Yes, I know. Some of you will say that Romney's positions were the same as Obama's. I personally don't believe that's the case.

Among my worries about a Romney presidency was my fear that he would actually make big government functional and efficient.

Was he still going to be black? If so, same outcome.

No it would not have made a bit of difference, they were voting for the guy.

There are “man on the street” interviews with people being asked about whether they agree with Romney on this or that but substituted Obama’s positions. They HATED the positions (or was it just the guy they hated and his money and his skin color and his religion).

The masses are dumbasses who really don’t have a clue as to who they are voting for until October.

Maybe not everyone but at least a third of this nation with an additional sizeable block who are voting solidly Dem without knowing the candidates names, which party(ies) control the House or Senate etc.

Obama's platform, as well as Romney's, was largely irrelevant.

What mattered was the media's message about their platforms. The vast majority of voters had no idea what either candidate stood for, rather they were interested in the opinions expressed about them by various comedians and other media personalities.

I contend that if voters selected candidates based only on a list of issues and the candidates positions on such, the outcome would be quite different. Although I will admit, the results of many ballot referenda don't necessarily bear this out.

Romney could have offered them free NIKE’s and they would not have voted for him, but they would have rioted and trampled him if they thought they might be able to steel them from him.

The reality is that in a world constructed and maintained by central bankers, political personalities and policies are increasingly irrelevant. It is now totally about maintaining the Ponzi.

That’s why you would have seen little difference between Romney or Obama. History will show we locked into our destiny long ago.

You know, as I consider your question, I think you are right. The platforms didn’t make the difference, in fact most didn’t even know the platforms. No arguments made a bit of difference with those who just kept repeating, “I am a lifelong Democrat, I am a lifelong Democrat, I am a lifelong Democrat.”

Obama would have won no matter what he ran on.

Just look at indicted and mentally ill Jesse Jackson Jr.’s. He didn’t debate or campaign. His race, his name and the “D” after his name on the ballot gave him a landslide win in his Rat and racist infested district. He couldn’t debate or campaign.

Obama’s base knows he will continue to provide them free stuff, will continue his Marxist march, and the rest are too stupid to understand the issues. They get their political knowledge from TV comedians and union halls.

I personally DO believe that is the case.

This isn’t rocket science pal... one candidate’s mouth was connected directly to satan’s laptop... the other was a progressive but loves America.

While it may be true that Romney’s positions are different than 0bamao’s, I do not think it would have made a difference.

The pie-eyed 0bamabots and democrat cult worshippers would have voted for him no matter what.

The subject was covered back in July. Lots of links for support.

Yes, it would have increased Obama's margin of victory.

However, it is important to remember that this scenario is total fantasy. Obama, like most liberals, is incapable of clearly stating ANY conservative positions. He could not do it if his life depended on it.
