Obama is Mitt, Mitt is Obama.

that's bs. Obama and Romney are very different people.

This is true.

I always find the "both parties are the same, man" line to be silly. Just because things don't change drastically (generally) from President to President doesn't mean that every President is the same as the last.

While it's possible that they are very different people (we really don't know because all we have is what they tell us and what the journalists are allowed to print), what they could do as president is restricted by factors beyond their control.

Voting either of them in would probably have as near identical results as to make no odds.

Look at the promises they make before they get in and compare it to what they actually do (even the few that don't promise much).

That's not all, them being dishonest or lacking foresight, a large chunk of that is down to living in a chaotic world and being largely powerless.

Also true and I agree one hundred percent; but the parties are, indeed, quite different.

This is what I was saying in my earlier posts about it not really mattering which party gains the presidency; there's only so much the president can do.

Unfortunately the political climate is one of bickering about morals instead of just letting people do what they want and focusing on things that matter to the health of the country. The point is that you should be an American before your political party of choice, and you should support good policies, regardless of what party it's from or whether you agree 100% with every policy they stand for. I feel like people are losing sight of that.
