Drew M over at Ace of Spades  (hat tip:  Subotai Bahadur, whom I still  wish would come over here to write for me) puts it in crystal clear terms:
Dear GOP,
This is your last chance. If you blow this, I’m out and you need to be destroyed.
What is it? Repeal ObamaCare on Day 1. Don’t worry about replace, don’t worry about anything else. We will do everything we have to drag your sorry asses over the line this fall, including electing Mitt Fucking Romney.
In return this is what you will do:
Instead of adjourning for pictures and tea and cake to celebrate getting your pathetic asses elected to 2 or 6 years on the government teet, you will immediately pass a one line bill that says, “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (and whatever statute number has to be included) is hereby repealed.”
That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Since Congress meets before Inauguration Day, Obama will still be President. Simply hold the legislation at the desk so the 10 day pocket veto clock doesn’t start. If other parliamentary BS is needed, just do it.
Then as soon as Mitt takes the oath of office, before his speech no one will care or remember, walk the bill up to him at the podium to sign.
If this does not happen, the GOP must be destroyed and a new party built to replace it. We’ve tried the carrot approach (votes, money, volunteers) to change your behavior. Now it’s time to show you the stick.
No more, “oh the other guys are worse” scare tactics. That might be true but it doesn’t mean you are any good.
This is your one job, do it or join the Whig Party in the dustbin of history.
Amen & amen.
I’m voting for Romney now, and I expect him to not only win, but to smash Bambi, and to drag a decisive GOP majority to Washington DC with him.
If they fail, I will have voted for my last Republican.

O Nasty one, may this humble Vicar remind you that it was Mitt Romney who brought Massachusetts the state version of universal health care? May I further suggest that, based upon his previous support of universal care, Governor Romney will do everything in his power to make Obamacare work? The most we can expect Romney to do is to tinker around the edges.
Unless the people fire the current bunch of thieves in Washington, and replace them all with new thieves, nothing is going to change. I am quickly coming to believe that the American people have well and truly screwed themselves.
By all means, Vicar, you may.  And my humble thanks for your concern, everlastingly so.
Now, I will freely admit that my one, tiny vote for the Rommerhoid will not affect things here in Texas one jot, tittle or whit – Bambi doesn’t even have so much of a snowball’s chance of carrying Texas.  Not yet, anyway.
As much as anything else, this vote will be one big, ginormous “fuck you” to the Demoscum.  That’s all.
That may be.  But he has gone on record as stating that he will end it on Day One.  Should he win and then subsequently renege, that will tell us all we need to know about the Republican Party, and it will  die a quick, painful death thereafter.
