A huge meme on Facebook was that there was absolutely no difference between Obama and Romney. This was perpetuated by Ron Paul and Gary Johnson fans. I saw numerous graphics posted on FB and it’s easy for them to go viral, thus spreading their message.
On many important fiscal issues there was no difference.
Both candidates and vp candidates support big government, sometimes on different things, but essentially endless spending, pork etc.
Of the 4 candidates, 3 voted for the TARP bailouts and Romney said he would have if he had been in Congress.
Where is the choice there for people who opposed big government bailouts?
