While I care about both, I've found myself a bit more passionate about domestic policy.

Domestic policy.  I think that Ben Franklin does, too.

Foreign Policy, easily. 9/11 and the Iraq War have driven my interest in politics. The latter is probably the primary reason most people here condemn the Bush Administration.

Besides, I've always found foreign policy far more interesting than domestic policy.

I'm passionate about education, health care, urban planning, and the environment... those are mostly domestic issues.

I'm not passionate enough about any issue to seriously consider doing anything about it besides voting, but my big issues relate to small business, business taxes, economic development, and local education.

Darn, I voted the wrong one, I voted #2, when I should have voted #1.  I am more passionate about Domestic issues as those are the issues that affect me on a daily basis.  I love foreign policy, too, but I am a little more passionate about domestic issues.

I'm not passionate about either, but I find Foreign policy more interesting.  We are in a position where we can do a lot of good in the world, and yet for decades our foreign policy has been pretty weak.  We put more bandaid on issues (bother foreign and domestic) than actually solving ones.  I know why we do that (so foreign nations remain dependent upon us), but I think solving problems makes things better for us in the long run.

Yeah, that's pretty much the order for me, only Canada instead of Ireland. Wink

US Domestic, as those are the issues that most directly affect me. US foreign policy comes after that.

Domestic, but foreign policy gets me more riled up right now simply because money and time spent with foreign policy could be better spent domestically.

Absolutely... not having a foreign policy is the foreign policy. That's been the position since about 1938. Tongue

Definitely domestic policy, though obviously the two intertwine in a lot of ways.
