I listed just a few differences in my post above, from the top of my head. I like to be brutally fair, and avoid one sentence posts without backing up with facts.

I'm glad that I could correct some of your claims.

Romney was to the left of Obama on so many of those issues that you listed. Issues that Obama was late to, like gays in the military and gay Scout leaders and so on, immigration, gay marriage, guns, etc, are old lifelong positions for Mitt. Mitt, whose dad was born in Mexico, after his family rejected America and left this country, didn’t start reversing himself on those positions, until he was almost 60 years old, and running for president.

Don’t worry you did show that Willard might be getting ready to run again himself this time..

He can usually drum up some pseudo ‘conservatism” just days before he announces..

But check out who he invited to his exclusive hole-in-the-mountain-gang big doin’s...all RINOs not one amongst them who would attack ISIS (outside of Lindsey, maybe)

not one who would stand for traditional marriage..

not one who would fight against hordes of illegal aliens invading our sovereign shores..

not one who would stand up to Obama’s schemes..

not one who would fight against abortion...

etc

Nixon was a naval officer during World War II.

Now now, Publius, there's no need to confuse the irrationally obstinate with facts! Their minds are made up; you'll only earn their scorn and abuse...

A Quaker who never saw combat. He claimed he volunteered. Yes, He was a Navy Ensign supply type. Ask a WWII vet if you can find many.

Despite his shortcomings, this is helpful. I wish someone would point out that the affirmative action which enabled the fraud in the Oval Office to rise to his position is completely ineffective in foreign policy. Neither Vladimir Putin, the Ayatollahs of Iran, nor the leaders of Isis, nor anyone else the fraud is up against, give a hoot if the fraud is a smiling half-white anxious to play on white guilt.

Only a true nutcase, a troll, could look at post 11,

“”So the anti-war draft dodger (he did publicly support the draft and the war for others), who has never had a male in his direct line ever serve America in uniform, during their entire 173 years here, is now an expert in foreign policy.
His father ran against Nixon and Reagan as the anti-war candidate seeking to become Commander in Chief during war time, while his son Mitt took a Mormon issued draft deferment and fled to France, as he said, “I was not planning on signing up for the military.” _ “ It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam”.
In 2008, and 2012, Mitt romney ran to be Commander in Chief during wartime, while his sons avoided, refused, to serve in the military, as all of romney’s direct male line have, since the arrived in America to serve Joseph Smith in 1842.
No war, no draft, no national wave of patriotism, no 9/11, no Pearl Harbor, no anything, has ever inspired one of them to break that perfect streak, of refusing to serve.””

and then bring up Lieutenant Commander Nixon of WWII.

How do you look at the entire American history of Romney’s line of military avoidance, 173 years, and come back with “Nixon did not serve”, as a one sentence response, or whatever you trolls call it?

That is a lie, and that wonderful historical detail comes from the same guy who 20 minutes ago, thought that ""Nixon did not serve"".

Not only did he serve, as you and the rest of us who are sane know, but he was a career military man, retiring with 24 years in the military, from WWII until his retirement as a Commander in the Navy Reserves.

Which of my claims did you correct? I never mentioned anything about military, and posited that Romney flip flopped on social issues. I posited the following DIFFERENCES between Mitt & Barack. And I believe I am correct on all of this items. But I am open to any corrections, since my memory is no longer my top suit. Memory is the 2nd thing that goes!!

Mitt - For self-deporting illegals
Barack - encourages illegal youngsters to flood in.

Mitt - Wants to attack ISIS
Barack - ISIS is JV, pretty much ignores the threat.

Mitt - Pro-business mentality
Barack - “You did’nt build that”, Spread the wealth mentality

Mitt - Not afraid to say “radical Islamists”
Barack - “Islam is a religion of peace, I have heard the beautiful sound of Islamic prayers from the mosques in Indonesia”

Mitt - His academic record is an open book
Barack - His academic record is sealed.

Mitt - Both parents were US Citizens and has original BC.
Barack - Father was never a US citizen, and has a computer synthesized Hawaiian BC.

Your LTC Grossman is a joke. You are becoming a joke. Seriously folks thought Nixon was a CO (conscientious objector)in the NAVY during WWII.

Look at his meritorious award for sending men into harms way and supplies while he sat in safety. You might understand the WWII Vets rage.

Another DIFFERENCE between Willard & Hussein:-——

Romney lurched to the right during campaign, Obama has lurched to the left on ALL social issues after campaign was over.

Mitt is the most passionate pro-abortion warrior to ever reach his level in the GOP, he is the Governor who gave America gay marriage, when Obama opposed it.

Mitt has been an aggressive warrior for the gay agenda for decades, just as he has been for abortion, calling for gay scout leaders, and full homosexual acceptance in the military, for more than 20 years.

Romney attacked Ted Kennedy more than 20 years ago, for being too weak in supporting the gay agenda.

Romney supported amnesty and had a deep and personal relationship with illegal immigration.

I pointed out Mitt’s family anti-Americanism and that his father was born in Mexico, not while just visiting, but because they rejected America.

I was correcting a false image of Romney that you try to sell, as you promote him and strive to maintain his power to influence republican politics, and counter conservatism.

As far as Isis, or any other military issue in the current news that his advisers tell him to what to say, Romney has no interest in such things, and no particular knowledge, he merely parrots political advice, and that is a recent development for political imagery, not a lifelong interest of his own.

Mitt Romney is a successful businessman and we owe some 20 trillion. The libertarians sat out. Now they want US to accept Cruz. WRONG.

Huh?

Romney started lying to win the nomination of the party that he despises so much, that he actually left it when Reagan started winning.

Obama has moved left since being elected, and he is the LEADER of the left, he was elected as the LEADER of the left as the leader of his DEMOCRAT PARTY, yet many of his positions, had to catch up to Romney’s deeply held, life long politics and positions.

Remember that for years, Romney, as an Independent, after leaving his party over Reagan and conservatism, only supported democrats, only fund raised for democrats, and even voted as a democrat.

I hope that there is someone there with you, that can help you wind down, and get yourself under control.

“Only a true nutcase, a troll, could look at post 11,”

You posted this and you might ask who was Mitt Romney’s main Veteran Advisor for his campaign. Hint. The man was a SF officer in Vietnam, a friend, who he has two sons who earned green berets and you think you know all.

Interesting.

Democrats also put rats into office.

Republicans also put rats into office.

The office is infested with rats and has been for a long time.

I’m not really sure what your point is.
