What does each candidate believe in? I am not sure either candidate believes in much, but I can list some things they claim to believe, what they supported, what party they are, etc.
Obama said he would like to see single payer health care but that it might not be politically possible. He supports the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Romney claims he will repeal it.
Neither candidate supports the legalization of marijuana.
Obama said he considers water-boarding a form of torture. Romney said he does not.
Both candidates support the NDAA.
Romney is supposedly a Mormon. Obama is supposedly a Christian.
Obama is a member of the Democratic Party. Romney is a member of the Republican Party.
Romney's top contributors are investment firms. Obama's are a bit more diverse, with universities and investment firms at the top.
Both candidates claim that teaching "intelligent design" or creationism in schools is not science.
Neither candidate has claimed to be opposed to the PATRIOT Act.
Obama recently claimed to support gay marriage. Romney does not.
Critics of Obama on the left and libertarian right often say Obama is pro-war and awful on civil liberties. His defenders often point to the Constitution and Republican-dominated congress and say that impeded his ability to make the changes he wanted.
Critics of Romney say he is the ultimate "flip-flopper" for supporting a bunch of policies and changing to the opposite position later, making him an extremely unpredictable demagogue. Fans of Romney insist that he can turn the economy around and that is most important.
This is getting too long, but look up their gun rights positions, wars, supposed budget plans, etc.
