I am so anguished over seeing so many good US Service men and women dying over there that I want to yell and scream. What is the goal over there?
I had mostly voted based on who stands for the 2nd amendment ie who was endorsed by Gun Owners of America Inc and/or the NRA. But now having voted mostly Republican and sometimes Libertarian I would vote for John Edwards over Gulliani,McCain,Hagel,Gingrich,or Brownback any day of the week. Bring home our troops now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Ron Paul: If you are going to fight a war then have the Congress declare war and fight to win!!!!! Do not court marshall our troops for trying to do their job and protect each other and themselves!!!!!!!

In all reality, it hasn't changed the way I would vote that much, because I would (almost) always vote Democrat, and still will. I'm getting more respect for John Edwards every day for his anti-war stance, so it may determine who amongst the Democrats I would vote for in the primaries.
I don't think anyone knows what the goal is/was, anymore, because so much of what we were told about our efforts has turned out to be predicated on misinformation (at best) or outright lies (at worst). If someone can tell me a goal other than "protecting our country," because that's a sentimental answer with no real world ties to what's actually happening, I might change my mind, but right now? I feel like it's become a slaughterhouse, with no efforts on the parts of either government, Iraqi or American to get our soldiers out.

Yes it has me looking at every candidate and what they say very closely. We are stuck in Iraq and there seems to be problems with every strategy. No one should vote on just one issue. As a Massachusetts voter I am very worried that Mitt Romney may get in. He was bad for the State and would be even worse for the country. You can't trust what he says because the next poll or focus group might change his mind.

It has not influenced how I vote. Going into Iraq to find WMD's, in hindsight, was wrong. However, everyone who remembers will tell you that we all thought Saddam had WMD's and the capability to make more. How could anyone not realize the potential threat of Saddam? He was alleged to have WMD's, oil money, paid blood money to suicide bombers families in Israel, ignored many UN Resolutions and it was post 9-11...would you have sat around and waited ?
The incessant Bush Bashing by the Left has made me MORE unwilling to ever vote for a Dem!

Thats just it.
The only sacrifice required has been asked of the soldiers and their families.
However, getting the US out of Iraq isn't necessarily the answer. Getting the US out of the middle of their civil war is.
I would suggest that we get out of the cities and urban areas and protect the Iraqi borders from foreign fighters, weapons, etc. coming in.
Let the Iraqis settle their own differences.

no way yet.liberterians are nothing more than a different shade of democrat.
if ron paul were president and he asked for a declaration of war,and congress approved i strongly suspect he would bow to the torrent of political assults.
we have ,after all ,become a country of polical parties and no longer a country of americans.

No. But the Democrat rhetoric and actions that have undermined the war effort and buoyed the insurgent terrorists have definitely made me an anti-Democrat partisan for life.

Republicans can't win wars. There is too much money in waging war and none in victory. Turn the war over to a sargent and it will be over soon.

I am not changing because I voted the correct way before.

I'm sorry to hear that you'd be willing to throw away your 2nd amendment rights over anti-war hysteria.
