What if Obama and Romney, were "The Same Candidate"?

Well said Bob, I couldn't agree with you more.

The following are 40 ways that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are essentially the same candidate....

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.

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.

40. Both candidates plan to continue running up more government debt even though the U.S. government is already 16 trillion dollars in debt.

This is the truth.

Even aside from all of that, if both candidates are EXACTLY the same, then we MUST vote for Romney.

No president deserves to win a second term by default, WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY (or as Obama himself put it "more flexibility" WTF does that mean really).

If any president does such a lousy job as Obama, and his opponent is exactly the same, then THROW HIM OUT and give someone else a chance.

And if the next guy doesnt' do any better, THROW HIM OUT too after one term.

Keep changing leaders until someone gets it right.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DOES OBAMA DESERVE A SECOND TERM.

they are polar opposites . i see obama as trying to help all americans . i see romney as serving only the 1 % richest , and selling the rest of us into economic slavery .

I would have voted for Ron Paul, but now i wouldn't vote for either.

They're black and white next to each other and they're still the same lol!

@Elemer, no man deserves to win even one term by default lol so your argument is void

Obama is far worse than mitt.

At least Mitt Romney wants to cut taxes and actually has a plan for the budget.

Mitt Romney wont block American energy and will ease regulations on businesses.

He is far from a perfect conservative but he is 1000x better than Obama.

You seem to have forgotten that Romney is a successful businessman with years of experience creating companies and jobs. Romney will fix what Obama has screwed up.

Both suck, I agree. We are screwed no matter who wins.
