The New York Times recently made a less than half-hearted attempt to summarize the similarities between President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican Party nominee, Mitt Romney. As New York Magazine reports,
the Times wasn’t able to do much better than: They both like Star Trek,
Modern Family, and Chicken. Here at IVN, I thought we could find just a
few more similarities of just a little more substance.
The
following list isn’t just a bunch of opinions, but documented facts that
together draw a compelling picture: Far from being polar opposites, the
two “choices” offered as presidential candidates by this country’s two
main parties are nearly indistinguishable on the substantive public
policy challenges Americans face. Using the New York Times piece as a
starting point, here are 100 ways Mitt Romney is just like Barack Obama:
1. Star Trek
2. Modern Family
3. Chicken
4.
The signature legislative accomplishment of the man that Republicans
have chosen to repeal and replace “ObamaCare” was “RomneyCare,” which was the blueprint and model for The Affordable Care Act.
5. The most controversial aspect of “ObamaCare” for its critics, was the individual mandate. Mitt Romney, like Barack Obama, believes individual mandates can be a good ingredient of public policy.
6.
Mitt Romney reminds critics that he believed “RomneyCare” was good for
the state of Massachussetts, but shouldn’t be implemented nationwide,
and that’s how he’s substantively different from Barack Obama. In 2007,
however, Romney said:
“I’m proud of what we’ve done. If Massachusetts succeeds in
implementing it, then that will be a model for the nation,” suggesting
that, like Obama, he is not opposed to federal mandates either– just
controversial ones that his partisan opponents pass.
(Items 7 – 9)
As Jon Stewart points out on The Daily Show, Mitt Romney’s proposed
legislative replacement for “ObamaCare” would keep everything in it
other than the individual mandate,according to Mitt Romney’s own words:
7.
Like Obama and the Democrats provided for in the Affordable Care Act,
Romney’s legislative alternative would make sure people who want to keep
their current insurance can do so.
8. Like Barack Obama, Mitt
Romney wants to expand federal spending on Medicaid to help each state
cover residents who cannot afford health insurance.
9. Also like Obama, Romney’s “alternative” would make sure people with preexisting conditions will be covered.
10. Both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama flip flopped on whether “ObamaCare” is or is not a tax when it was politically suitable.
11. The same Wall Street recipients of TARP bailout money that were top Obama donors in 2008 are top Romney donors in 2012.

A Communist wouldn't appoint former employees of Goldmann Sachs to his Cabinet. These people are dangerously hyper-capitalist.
The real difference between Liberals and Conservatives, is that Liberals see the Government as our servant; we want it to pick up the trash, hunt down terrorists, keep our food and water safe, and enforce the laws.
Conservatives want there to be nothing that "interferes" with their making money.
So if they want to dump trash in the street, do business with terrorists, sell unsafe food, poison the water, and ignore the laws, they don't want the Government telling them no.
This is why whenever a Conservative is pushing a bill called, say the "Clear Skies" Act, you'll find it actually allows MORE Mercury pollution, MORE Arsenic in drinking water.
Big difference: Romney already said that his first act in office when he becomes President will be R-E-P-E-A-L of the hog called Obamacare. Good enough for me!!
Romney is a Capitalist and a Patriot
What kind of country would you like to have?

I didn't dig to the bottom of this instance but here's another one I found with a few clicks:

Harry Reid has rewritten the rules, it up to the accused person to come up with proof that it's false now.
Also, I'd just like to point out that I went to college when I was 14. Can't be stupid to do that.
Romney is not.

