It doesn't matter who wins the White House tomorrow...

Would you like to know why it doesn't really matter who wins the White House tomorrow?  I will give you a list:
  1. Gitmo is still open, and will likely remain open regardless of who wins.
  2. Torture is still used in interrogations.*
  3. Warrantless wiretapping still goes on.*
  4. There is still wholesale assassination using automated drones.
  5. We still abduct and torture foreign nationals.
  6. We bribe the leaders of other countries for our economic gain.
  7. We invade other countries (Libya, Pakistan, more than likely Syria soon) without the consent of Congress and then call it something other than war.
  8. Both men support Bush's tax cuts for the rich (even if Obama claims he does not).
  9. Both will let the Fed continually print money based on nothing, further devaluing the dollar.
  10. Abortion.  Seriously, neither is going to do anything.  It is just a political talking point.
  11. We have more people incarcerated than China.
You want to know what the difference is between Obama and Romney?  Who they will choose for the Supreme Court.  I suggest you make your choice based on that, or you vote third party.  As for me, I am voting third party.

*Yes, Obama knows this is ongoing, and yes, he could stop both of these if he chose.
