Robomney, Robama...blah, blah. Same guy, different skin color.
The only thing that needs to be decided between now and November is if the powers that be think the US population is controllable as things hit the shitter in the next four years. If they're deemed controllable, Obama gets the nod and the slow vice grip of the surveillance-security state and dismantling of the Republic continues under the Democratic™. Under an Obama presidency what's left of the Left can more easily be co-opted, thinking that "Obama is just being hampered by the Republicans in Congress..." Funny, he's not hampered in issuing executive orders for more foreign wars and drone killings, but if he needs to extend unemployment benefits or help anyone socially, well then "his hands are tied by Congress."
If on the other hand, The Powers That Be fear the masses Romney will win it, and you'll see actual public opposition on the streets to Romney's policies (which would be only a hair's difference from what Obama would do in any case) and out would roll in full force the wonderful police state apparatus in full force.
Get the fuck out now of this burning ship.
These are the only things that matter. Any political commentary on CNN or FOX or whatever is all smoke and mirrors - Birthers this, unemployment that, Trump this, Tea Party that, Occupy this...blaw blaw blaw.It's all about putting the final seal on Empire now. Republic is over folks, move along.
