Poll question: Which do you care more about? Domestic or Foreign |
|
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.
