US politicians do not have concerns because they have enough money and power to overcome all of their personal concerns. Instead, US politicians have "priorities", i.e., they prioritize according to what will add to or extend their wealth and/or power.
Thus, winning their own election is priority #1, and this carries over to whatever is in #2 through #97. The troops are somewhere within those numbers, depending entirely upon how sacred the individual politicians consider life to be. And most support abortion, so you can tell that most have no regard for the lives of others.
The USA is way down the list, considering that we are rapidly headed to hell in a handbasket, due to our wishy-washy, do-nothing politicians led by a dunderhead Commander.
Psst! Quit bickering, everybody! No matter what sinks our ship, we're all going to drown if we don't start pumpin' together...SOON!

Must these be mutually exclusive? Must all politicians be painted with the same brush? Of course they care about winning or they wouldn't run!
I think that each candidate should be evaluated based on one's personal perspective and that each eligible American should get to cast the vote of their choice based on their individual criteria. Maybe this is obviously true, but maybe not. Seems like there are people who wish to push their choice on others as the only acceptable choice, and I won't go along with that.
Personally, I want a President who stays tough on terrorism yet is zealous about upholding our US Constitution. All of it. I think that there are some anti-Bush people who want to pick and choose which part of the Constitution they wish to uphold and they want to apply our US C rights to enemies of the US. I won't buy that.
I also am concerned about the illegal issue and our response to it. I am unwilling to sit idly by while the US becomes a police state presumably to deport illegals. I am unwilling to submit to a national ID to stop illegals from entering. I want a president who pays attention to this issue and can address all of our privacy and/or governmental control concerns. I believe in State's rights and we have already submitted to State ID. The government can work with that, in my opinion, and States already are.
As far as national healthcare goes, I think we need to achieve consensus and we have not. If in doubt, don't. Don't force something on Americans that Americans don't want.
Thanks for the opportunity.

The only real goal most politicians have is to stay in power i.e. winning elections.

A statesman thinks about the next generation, a politician thinks about the next election.

Winning elections so they continue to have some power, ego, and lots of donations.
