I still feel Ron Paul is our best choice at this point I will probably support Gary Johnson since there are no true Liberty minded conservatives left in the GOP.
1. Romney will not repeal health care he is a supporter of it.
2. Why would we want any austerity measures there are currently riots in europe over this.

1) Romney wants to overturn Roe v Wade
2) Romney wants states to lose lose their soverignty over issues like gay marriage and medical marijuana
3) Romney is adamantly opposed to Campaign Finance Reform, and he agreed with the Supreme Court's decision on Citizen's United. I can never vote for a man who thinks bribery should be legal, and marijuana and gay marriage shouldn't.
I'm an independent, but i'm definitely a libertarian when it comes to social issues (pro choice, pro gun, pro gay marriage, against the drug war). Even though I don't agree with everything that Obama has done, I do not ever see myself ever voting for Mitt Romney. The man has used car salesman written all over him.

Privatization of Social Security.
Voucher System for Medicare/Medicaid.
Repeal of the Health Care Law.
Support of the Ryan/GOP Austerity Budget Plan.
Is that enough?

My God! People here seem to think if people are not polar, radical ideological opposites, they are the same! Regardless what Romney thinks of a state-run health care system, He understands it is an OVERSTEP of government authority to do so on a national level. He is the champion of free-market Capitalism, Obama is the champion of Statist government control of it for the "good of the people" as defined by government. Obama is for increasing the size, scope and power of the federal government, Romney is for reducing that, returning it to more of the limited government model the Constitution lays out (not as much as Ron Paul though).
He and Obama are in agreement on some things. I agree on a few of those things too. If they both like pizza, does that make them "the same" too? Part of your video would imply yes to that. The video likes to point out the "sameness" of the two, but if fails to explain WHY they are "the same". Why is that?
I covered healthcare. As for "austerity", the Europeans are MUCH more addicted to government for their socioeconomic well-being than here. Their private sector services for this have been dismantled in this regard. This is like a pusher (with no competion) cutting back on the addicts that they have been supporting. That is why they are rioting. We are not that far gone. We are like the child who is deciding whether to get in the car with the stranger that is promising candy to them if they do.

I agree that Romney is an empty suit.
