What are the issues that you are concerned about for the upcoming election?

Question

I'm frankly just curious which issues people are thinking about?

Answer 1

The ongoing erosion of our liberties by the federal government.  

Answer 2

The Economy

The War/Soldiers

Oil/Gas Prices

Corporate Welfare

Education

Global Warming

Health Care

ILLEGAL immigration

Answer 3

Number one for me is immigration reform.  McCain and Obama are about the same on this one.

Number two is national security.  On this one I give a huge edge to McCain.

Number three is gas prices.  On this one I give a big edge to McCain and if Palin can convince him to support drilling in ANWR, then he will have a huge edge here as well.

These are just my priorities, yours may differ.

BTW I also want lower taxes.  Both claim they won't raise my taxes and I'm not sure I believe either one.

Answer 4

One of the biggest problems is the national deficit.  It's something you don't see on a day to day thing but the number we are in debt has gotten out of control.   It all seems fine today but someday that money has to be paid back by the US govt.

There are only two ways the govt has of getting money to pay its debts.  One is taxing it out of you, in which case you will lose more of your hard earned money to the govt.  Two is printing it, causing ridiculous inflation meaning your money that you have saved will no longer be worth as much.  Either way you lose and this has to stop now.

Answer 5

I dislike Obama because he has ties to known terrorists and his affililiations with racial preachers for the last 20+ years. Obama's upbringing was that of radical islamic extremists. Obama doesn't salute or pledge allegiance to our flag. These facts should be good enough for everyone NOT to vote for this person.  

Answer 6

International policy with the EU,  Russia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, The Middle East in general. Oil prices and delivery of enough refined products. Domestic health care, domestic economy and failing banks, failing housing market and the loss of jobs. Taxes must not go up! People are already paying to much for way less.  We need LESS government involvement in people's lives.  Last but not least, the illegal immigration issue and giving benefits to people that do not deserve them.

Answer 7

These are the issues that I am concerned with.  Unfortunately you'll never hear either candidate mention them.

1. First and foremost the U.S. dollar must be shored up and    strengthened. The dollar is dangerously close to losing its position as the world's reserve currency which would be a disaster for the U.S.  

2. In time I would like to see a return to the Gold Standard.

3. Reform of the Federal Reserve System.  First and foremost they must be forced to  once again to publish the all important M3 statistic.   Things have gotten so far out of hand with the money supply they stopped publishing out of embarrassment, stating

that it was not worth the cost to calculate an publish it.  

4. Accelerated deployment of NMD system (National Missile Defense).   North Korea’s Missiles can just about reach the West Coast.    I don’t much care for California but I’d hate to see San Francisco nuked just because that loon Kim Jong-Il has a bad hair day.

5. Repudiation of the Carter Doctrine of 1980

6.  Restoration of the Line Item Veto

Answer 8

I'm concerned that people are being brain washed by Obama.

Answer 9

Economy = keeping EVERYONES taxes low

morals = give abortions only for incest, rape, and medical reasons

oil and alternative energy = drill now and find an alternative now

War = finish the job quickly and get out

less socialist programs we have to many not being used and too many being abused

Answer 10

Of course I am concerned with all of the issues.

Answer 11

Basically....everything!  The economy, the war, health care, illegal immigration, taxes, foreign policy.  They all go hand-in-hand and you can make valid arguments for any of them.  

Answer 12

the economy and the war.

Answer 13

Nuclear War. That is if McCain is elected. He would declare war on Iran and Russia, stay in Iraq and s***w up Afganistan. He would die of old age and this Sarah Palin chic would be president.  

Answer 14

economy health insurance for every one job loses the war  

Answer 15

obama's massive tax the middle class and increase government control over everything.

obama's history with people that HATE america.

obama's lack of standing for anything..who is he really....voting present ....

obama's callousness toward babies... "They are a punishment" voting to withhold medical care for babies born alive during abortions ...

obama is an evil evil man

Answer 16

One issue, the dali bama might get elected.

God help us all.

Answer 17

skin...

lmao

Answer 18

We need to get out of Iraq because it is bankrupting us. There are much more urgent problems to deal with, like global warming and peak oil, but as long as we are stuck in the quagmire all other problems will be put on hold.

Answer 19

With McCain's age, it isn't unreasonable to think that maybe he won't finish a four year term.  Would I want a "hockey-mom" running the country?  That's a big issue.
