    Typical.

    Luke Rudkowski hits the streets of NYC to find out where Obama supporters really stand on his policies. Now he did this in an underhanded way where the policies where presented to be Romney's, but this was only done to get an honest opinion. The reactions when the truth was uncovered varied but they were very telling to say the least.

    This is a GAME CHANGER.

    Who knew that anyone but smart, informed and enlightened people (you know, like ME) could be Obama supporters?

    I have to tear down all my mental constructs now and start over from scratch. :( My vote is now in play.

    Maybe a candidate with no firm position on anything, who has hired a neocon wet-dream-team to advise him on foreign policy, and wants more tax cuts on historically low tax rates will be the answer for me! Especially appealing to me would be someone with severe mathematical and geography problems. Is there a candidate like that available? :eek: STAY TUNED.

    I'm sure that it would work the other way around too, presenting Obama's policies as Romney's. In fact there is a good chance that Romney supported just about all of Obama's policies at one time in the past.

    You could do this with most voters for either side's policies. Most voters don't understand policy positions at all and don't know the true differences between the parties.

    I'd rather vote for a man I barely agree with who I can trust than a man who I agree with but cannot trust. As long as Romney continues to flipity flop, he is not getting my vote. Hell, until McCain picked up Palin he had my vote...

    What's worse is the fact that Romney hasn't used any of this stuff against Obama. That only makes a person feel like they agree on this front.

    I remember hearing recently from a few different sources that Obama had expanded the policy on Pred missile strikes that the Bush admin put together. What was his addition? Well, the details were a bit hazy, but the consensus is that any military aged males within a certain blast radius of a SUSPECTED targets are considered fair game. Pretty ****ed up.
