Which of your presidential candidate's issues is most important to you, and please explain.?

Question

Note, this is not about why you like your candidate because they are not the other candidate. That isn't a policy. I want to know the issue that is important to you and your candidates policy on the issue.

Please, don't make me read a bunch of "I hate McSame" or "I hate Bin Biden"

Also note, neither Biden nor Palin is running for president currently.

Answer 1

When I first say Sarah Palin....SCHWINGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why I'm voting McCain/Palin.  

Answer 2

ABORTION, WOMEN'S RIGHTS, EDUCATION AND TROOPS

Answer 3

Heath Care

Thats why I'm voting McCain

Answer 4

Since moving to a more socialistic country I have learned how detrimental liberal policies are to a society. So I won't vote for a candidate who wants to move the U.S. down that path of destruction.

I left the U.S. a liberal Democrat, but I will be voting McCain in November.

Answer 5

War

Health care

Oh and having a candidate that wont take away my rights and try to turn the country communist.

Answer 7

3 issues i care about are healthcare, funding our troops, and the economy, obama pimp slaps mccain in all 3.

Answer 8

To me it all boil down to the money. What is there policy for our economy?

You can talk all you want about health care, policy for energy, paying minimum wage, policy about the war in Iraq, and possibly Iran, things like bringing our troops home. All of the things that I've listed are key factors for a candidate to win the election because we as middle and low class American want to hear about those. We want to know what it's gonna impact and HELP us. Who has a better plan for us?

All of these things require money people. Obama kept on saying on national TV that we owe China. YES, we do owe a lot of money. As of April 2008, we owe 9.8 Trillion dollars. The two big one are Japan and China. Debt held by the public is roughly $5.3 trillion.

Now, I can go on and on, but my point is that, health care plans put put by both candidates are just words they want us to hear and vote for them. Obama is not better than McCain on the issue of money. They basically just tell us, American voters, what we like and want to here.But they have failed to mentioned what we don't want to hear. What we really needs to focus on is the money you guys.

Money is the KEY to everything that they promised us. Even though I know that our economy is still now in the down cycle, and the up cycle will come back regardless of what the 2 candidates have to say or have to plans; I still WANT to see how Obama or McCain will be able to perform what they promised with a NEGATIVE $9.8 trillion that we owe to the world.

Answer 9

Good question, hopefully people keep it clean.

To me, it is the Universal Health Care that Obama wants.  I live near County Hospital in Los Angeles. By having a blanket health care system for the nation is not possible and disastrous.  People die in waiting rooms, Doctors will no longer care to see you Mr. Jon Smith, you will just be a number to them, a number that they have to get through to say next.  Think of all the problems of HMO's.  So Dr X will say okay you can have an xray, but Radiologist Y says no, its not beneficial, so the two will takes days hashing it out if you  should have one. Here in LA, the ER's are over crowded with illegal immigrants and it has caused 2 hospitals to shut down n the past 5 years. Socialized medical care works for small countries and maybe on a state to state case but never can happen i the US, not with success.  I am not willing to sit alongside in the waiting room as #362 for my turn.  I pay extra so I can walk in and Dr. J can say Good Morning to me.

For those who say people dont have health care, there are programs out there for low income legal residents and those with disabilities.  But it takes time, persistence and paper work.  Nothing comes for free, and it shouldn't, you must meet your provider half way.

Answer 10

The direction the US is going.......Obama.

Answer 11

Sarin Palin is not AN  issue she is a liability.

she is also my issue,

War (Iraq) McCain  still thinks it is good along with the economy.

Answer 12

Energy independence - This alone with solve problems with our economy, dealings with the middle east, environmental issues.  Obama has the best plan for this.  

Answer 13

I care about lowering taxes decreasing wasteful spending and shrinking big government. Why should hardworking people foot the bill of lazy people? I know for a fact that people who don't work are happy getting federal aid and other services at the expense of others.
