Just look at the flawless transition between Bush and Obama. There is literally no difference in their foreign policy. They are both imperialists stooges loyal to the corporate elite. Pre 9-11, the bush administration planned to do regime change in 7 counties Afganistan, Iraq, Venezuela, Libya, Sryia, Yemen and finally Iran. This information comes from a state dept; doc titled "project for a new american century". Bush invaded 2 and attempted a coup d'tat in another. Obama has bombed a 4th and aided rebels in the 5th. We have also been doing covert ops assassination + sabotage in Iran since 2007. Obama has increased the funding to these operations from 400mil/year to over billion.
There is only one political will in America. The failed campaign of Ron Paul despite support from over 30% of the country is proof that alternate ideas are not allowed. If you followed the republican primary at all you would know that Ron Paul won the state of Iowa ( the 1st state to vote in the primaries aka very important to win) It was only after 30,000 votes from 3 Pro Paul Counties went uncounted in the final tallies that they declared Ron Paul as tied for 2nd. In the weeks the followed the Republican election commissioner was forced to resign in disgrace after the uncounted votes became public knowledge. With out this act of overt election fraud, (not widely reported in US media) the media slander that Paul is "unelectable" would have had little merit and I suspect Paul would have won the primary. I've wrote about this more with citations in the "How did america get so ****ty" thread.
But seriously. Obama = Bush, Bush = Obama, Obama = Romney. These men can only be defined separably by a handful of trivial social issues like gay marriage. Rarely are these red herrings ever legislated by the candidates in office.
