So what are the most important issues in this election to you and why?

Mine is the economy (anti regulation), gun control (against), and The Iraq war (pull out now)

Lol I see that not many people have topics that will influence their choice in the election. People you don't have to agree with me I just want to know what people think.

The economy as #1 issue is pretty much unanimous.
The present housing crisis would be included.

I would put the Iraq War as #2 (timetable with a phased withdrawal).

#3 would be national security (internal).

#4 would be infrastructure (repairing roads, bridges, etc...)

I put infrastructure because more road and bridge
construction is badly needed, it would put people
to work, they would spend more dollars and that would
be a good stimulus for the economy.

#3 would also include immigration reform.

After giving it some very serious thought, I would say that number #1 issue should be get all dual citizenship people and their influence out of our govt and get our Constitution back, since ,I am convinced that they have no use at all for our Constitution, because it is a hindrance to them and their designs. Then EVERYTHING would start falling back into place on its own. Very simple solution to ALL, Yes ALL, our problems, They are the PROBLEM!!!!DUAL CITIZENSHIP PEOPLE INFLUENCING OUR GOVT!!!And running it behind the scenes. Something else to think about?? WHO is HENRY KISSINGER?? WHAT DOES HE DO?? HOW OLD IS HE?? IS HE THE ORIGINAL COPY?? What is his influence in our govt?? WE NEED TO START SOMEWHERE??? Who does he work for? Are you SURE ABOUT THAT??

Immigration reform is a big one for me, it's the policy that creates the problem and I think we should be more leniant on immigration. Enviroment is also at the top of my list.

Some issues I would like to see come up would be gay rights, prohibition and mental health;^]

We don't need immigration reform. We just need enforcement of the laws that are already on the books. And now that that is actually happening in Arizona and Oklahoma, some of the illegals are going back to Mexico on their own. Time for the rest of the states to follow their example.

What we need right now is definitely a better economy, and to focus more on internal security. We spend too much time in other peoples business and not enough in our own.

Close the border and protect the country (#1 and #2)


These two issued go hand in hand.

Carnies. An entire government body run by carnies.

We will solve the violence in the middle east with a giant traveling carnival. Those poor Al Qaeda boys are just mad because they've never been on a Tilt-A-Whirl before. :wink:
