Are They Really Any Different?

Ok. We've had four years of Barak Obama. We know how he operates. We have heard for ourselves what he promised and what he actually has done with this nation.

Do we really know who Mittens is?

Is he really going to be a president who works for the people?

Re: Are They Really Any Different?

Let's see.

Someone who was raised to believe that America/Western Culture is what is wrong with the world
or
Someone who believes that America/Western Culture has been the world's guiding light.

I would say there is quite a bit of difference.

Re: Are They Really Any Different?

In many ways there is not a lot of difference between the two parties...however I believe there is enough of a difference between the candidates, I'm willing to cast an eager vote for Mitt.

So....it's ok to flip flop to the point to where you keep people guessing what you are really all about?

And I believe that Jesus Christ was the light of the world? Isn't Christ supposed to bring light to the world? Don't you believe that too?

Neither Romney nor Obama can be a light to this darkened world...nor any culture.

So you would believe that Obama lies to us but Romney does not lie?

It's embarrassing and alarming how the Republicans are running after this man "eager" to cast a vote for him.

Did I say anything about what I believe.

No.

You seem too eager to slam someone in your little preconceived trap.

I was merely pointing out the differences in THEIR worldview.

Perhaps you accuse & misjudge me the same as you believe I want to slam someone in some 'preconceived' trap. I'm sorry you feel that way as I truly had no intention of 'trapping' anybody. My intention for this was to show to Romney supporters that he is just running a campaign. He is telling the people what they want to hear because all his campaign managers know how fed up the people are with the current administration. They are feeding him talking points from all the polls they do when they call the american people at their homes for their opinions. Romney is saying all the right words. The people are falling for Romney's brand of hope and change ...it's just that this is just a different type of 'hope and change' that most likely will never materialize just like Obama's hope and change never materialized.

Now Romney said all the right words years ago to get elected governor. The video shows how he manipulates the system. He said so himself and tells how he did it right in that video.

You may have been talking about their world view, but you implicated favor of at least one of their world views which extols that the America/Western Culture has been the world's guiding light. If western culture has been the world's guiding light, then why is our own country sliding into a Godless system of fascism/socialism/communism? Why is our government refusing to acknowledge God?

...and you did not answer my first question.

Re: Are They Really Any Different?

AYR - I apologize for my assumption.
I did seem to me that you were setting up the response!
I will give you a more logical response when I can.
God Bless.
