Edited on Sat Apr-28-07 07:12 PM by RGBolen
I know right now the war dominates. But which area of politics do you care more about?

1. Well, I care about both equally. Our internal life in America is important, but we ARE citizens of
the world as well.

So, my choice is the answer that isn't there...!

2. As a voter I have somewhat more control over the domestic
sphere, so I'm more "concerned." Obviously foreign policy has global ramifications, and affects more people, but domestic stuff seems more my business, at the moment.

3. Domestic, as we're losing democracy here while
fighting for it over there.

4. Unless we take our foreign policy back from the brink
We will have no money for domestic policy projects.

6. Not being a "patriot", foreign.

8. I think it is a "think locally act globally" type thing.
Unfair poll



I voted on the poll but didn't like the dichotomy choice.
I went for "think" first and then would go "act" second.
If there was another option, I believe it would have won.

9. Foreign--we have to regain our standing and respect in the world,
finish two wars, be on the alert for terrorism and nuclear proliferation, hammer out trade deals, work on energy policies/global warming with other nations, etc. etc.--all vital stuff, whereas the domestic stuff will often get taken care of in its own way and time on the state and local level. Obviously, I'm thinking prez-race here.
