If you had to choose ONE, which candidate -- Obama or Romney -- REALLY leans the MOST -- IF ANY -- to the "center" of the current ideo-political divide in the U.S.A.?...Will you explain how you conclude your answer?

However, Obama flip-flops as well, and it is no secret by any means.
A political "flip-flop" is just a nicer sounding word for lying or deceiving in many instances, and Obama is no stranger to it.
Romney seems to flip-flop from a pseudo-conservative stance TO the center...Your posted cartoon even illustrates that -- a pro-life (a conservative stance) TO a LESS conservative stance -- which is a move TO the CENTER.
Obama seems to flip-flop FROM a pseudo-center stance TO the left, or form a left-leaning stance to a pseudo-center stance.
If you cannot or do not see that in both candidates, and you think Obama is a straight shooter, and only Romney is not, please explain if you care to.
Your cartoon only enforces Romney's centrist-ism.
That's EXACTLY why my poll question is worded the way it is...Hence -
"If you had to choose ONE, which candidate -- Obama or Romney -- REALLY leans the MOST -- IF ANY -- to the "center" of the current ideo-political divide in the U.S.A.?...Will you explain how you conclude your answer?"
And for the record, I am not necessarily equating "choosing" with "voting for".
I am simply interested to know how others think regarding the degree of "centrist", if any, between the two.
Romney is all about money & dosent care about people
"OBAMA leans the most to the CENTER, and the reason is_____________"
And used your criticism of Romney as your reason....lol
Sounds like something Obama himself would do...lol
As far as your claim that Romney is all about money and doesn't care about people?...What are the prerequisites and conditions that would allow one to credibly make those claims about another?
And that was simply because you chose not to defend, or cannot defend your poll question choice of --
"OBAMA leans the most to the CENTER, and the reason is_____________"
You chose the Obama option, YET only spoke (or stated, and posted a cartoon) about Romney.
LMAOff.....Poor Joe say it ain't so!
What are they?...Are they what he campaigned on in 2008 to rally his left-wing base, yet failed to follow-through with after he took office ( at least according to them)?
What are they?
I would ask you what Romney's are, but since you seem to KNOW that he has changed them, you would have to know what they already were beforehand in order to KNOW that.
SO, what are Obama's core beliefs?
If asking an Obama supporter to state Obama's core beliefs is synonymous to an "Inquisition", then that pretty much puts you in the same position as many in this country.
Very few --- even those like you who support him, even know what he actually believes.
I take it you won't need to visit any other poll of mine, so I will make it easy for you to not come back.
The best to you.
Anyone that can't hear the beliefs of Karl Marx in virtually every speech he gives is delusional.
That being said, both candidates are on the side of tyranny, left or right side, it does not matter, and I see Obama being more for governmental control than Romney.
I will not be voting for Romney of course but I at least wanted to answer the question.
The unfortunate part of all this is basically being forced to vote one or the other. Sure, you're free to vote for any name you wish, even write in your own choice. But the sad fact is, because of this damn two party or nothing system we have, not voting for one, is basically giving the other the vote. I am a HUGE fan of disbanding all party systems and making a candidate stand on his, or her, own platform on their own 2 feet. I don't like going to a primary and getting to vote only within my party. In this election coming up, it's narrowed down to one decision. Do you want 4 more years like the last 4? If the answer is yes, vote for Obama or anyone else other than his only competition. If the answer is no, there's only one way to vote, Romney. That's because n...

That's because no other name on the ballots will matter except for Obama and Romney because only one of those two will win.
Until we can end this ridiculous control of the two party system, we have to play the game. So far, every time we try to stop the political parties, they just create another one and the circle continues. Personally, I would LOVE to see political parties destroyed and have a rule/law that states any statements made must be backed up with absolute proof of all facts and figures. No more being allowed to mislead the public with false figures and outright lies!
