That they are both bought and paid for by the same corporate money. Where do the hundreds of millions to fund the campaigns come from? You don't think that those interests might, you know, want something in return?
All mainstream political "discussion" is simply a distraction from the true issues. To think anything else is just naive.
Quite frankly, that's bullshit. Romney/Ryan advocate a rollback of my rights and continued (or furthered) discrimination against me. That's only one small social issue that they differ on and they differ on policies that involve much more substantive issues.
Maybe you're privileged or fortunate enough to not be affected by tax rates, women's rights legislation, gay rights issues, and more, but many of us aren't. Those issues matter and that's why some support Romney and some support Obama.
As for national health-care, education, science, etc, they very noticeably and very starkly differ as well.
... I feel like you just supported what I was saying. My second post was simply an example of how they differ in meaningful ways.
Oh I certainly agree.
How clueless are people about social issues exactly?
