SOPA II: Electronic Boogaloo?

[giblets]

Democrats bad, Republicans really really bad.

[Ben Kenobi]

Kinda bursts your whole Democrats Good, Republicans Bad slogan dunnit?

Here's a challenge for Oerdin, will he vote for Romney if Obama doesn't veto SOPA II?

[Dinner]

No, because Romney is even worse. I'd probably use some sort of protest vote like the Green Party or maybe Peace & Freedom. Not that it really matters since this state is blue as can be.

Exactly which major policies do they disagree on? Outside of empty rhetoric and platitudes, they're virtually carbon copies. Both tools of Goldman Sachs, Big Pharma, Big Banking, and the military-industrial complex.

Here's the two agreeing on pretty much everything:

Yep, so blue it elected Arnie. Twice.

(Though no one will contest that California is likely in Obama's pocket)

Arnie wasn't an extremist loon like most of the Republican governors today.

He was actually a moderate Republican and pro-choice. Exactly the type Republicans need nationally if they want to come back from the insane asylum.

On the other hand he was completely incompetent, unlike many of the Republican governors today.

Republicans in favor of abortion would never be able to win nationally.

Can't he just do what Romney did and lie?

[regexcellent]

I suspect Romney is actually against abortion, but was hypothetically for it temporarily for the sake of Massachusetts, not against it in general and only for it for the presidential election.

It's possible Schwarzenegger could pull it off but Romney really is the master at that.

That's the stance he took re: Romneycare when it was brought up in the GOP debates. Said he supported it because he was in a "liberal" state that had popular support for it. Romney is a political weathervane, whichever way the wind blows, he follows.
