How does Romney distinguish himself from Obama in the general election? They both support all the same policies.

Both support socialized medicine, global warming, liberal judges, gay marriage, refuse to support states efforts to reform union negotiations, prefer to vote present on issues.

Wait...I found one. Obama’s plan defines the rich at $250k, Romney’s defines the rich at $200k. Maybe they can debate and the finer points of socialized medicine.

” Both support socialized medicine, global warming, liberal judges, gay marriage, refuse to support states efforts to reform union negotiations, prefer to vote present on issues.”

Last I read he was for universal health care but not run by the Federal government . Tax deductions and tax breaks in his plan . Wants to deregulate private insurance .

Ronmney believes that there should be a national standard for marriage and that it should be kept between man and woman.

He is against the Kyoto Protocol .

He is for ILLEGAL immigration .

He is pro Israel .

Yes , overall he is too liberal for my taste but head and shoulders above Obama .

Exactly.

Can't you just picture an Obama-Romney debate?

BO: “My opponent has the same position as me on socialized health care.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

BO: “My opponent has, many times in the past, expressed the same position that I have on immigration.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

BO: “My opponent has the same position as I do on gun control.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

BO: “My opponent has the same position as me on gay marriage.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

BO: “My opponent has repeatedly expressed in the past the same position on abortion that I have.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

BO: “My opponent has demonstrated while governor of Massachusetts that he is willing to appoint three times as many democrats to the bench than republicans. While I’d not appoint any republicans, his position on judicial appointments are 75% of the way a reflection of my own.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

BO: “While it is well known that I’m no fan of Reaganomics and its attack on the middle class and lower class of this nation, my opponent expressed the same attitude in the past when running for the U.S. Senate.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

BO: “One area where my opponent and I DO differ on is jobs. I fight for them, while my opponent spent 25 years at Bain Capital buying struggling companies and tearing them apart and putting hard working people in the unemployment lines so he and his Wall Street buddies could pocket the profits.”
MR: “Let me explain the difference.”

And on and on ad nauseum. I’ll take my chances with Newt over Romney in a street fight with Obama ANY DAY.
