Brittain is freezing? Giant comet will hit us?
Or..

There is no answer to such a rambling "question".

Who said God is American and why in the world would you base an opinion of a group of people on youtube videos?:hmm:

The answer to that question is so obvious, you should have answered it yourself. Setting a timetable for withdrawal, no matter what the situation is, is a recipe for disaser (anyone remember VietNam?). No brain required to answer that question.

The same way our country can watch a candidate talk of lowering taxes while espousing a proposal (and actually sponsoring a bill in Congress) to increase foreign aid by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Because it's our duty, IMO (

AVG). When we say that nothing will change, it isn't necessarily true. Each candidate has beliefs that we either share or don't share. Each candidate says where they would like to see the country go and we either agree or don't agree. No matter who gets elected, the President can't change everything by himself. Congress and the Senate are where everything happens (other than starting the odd war here or there). Until ALL of our elected officials make doing the right thing for the country (as opposed to themselves) their priority then nothing will change. The only real power the President has is to veto bills that Congress and the Senate have passed besides that whole Supreme Court Justice appointing thing, but then Congress has it's hand in that, too).
