40 Points That Prove That Barack Obama And Mitt Romney Are Essentially The Same Candidate

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.  He 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 millionAmericans 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 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 longas 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.

There's no real difference between republicans and democrats. 

Business and banking run this country and run the two political parties.  We are locked into voting for one illegal and unconstitutional party or the other by mere inertia.  This country was written off three decades ago. 

[Lisa Wolfe]

There's no real difference between republicans and democrats. 

Sure there is! Republicans want to ban birth control and abortion, so if you care for women's rights or family planning at all (you guys obviously don't), you don't want that.

The Republicans also want to eliminate the home interest mortgage deduction, if you own a house you don't want that.

They also are whacking minorities, students, and older people from voter rolls all over the country, so only their people can vote, if you are a minority, you don't want that.

They also want to let Wall Street get its hands on your Social Security and turn Medicare into a voucher system. Gee, learn the issues and stop just printing crap from websites that just shill for Ron Paul.

Republicans ONLY support the rich, unless you are rich yourself, you are screwing yourself by voting for Romney.

[Volitzer]

Yes look at all of blue collar people and black America Democrats have helped since Obama's election.

I have to dsagree on all counts.  If he republocrats wanted abortio banned it would already be banned.  The republocrats want all the money to flow to the rich and this is exactly what's happening.  The republicans get money to flow to the wealthy by cutting taxes and the democrats get money to flow to the wealthy by increasing spending. 

Wall Street will end up with everything after they engineer a collapse. 

The parties pretend to be different so people can't see there is no choice in which direction we go.  Obama has done more to enrich he wealthy and impoverish the poor than any president since... ...well... ...Bush.  Obama has accelerated the slide of education.  The parties play off one another. 

[Lisa Wolfe]

You are welcome to disagree all you want. In every state house across the country where Republicans control, they have tired to ban abortion. Not just one, everyone. They also want to ban birth control. What they get out of that is beyond me because there is no guy I know who wants to increase his odds by about 90% of becoming a father each time he has sex.

The republicans get money to flow to the wealthy by cutting taxes and the democrats get money to flow to the wealthy by increasing spending.

No, the Democrats want the money to go to social programs, while the Republicans want to subsidize the rich! Do you know we give subsidies to oil companies? The Democrats want to cut them off, Republicans want them to continue.

Obama has done more to enrich he wealthy and impoverish the poor than any president since... ...well... ...Bush. 

That's because the Bush tax cuts weren't allowed to expire, Obama wants to increase taxes on the rich!

Obama has accelerated the slide of education.

I don't know anything about that, I do know he wanted to cut the interest rate on student loans, but Republicans won't go along with it.

[Lisa Wolfe]

38. They both have a horrible record when it comes to job creation.

Well, Obama created three million jobs. the problem is we lost something like eight million in the recession so it isn't enough yet.

[Volitzer]

8 million industrail jobs and we gain 3 million janitorial and food service jobs.   Big whoop !!!!!!!!!!!

Under Obama there are 46 million people on foodstamps  than the 32 million when he took office.

But of course what will America do, send more globalist politicians back to Washington and then the cycle will start up all over again.

[Lisa Wolfe]

Well, the recession actually started in 2007 and got to be its worst in 2009, just as Obama took office, so of course the numbers got bad. They aren't his fault! He inherited it, just like FDR inherited the Great Depression from Hoover.

As for all the new jobs being in the service sector, not! They are actually in manufacturing. The numbers would look better if Republicans would pass Obama's jobs bill, they aren't interested cause they are only interested in politics, not in helping people.

[Volitzer]

There is no manufacturing plan for America, the thing is what Afghanistan has proven, as well as the Ewoks on the Endor's moon, is that even with technology of the oppressor, tyranny isn't immenent.

Let's just see what happens after this financial collapse.   2012 will be an interesting year.

This is still their agenda no matter which puppet they put in.

[Lisa Wolfe]

There is no manufacturing plan for America,

Yeah, but come on, Volitzer, the Democrats came out with all the reforms that EVER helped working people, including the minimum wage, unions, the five day work week, overtime, vacation time, sick leave, etc. All the Republicans ever came up with is outsourcing! Our trade with China started under Nixon, actually!

[Volitzer]

These modern Democrats are not the same thing as classic-Democrats.  Modern Democrats take much of their orders from Bilderbergs just as the Republicans do.

After JFK they figured they needed to control both parties.

[Jeremy Dokken]

Really a bogus argument, anyone who votes third party for president is wasting their vote. So it comes down to this, does anyone really think that Mitt Romney and his rich buddies care about the average American? Unless he can outsource it, fire it or downsize it, he could give a crap about it.

[Tom Hebert]

I agree, Jeramy.  In modern history the Republicans have consistently represented big business and rich people.  There has been little or no concern for the common man.  On the other hand--as the name implies--Democrats represent the People.

I also agree that in a two-party system, like we have in the U. S., a vote for a third-party candidate is a wasted ballot.
