The Price of an Unpopular War

    Interestingly enough, presumed Republican presidential candidate John McCain continues to take a stance on the Iraqi War that is blatantly unpopular with most American voters.  A growing majority of citizens believe that the war is too costly and too bloody to have us continue.     
    Yet, this fact does nothing to sway McCain from his position.  A continuation of American presence in Iraq long into the future is one of his primary presidential objectives. If elected, McCain vows to maintain or increase the troops sent oversees.

    Do we want a president who is at odds with the majority of Americans? 

    Should the voting public focus on other Republican-held ideas as a reason to support their party’s candidate instead of ‘issue voting’?

    Why is McCain so adamantly in favor of the war?
