Really it is not important except in dealing with social issues that dont affect most of the country. I would think that economic policy would be the number one issue with foreign policy a close second especially with Russia rattling cages and their close friends Iran building bombs. In my mind abortion and gay marriages and the other emotional topics that the Court deals with are just not that important when compared with a stalled economy and rouge foreign leaders. When was the last really groundbreaking thing that passed through the supreme court?

Gee, maybe we should stop spending 350 million dollars a day in IRAQ.

Iraq has very little to do with our economic issues. Do remember that much of the "cost" of the war is government money spent using American companies which last I looked were still part of our economy.

and the majority of Americans aren't getting infrastructure or anything out of it. Isn't our tax money supposed to help the average American, or is it just to make American companies rich?

Do you ever try to understand the real world? American companies employ American workers who spend American dollars on American goods which makes for more tax revenues for the American govt to spend.

Borrowed money to finance the Iraq War has cut our productive investment. Since taxes have been cut and other spending has increased since the beginning of the Iraq war, the war has been funded using borrowed money. A lot of Iraq-related costs have been borrowed from foreigners. The interest payments on this debt constitute a flow of funds from Americans to those foreigners who have bought our debt. You're gunna mainly see the very rich traveling abroad. That's because our money is worth so little in other countries.

Our money is worth a lot more than it was a few weeks ago

Cannon Shell is a proponent of the failed supply side experiment? A couple of problems though with your real world scenario. Let me fix it for you:

American Companies are employing more and more foreign workers leaving many American workers broke so they spend on credit for foreign goods that are more expensive because of the weakened dollars caused by our lack of tax revenues by our American Government that spends too much.

There, i would say that is more real world.

Yeah the poor American worker. Like the ones that are driving American automakers out of business because of unskilled labor making $100 an hour and retiring at 50? American companies are to blame for the plight of the poor american worker forced to use their credit cards to buy flat screen tv's. The ones who drive $50000 leased cars and were victims of the awful mortgage men who tricked them into believing they too could live in a $400k house on $38000 a year. What exactly is the % of American companies that have foreign operations?

Your solution is to elect Obama to tax the heck out of the rich to keep up with that out of control govt spending?

Real world is living within your means and stop blaming the someone else for all your problems when those means are exceeded.

I would not look forward to 20 years of strict constitutionalism that would have a good chance of changing the past 35 years.

i don't see that happening, regardless of who wins the election. they'd never make it through the process to get on the bench. nominating isn't the same as naming a judge.

I do. As a lifelong registered Republican who has never voted for a Democratic president or senator in my life, I'm done with the uberconservative bullshit. The GOP screwed McCain, and insulted my intelligence, forcing that useless VP choice on him. Over the past many years, although I've liked the guy, I have never seen McCain as presidential material. And he still isn't.

I can't wait to cast my vote for Obama this go round.

Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us. We are fellow Americans, an association that means more to me than any other .

How can you argue with that

I can say that vomit inducing posts do not become you.
