Which One's Better?

We’ve got an election coming up but I haven’t decided who I am going to vote for yet. I’ve heard a couple of things such as "this is not the time to criticize the administration" or "we need to put aside the partisan politics." I strongly disagree with arguments like that, we need a thorough debate now more than ever. Below are the top issues I am looking for the next administration to pursue and I hope to see these issues addressed intelligently by our candidates.
Transparency – Our current administration has done a poor job of informing us or reassuring us about the state of this war. I understand that the administration can't divulge our entire strategy but just saying “we knew we were going to lose states all along” is not an effective message. Consistently closing hard-working citizens out of the loop, especially at a time like this, is the fastest way to drive players away from the eUS.
Don't back out of the war – Giving into Peace after the losses we have faced so far would be disastrous. A lot of players have sacrificed a lot in trying to protect the eUS. Giving up California and Hawaii and then buying back our other regions would ignore those sacrifices, weaken the eUS, and give Peace a chance to rebuild their war chest. Soon this will become a war of attrition and we can’t let Peace wear us down first.
Benefit American businesses and workers – Right now wages are plummeting and businesses are struggling to make a profit. We have some of the lowest import taxes and highest income taxes in the world. It is time to end the free-trade project and get back to working for the players who are funding the massive war we’re currently engaged in.
I hope we have a serious candidate who supports these positions.

Political debate must never be stifled, even in wartime.
America, f- yeah
I agree w/all 3. However, the last is a difficult trick to pull off right now. Income taxes are way too high, I agree. However, import taxes were lowered because with the loss of high-production regions we MUST import from our allies at this time. Otherwise necessities (food, weapons) would be priced well above the new citizens' ability to afford them (and survive.)
Tell those in Washington that you demand change!
Take the poll and show them in force...
