Well then, if you say so. Let's just cancel the foreign policy debate and talk about Romney is going to add thousands of jobs with unnecessary military spending that the Pentagon didn't even ask for. I guess this is what they mean by small government.

I will make a mental note that foreign policy is not an issue worth discussing in electing the Commander in Chief for the next four years. Thanks!

I didn't say it wasn't important I said it is not important to a lot of voters,
that between the two major issues, our economy vs our foreign policies,
many would rather hear exactly what is to be done for them, here at home
and our economy mess. Romney may look more attractive there.

You basically said - this isn't important (or not nearly as important as the economy), stop talking about it. Voters can decide what's important on their own, without you dictating it for them.

Other thing I'd say is that, for practical purposes, a president has much, much more impact on foreign policy than on the economy. The economy for the most part is a series of booms and busts and most people, including the president, just reap the rewards or sow the punishment.

Still the economy's current mediocrity is much better than the ongoing collapse of January 2009.

funny stuff dictating thats a new one now I'm a dictator

good lord it's an opinion for cryin out loud

And gee it's an opinion that's all over the news channels too, if you have noticed
the economy is the issue, I swear I didn't make that up or dictate others
to follow the word

the Democrats don't seem to want to notice that though ... I've noticed
that the economy is the issue

it's why we hear the question at every turn...

"are YOU better off than four years ago"?
not are the Iraqi's better off than four year ago :fp:


in my opinion, there we go, average peeps in America want to know whats' in it for them...
common sense, it only makes sense, why Romney might look attractive.
And our President might look like he failed.