Executive Orders NDAA,NDRP sections (1021,1022),HR-347,13563, Small Arms Treaty, Law of the Sea Treaty, Arms Trade Treaty and the International Criminal Court. Are Direct Violations to the Constitutions of the United States of America! The "Small Arms Treaty", the "Law of the Sea Treaty, the "Arms Trade Treaty “and the "International Criminal Court" can be bundled into one giant effort to Remove Sovereignty from THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, giving the UN control over liberties of United States Citizens. NULLIFYING PROTECTIONS Americans have enjoyed since the birth of the United States. Our own government will become a colony and will be one step removed from what happens to us. The Executive Branch has taken the first step and made a shield around themselves from what's happening, by using the Federal Government as a weapon. The ground has already been laid for foreign troops to come on to our soil. With the current power attempted to be wielded by the Executive Branch and the Federal Government you no longer have ANY Constitutional Rights. Some of the most threatening removals are Habeas Corpus & Posse Comitatus. Executive Legislation now carries the Same Weight as Congressional Law. And now with Executive Legislation you no longer have any Constitutional Rights. And even if and when any or all of these treaties fall on their face, you have to look at intent. The Executive Branch with the Federal Government are tying us into the U.N. With treaties that WILL BIND FUTURE PRESIDENTS. A power given by the Constitution cannot be construed to authorize a destruction of other powers given in the same instrument.A treaty to change the organization of the Government, or to annihilate its sovereignty, to overturn its republican form, or to deprive it of its constitutional powers, would be void; because it would destroy what it was designed merely to fulfill, the will of the people. I think the Executive Branch is trying to create an entity to its own. Unbound by Constitutional Authority. Willing and 100% Able to impose international standards upon us.
Every member of OUR Government is 100% Indictable under the "Regal Act". By always presenting a false budgetary basis, and asking for more money. They take the cash cow operations OFF the Budgetary Basis. And still have the nerve to leave the cost part of the profit centers ON THE FALSE BUDGETARY BASIS THEY PRESENT EVERY YEAR.
Remember the truth I spoke of: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CAFRs)<-----"Real Problem" "Real Solution" ------>(CITA) Citizens Investment Trust Account. We have to change the principal of operation.
With the Citizens Investment Trust Account all States of Government Remain, Satisfying ALL States. The CITA would attach to all levels of Government. From County to Congress, Identifying surpluses. Those Surpluses would then go into an Annuity Pension fund, this is all run by a citizens elected group of (CFA)Certified Financial Auditors. And then it would start paying all states of taxes. So this is like a win win situation. Theres a lot more to it. I highly suggest checking it out. It all has to do with the Budgetary Basis vs Liquid Investments and Composite Government.
We could completely fund health care, with zero issues. It might sound like a lot. But this can all be done in three years. Just by changing the principal of operation. It would also cause a wave effect of responsible government. If we change our principal of operation it would quadrupole our industries, at all levels.It doesn't necessarily have to be something mandated. It can be something funded. If you understand, if we change our principal of operation. It will change the way we deal with all of it. I think our Founding Fathers would be extremely proud of us for doing it.
"USA Composite Government"investments and ownership now well exceeds 100 trillion dollars internationally. Health Care? Why is this even an issue. Also think of our Boys and Girls in uniform. We could be sending them out in impenetrable armor. I don't know why our leaders are scared of it. It would triple there power.Our Government took over the investment arena over the last 65 years. They own and control every-thing now. This is what we should do.
Restructure our Government to start working FOR US. By this I mean using the Citizens Investment Trust Account as the Back Bone to our economy. The retirement fund will cause will cause a discloser, only then can funds be distributed correctly.
All states in power remain the same. They were smart enough to get there the first time, they should remain there. By changing the principal of operation. It will then be OK to work For Us, not sell us out to the highest bidder. It will not only cause a wave of responsible government on it's own. But untold mass influx to our economy.With the citizens tax retirement fund. It's growth is it's success. That's how you'll know it's working. 3 years, that's all. Three fin years. Can change the course of our entire nation and take control of our history. You wanna talk a massive movement to take a stance with your leaders. Congress then will truly be driven by the people. There nuts for not already having done it. The Senate would then be seen as gods. Then you would truly see men and women of the people, for the people, and by the people. We could influx massive amounts of money into hospitals. And I do mean massive.
Then you would have scientists lining the fup to cure disease. Doctors and Teachers would then truly feel their power. And take a Rightful Higher Archy. In not only influence, but in the very way you wish for your life. As I said before USA composite government investments and ownership now well exceeds 100 trillion dollars internationally. We could have every Elementary, Middle, and High School at an Institutional Level. Every Hospital run by House. Our Boys and Girls in the Military walking around in mechanized armor. All we have to do. Is change the Principal of Operation. To the Editor Of the Constitution Jimmy

ONLY the libertarian party offers a clearly discernible difference. ONLY the libertarian party wishes to give the people back their lives--and Americans on the main are too stupid, dependent or both to recognize it.

In 2008 I voted for Ron Paul by write-in vote as a protest to McCain. Both McCain and Obama are rated an F minus when it comes to opposing illegal immigration. Whereas, Romney is rated a B minus on it. Ron Paul gets a D minus. Gary Johnson an F.
Further, talk's cheap. Although Ron Paul speaks the right things about balancing the budget and cutting taxes, he's really no more than an "armchair quarterback" on it. Whereas, Romney's "been there done that." See:
http://www.sodahead.com/unite...
He ramped up tension with cartels (more so with Fast and Furious), leaves it to the states (like Bush), and signed NDAA (Patriot Act 2.0).
