Is Romney 2012 as bad as McCain was in 2008?

[Agorism]

Remember how terrible he was? Romney and McCain were in competition with him in those 2008 debates trying to out-hawk each other although McCain eventually won it.

Yes.

[UWDude]

They are all part of the same plan, so he is also as bad as Obama 2008. Obama was made to deceive us, so we would not slow down their agenda. Had McCain won, they would have been happy, because then they would have accelerated it, but make no mistake about it, they are still driving us to the same cliff in the end... ...and are confident they will get us there.

But do not worry, they have made a prime strategic mistake, they have underestimated us.

[James Madison]

McCain was half-senile then and is fully-senile now.
Romney is in full control of his sinister actions. The man is evil; he is the ultimate example of selfishness taken to the extreme. He cares for no one but himself and his previous actions have clearly demonstrated this.

You can't really tell from their campaigning since they're both crooks and liars. Look at George W. Bush as an example of campaign rhetoric vs. administration performance. They're all just tools.

For the short-run McCain is worse, but Romney is awful too. For the long-run, they're about the same.

[Agorism]

American Enterprise Institute was DEMANDING that McCain start bombing Iran as soon as he takes office to avoid catastrophe.

Notice now it's 4-5 years later, and there was never a problem to begin with.

McCain is slightly worse when it comes to domestic issues / economics IMO.

[Anti Federalist]

Romney is much worse as he'll say anything.

McCain is a "true believer", so, no matter how bad, you know where is coming from at all times.

Romney will give you a reach around with one hand while stabbing you with the other.

Romney will also smile the whole time and try to "win you over" while giving said reach around and stabbing you so it depends on how freaky you like it. That could be a difficult question for many voters in any sort of denial.

[cindy25]

no, McCain was much worse; McCain is a true believer in military intervention and had no interest in domestic policy; his sons joined the military. Romney has no interest in foreign policy. and Obama is far worse in 2012 than in 2008.

Oh really? McCain is terrible but he didn't create the first mandated healthcare system.

he would have, given the chance. McCain supported a draft in his first run for congress.

[paulbot24]

McCain's 100 year "grand plan" for Iraq was a real piece of work. I don't put it past Romney to come up with something like that for Iran though. He'll probably try to leave Iran to Josh in his will. Always try to keep it in the family. Helps with legacy.

[Sola_Fide]

Hard to say. They are both part of everything we want to change.

[Legend1104]

I think Romney will do anything to get elected. I truely believe McCain is a nut job. Hard to choose but I would say McCain.

[cindy25]

one thing in Romney's favor is his Mormonism; he has no religious interest in Israel. and Romney at least understands war with Iran would ruin the economy. but to give Romney a rubber stamp congress? that is scary.

[thoughtomator]

Is it really worth debating the relative merits of puppets?

[ShowMeLiberty]

Does it really matter?

[daviddee]

No.

[AuH20]

Romney is not an ideologue like McCain so no.

[Agorism]

Romney does whatever he thinks helps him in the moment?

[paulbot24]

Romney does whatever he thinks helps him in the moment?

And when he's unsure he can always "sit down and consult with his attorneys." Paul eviscerated him for saying that during a debate when Romney was asked about what he would do with the Iran situation.

[DamianTV]

McCain was half the speaker Romney is, and just as dirty. This makes Romney at least twice as bad. More people believe the well spoken lie.

[KingRobbStark]

I believe Romney is worse, because with McCain you at least know where he stands.
