Re: Election 2008, Who's the best Candidate for FIRST?

The latter was my basis for voting for McCain (although it can be argued he is not a true conservative, which is why I added Romney in my reply post).
Personally, I'd prefer to not invade sovereign nations and waste billions upon billions of taxpayer's dollars to oust a dictator who had nothing to do with the terrorists of 9/11.

I think you'd find that if America had the choice, we'd be out of Iraq in an awful big hurry.

My point here is not to incite a riot, but merely similar to Tristan's. If Americans had the choice of what to put their money to, nothing that didn't directly benefit themselves would get done, on the whole. That's why we are a democracy by representation-we trust our representatives that we elect to decide how to do things that we are too uninvolved, or uninterested in doing.
