What a depressing choice the American people are being presented with this year. We are at a point in our history where we desperately need a change of direction in the White House, and we are guaranteed that we are not going to get it. The Democrats are running the worst president in American history, and the Republicans are running a guy who is almost a carbon copy of him. The fact that about half the country is still supporting Barack Obama shows how incredibly stupid and corrupt the American people have become. No American should have ever cast a single vote for Barack Obama for any political office under any circumstances. Obama should never have even been the assistant superintendent in charge of janitorial supplies, much less the president of the United States. The truth is that Barack Obama has done such a horrible job that he should immediately resign along with his entire cabinet. But instead of giving us a clear choice, the Republicans nominated the Republican that was running that was most similar to Barack Obama. In fact, I don't think we have ever had two candidates for president that are so similar. Yes, there are a few minor differences between them, but the truth is that we are heading into Obama's second term no matter which one of them gets elected. The mainstream media makes it sound like Obama and Romney are bitter ideological rivals but that is a giant lie. Yeah, they are slinging lots of mud at each other, but they both play for the same team and the losers are going to be the American people. Republicans are being told that they have "no choice" but to vote for Romney because otherwise they will get another four years of Obama. This "lesser of two evils" theme comes out every four years. We are told that we "must" vote for a horrible candidate because the other guy is even worse. Well, millions of Americans are getting sick of this routine. Perhaps that is why it is being projected that as many as 90 million Americans of voting age will not vote this year. Yes, Barack Obama has been so horrible as president that it is hard to put it into words. But Mitt Romney would be just like Barack Obama. Those that are dreaming of a major change in direction if Romney is elected are going to be bitterly, bitterly disappointed. The following are 40 ways that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are essentially the same candidate.... 1. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both supported TARP. 2. Mitt Romney supported Barack Obama's "economic stimulus" packages. 3. Mitt Romney says that Barack Obama's bailout of the auto industry was actually his idea. 4. Neither candidate supports immediately balancing the federal budget. 5. They both believe in big government and they both have a track record of being big spenders while in office. 6. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both fully support the Federal Reserve. 7. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are both on record as saying that the president should not question the "independence" of the Federal Reserve. 8. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have both said that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke did a good job during the last financial crisis. 9. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both felt that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke deserved to be renominated to a second term. 10. Both candidates oppose a full audit of the Federal Reserve. 11. Both candidates are on record as saying that U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has done a good job. 12. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have both been big promoters of universal health care. 13. Mitt Romney was the one who developed the plan that Obamacare was later based upon. 14. Wall Street absolutely showers both candidates with campaign contributions. 15. Neither candidate wants to eliminate the income tax or the IRS. 16. Both candidates want to keep personal income tax rates at the exact same levels for the vast majority of Americans. 17. Both candidates are "open" to the idea of imposing a Value Added Tax on the American people. 18. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both believe that the TSA is doing a great job. 19. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both supported the NDAA. 20. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both supported the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act. 21. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both believe that the federal government should be able to indefinitely detain American citizens that are considered to be terrorists. 22. Both candidates believe that American citizens suspected of being terrorists can be killed by the president without a trial. 23. Barack Obama has not closed Guantanamo Bay like he promised to do, and Mitt Romney actually wants to double the number of prisoners held there. 24. Both candidates support the practice of "extraordinary rendition". 25. They both support the job-killing "free trade" agenda of the global elite. 26. They both accuse each other of shipping jobs out of the country and both of them are right. 27. Both candidates are extremely soft on illegal immigration. 28. Neither candidate has any military experience. This is the first time that this has happened in a U.S. election since 1944. 29. Both candidates earned a degree from Harvard University. 30. They both believe in the theory of man-made global warming. 31. Mitt Romney has said that he will support a "cap and trade" carbon tax scheme (like the one Barack Obama wants) as long as the entire globe goes along with it. 32. Both candidates have a very long record of supporting strict gun control measures. 33. Both candidates have been pro-abortion most of their careers. Mitt Romney's "conversion" to the pro-life cause has been questioned by many. In fact, Mitt Romney has made millions on Bain Capital's investment in a company called "Stericycle" that incinerates aborted babies collected from family planning clinics. 34. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both believe that the Boy Scout ban on openly gay troop leaders is wrong. 35. They both believe that a "two state solution" will bring lasting peace between the Palestinians and Israel. 36. Both candidates have a history of nominating extremely liberal judges. 37. Like Barack Obama, Mitt Romney also plans to add "signing statements" to bills when he signs them into law. 38. They both have a horrible record when it comes to job creation. 39. Both candidates believe that the president has the power to take the country to war without getting the approval of the U.S. Congress. 40. Both candidates plan to continue running up more government debt even though the U.S. government is already 16 trillion dollars in debt

