there will be war and rumors...

Foreign policy is important, sometimes vital to the nation's economy and security.  A nation that depends increasingly on the jobs we have exported to produce needs and wants is more and more vulnerable to the effects of events everywhere.

The Republican party-- which has centered it's approach on engaging in warfare at every opportunity-- would like to convince the public that:
it has a superior view of American international interests; and
that military policies and foreign policies overlap to an extent that perhaps only humanitarian aid is outside of the scope of military foreign affairs.
The result is that they would keep us at war and  profits from those wars would fuel their political base.  Corporate America is overwhelmingly Republican as is the military leadership, they say.

I have fundamental doubt about the affiliation thing, but the rest is unfortunately true.  It makes life smple for Republican leaders: GET SOMEBODY-- GET THE GAYS, FAMILY VALUES  man + WOMAN= Family.  Get the poor it is their fault they didn't pick rich parents.  Read the bible and support killing in the name of freedom. the art of hiding the ball at its best.

The lack of ideas and meaningful direction in governing the domestic agenda--the reason they are the Party of --No...is that governing is not important to them, war is.  That is the big payoff.  I think they are right, fixing domestic problems is not nearly as expensive nor profitable---quick example-- for the money we spent --no,  wasted in Iraq doing a job that might have been done much better and more quickly by an international effort without an invasion---lets say $1.5 trillion over  eight years--- every child in the US could have had health insurance, a college trust fund, down payment on their first home, and spending mney for weekends at the mall...or a ringside seat at the Iraq civil War, $1.5 Trillion essentially donated to a nation with more oil than political will to find peace.

Oh, I know my Republican friends, I hear your robotic voices - -- if we helped a generation of children become wealthy  and successful it would ruin the country, it would be un-American like giving rights to gay people, or saving lives in New Orleans instead of just finding a way to blame Democrats; but still it shows what you can buy when you pass by the daily special on war in aisle 7 and shop around a bit, many Americans see, there is an appealing sale on CHANGE.
