I’m not saying Mitt Romney is Ronald Reagan; but Barack Obama is Jimmy Carter!

The issues are the same as in 1980.

• Budget Deficits

• Military Cuts

• US dependence on Arab oil

• Coal and Nuclear Regulations

• Drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf

• Green Energy (Synthetic fuels)

• Iran

• American Sovereignty in treaties (Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty aka SALT in 1980 & Law of the Sea Treaty aka LOST in 2012)

• Viability of Social Security (Dems scaring seniors)

• National Health Insurance & Medicare

• Dem (Carter) solutions are a new Gov’t Department

• Republicanism (Reagan) “less gov’t, less taxes, more freedom for the people”

I hope Romney watches Reagan’s responses.

(Recommendation: watch this on 1.5 speed, Carter’s stutters are less annoying!)
