Is Mitt Romney really all that different from Barack Obama? Where is the CHOICE?

Obama signed two extensions of the Patriot Act, signed NDAA into law (allows for indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without charges), assassinated an American citizen (Bush didn't even do this), kept Guantanamo open (after promising to close it in his first year), kept Monsanto people high up in the FDA (Christine Escobar), still raids legal medical marijuana facilities (after saying he would stop this practice), tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan (morphed it from an anti-terror campaign to a nation building campaign), kept Bush's guy running the federal reserve (Seriously...Bush's guy?), helped arm Mexican drug cartels (Operation Fast and Furious), extended the Bush tax cuts, opposed any effort to re-institute Glass-Steagall (which separates commercial from investment banking), mandated all citizens make a purchase from a for-profit company (rehashed REPUB. idea from the early 90s)....

And then of course there's the kill lists, the PhRMA deal, the drone strikes, the refusal to enforce immigration laws (I mean it's not like Obama is the top law enforcement officer......oh wait), the unwillingness to replace a corrupt and/or inept Attorney General etc. etc

Its an insult to compare the two men.

I don't know if I 100% agree with assessments of either men, but I do agree that during this election, conservatives especially, have to choose between the lesser of two evils. I don't really like either of the men, but would vote for romney because I feel that with him the house and senate could keep a status quo until the new election. If obama were elected things would still go the way they are because he's already started things (some of which I don't like) and has the ball rolling to finish them. Unfortunately, for my opinions, the status quo is going to be the best option for right now.

Assassinated a US citizen? Which one are you thinking of? There were at least three, two killed in the same attack. If you want to attack the President on that issue, please at least know what you are talking about. The rest of your 'question' has similar problems.

Yes, Mitt Romney is different, and not in a good way.
