Mitt Romney: Actual Change or More of the same?

[futurepres]

I say no. Because Romneycare was the model for Obamacare. Plus, he favors Gun Control, he also would have signed NDAA just as Obama had done. He has been pro choice before as well. I don't understand how Republicans can trust this man.

Both -- change back to the Bush doctrine that brought us into the recession in the first place.

Same thing Obama's been doing, which is the same thing Bush did, et al.

Well considering the economy is currently improving slowly, and Romney's policies and the Tea Party's policies (but I repeat myself) would cause a double-dip recession, there would be "actual change", yes.

I highly doubt Romney will actually change anything.  Tax code will remain the same, and spending will continue to outpace revenues.

Well you must give Mitt this: he really does like change...

I'll take the man at his word, since for once he is taking unpopular stances. If he's saying that he will raise taxes on the majority of Americans, I expect him to do it.

I think Romney's policies would be different, but the results wouldn't be the same.  The economy might improve, but obviously I wouldn't believe that would be attributed to his policies since it's already on the correct path.  And of course, anyone who thinks that the debt or deficit would decrease under his administration is clearly living in denial.

Didn't the OP has a Blue avatar a short time ago?

lol no. Expect all the same from the clown, just like Obama and Bush.

I really don't like people who say "Oh, the Democrats and the Republicans are the same thing, man! They're both parts of the capitalist/government system, man!", because they aren't.

Romney would repeal Obamacare. Obama would keep it.
Romney would raise taxes on the middle class and the poor and cut them on the rich. Obama would do the opposite.
Romney would veto the DREAM Act. Obama would sign it.

Et cetera, et cetera.

For one, Romney used to be heavily in support of a lot of what Obama has actually done. Obamacare was Romney's idea. Romney used to support the rights of gays and women. Romney also, actually, was for affirmative action back when he was running against Ted Kennedy. Of course, to get elected as a Republican presidential candidate, he had to change all of these views so that they fit the conservative mold, but he doesn't mean a word of it.

Not to mention, they agree on foreign policy on almost everything, except Obama doesn't want to bomb the sh**t out of Iran YET, while Romney wants to do it right away. They both want to keep the Patriot Act alive and Gitmo open. Plus, even on the immigration issue, Romney never specified whether or not he wanted to revoke Obama's executive order.

It doesn't matter what he used to support. He doesn't now. Old Mitt is not running for president. New Mitt is. And I think there's a large difference in wanting to bomb the sh**t out of Iran immediately and doing it for a logical reason. If an ally of the United States is attacked, that's a justification for attacking the attacker, don't you agree?
