return control of the House to the Ds. All the new Rs are vulnerable because they have sabatoged the govt since day 1 - and they say such stupid things - so that a public angered with govt stalemate may want more change since the 2010 version didn't work. Or as Sarah would say, How those Tea Party guys workin out for ya?
