Republican and Democratic presidential candidates Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are more alike than different in their stances on

many issues like universal health care, gun rights, energy, NDAA, the Patriot Act, Iran, sanctions, economic stimulus. bank and auto bailouts, civil rights, TARP, the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, and campaign donations.

They are both for government mandating healthcare, concur that income taxes should remain the same on those who pay the most and they agree the President may start a war on his own without a declaration of war from Congress like in the current cases of Libya and Syria.  The distinctions, are that one is more inclined toward Labor Unions and the other is more in favor of big business.