Yada, yada, yada... Obama was inspired by communists and black liberation theologists. Romney was NOT. Obama disdains entrepreneurs and business people deep down in his soul. Romney was an entrepreneur and successful business person. Romney was not my first choice as a Presidential candidate. But anyone who tries to equate Romney with Obama is either mentally ill or an Obama saboteur. This is not Clinton versus Dole. The election really counts this time, just like it counted in 1980. Obama must be booted from office at all costs.
Obama disdains entrepreneurs and business people deep down in his soul. Romney was an entrepreneur and successful business person. Which means precisely dick. And it doesn't address ANY of the points made in the article. You were never given a choice, you idiot. REALLY? Than perhaps you'd care to actually refute some (or all) of the points in the article? PUT UP, dipshit. Yeah, I hear that every four years... "The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead the two parties should be almost identical, so the that American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy." "Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all." Michael Rivero
Brigham Young stated, "Furthermore, every one who had passed through their endowment, in the Temple, were placed under the most sacred obligation to avenge the blood of the Prophet, whenever an opportunity offered, and to teach their children to do the same, thus making the entire Mormon people sworn and avowed enemies of the American nation." (Confessions of John D. Lee, p. 160) http://1857massacre.com/MMM/oath_of_vengeance.htm Another reason to reject Mitt... he's sworn to vengeance against the USA. The Mormons are a very sick cult.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Obama was inspired by communists and black liberation theologists. Romney was NOT. Obama disdains entrepreneurs and business people deep down in his soul. Romney was an entrepreneur and successful business person. Which means precisely dick No, it's means everything to everyone who as a stake in reality. You can post whatever mindless cartoons who want, but Obama and Romney are fundamentally different. Again, Romney was not my first choice. BUT, Obama is inspired by communists and black liberation theologists. Romney is NOT. It's an enormous difference. Anyone who doesn't see this is demented or an Obama supporter.
Yep. There are good descriptions of what they're really all about here and here. mcRomney's as much of a loon as o'Bungler...

Bullshit. You're attempting to distract, again, using your personal (and unsupported) opinion against 40 items in the article. Sorry, but your wishful thinking don't hack it. A quote I have on the wall of my office, is "without data, you're just another person with an opinion." I've posted the data, you've posted NOTHING. DO try to keep up with the adults....

1856!!! WOW!!!!!! What a scoop. Magnificent. What really is wrong with you? Seriously. Did your mom drop you on your head when you were a baby?
You just can't HELP yourself, can you? Disinfo Tactic #5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left- wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues. Putz.

You're right. They are nothing alike. One grew up in the life of luxury in a banking family,attended exclusive private schools,and went to Ivy League colleges. The other one is Mitt Romney.

Is that the best you can do? PLEASE. As I'd already said to the dipshit, Sorry, but your wishful thinking don't hack it. A quote I have on the wall of my office, is "without data, you're just another person with an opinion." I've posted the data, you've posted NOTHING. Why did you bother to put "Liberty" as the name of this forum? You do realize that you're simply supporting one flavor of totalitarianism over another, don't you? The "my political whore is better than your political whore" logic... In the end, you're simply turning into Goldi. Pity.

"I went to Salt Lake City in 1856. They gave the endowments of washing and anointing, and then there was an oath taken in Utah to avenge the blood of the prophet... In taking the endowments at Salt Lake there was the oath required, and the oath that was required was to 'avenge the death or blood of the prophet.' We were made to swear to avenge the death of Joseph Smith the Martyr, together with that of his brother Hyrum, on this American nation, and that we should teach our children and children's children to do so. 'The penalty for this grip and oath was disembowelment,' I would not have discussed the method of these endowments when I was a member of the Utah Church. The penalty for revealing or disclosing these secrets was disembowelment. The grips and tokens of the priesthood were what we were not to disclose... I kept the obligation while living in Salt Lake City.
