Quote: I'm starting to see that old meme of "both candidates are pretty much the same" come up
Of course they are not the same - Romney is far worse but he is the least of the problem. The greater part of the problem is that he will bring the neo-con asswipes back into power so we can start more wars... and then demand that social programs be cut to pay for them!
Obama has been a major disappointment but when you realize that the government bureaucracy is inherited and passed along you see why things never change. Sure.... the president comes in and appoints a new Attorney General. But other than a handful of other political appointees the rest of the DOJ remains intact...doing what they had been doing all along. Bureaucracies change very slowly. The same applies to virtually every other department.
