What is your big issue?

[XemaSab]

Poll question: What is your big issue?

What's the one issue that's most important to you in this election? :shrug:

[ananda]

1. How about..

ALL OF THE ABOVE.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

2. I can't pick just one.

I tried, but there are 3-4 that are of equal importance to me.

[BearSquirrel2]

3. By Economy I mean ...

By economy I mean that we have to return to unilateral trade deals in order to force "fair trade" agreements.

[jakem]

4. Honesty.

[XemaSab]

9. Good call...

:)

[AlCzervik]

5. all of them but for selfish reasons Iraq is at the top of my list.

i have a nephew that left for his 3rd tour and a family friend who is all of 19 is already there.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. national security and economy are even nt

.

[iamthebandfanman]

7. i think government reform would solve alot of the other choices n/t

[ihavenobias]

36. Exactly

Publicly funded elections, standardized paper ballots and tough conflict of interest laws in Congress (regarding lobbyists, even longer waiting periods before taking jobs in the private sector, etc.) would fix SO MANY of the problems we face.

These things would fundamentally improve the quality of our democracy in my opinion, moreso than any particular candidate ever could. And for that matter, it would increase the quality of all future presidential/congressional candidates.

[fenriswolf]

8. well if you think about how it is phrased

if we change education and properly educate the majority of the masses then maybe we can get everything else fixed? although that would take a generation or so.

[WA98296]

10. Campaign Finance Reform, Clean Voting, Media Bias - PLUS All of the Above

[Blackdog4241]

11. Accountabillity !!!!!

The crooks in our government need to be removed or nothing will ever change.

[babydollhead]

25. agreed!

I hung a sign on my door, "Accountability...R.I.P." right after the 2004 election.

[leftofthedial]

12. some of the above

The Class War

[NYdemocrat089]

13. Health care, but global warning and the economy are up there.

I think it is sick that the richest country in the world does not guarantee health care for all of its citizens.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. Common decency. Which covers most of the issues listed.

And, I'll vote for the candidate who exhibits the most of it. Even if I have to write one in.

[Tektonik]

15. civil liberties is generally the most important for me, but this time

healthcare is numero uno and Iraq is not far behind

[grasswire]

16. by civil liberties do you mean...

..restoration of the Constitution?

[XemaSab]

20. It means what you want it to mean

:shrug:

[Forkboy]

17. Lava lamps and beanbag chairs in UN building.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. Healthcare, but .......

...... they're all important.

[Hoof Hearted]

19. Healthcare. In the biggest ALL CAPS font, with the banner running and in red too.

HEALTH CARE !

I don't really know how to do the banner thingy, but you get the idea.

[Junkdrawer]

21. Imperialism/Globalism....n/t

[blondeatlast]

22. Foreign Policy/Healthcare equally, followed closely by the economy.

I have to abstain on this one.

[NC_Nurse]

23. Hard to choose, but I decided on government reform.

If we don't get the corporate interests/lobbies out of government, we can't expect real change in any of these areas.

[LWolf]

24. All of the above.

They all go together to achieve my goals. :shrug:

[kitty44]

26. Can't rest until GITMO is dismantled

Holding people without trial? That could be you and me in 10 years....

[Breeze54]

27. I chose Iraq (and it is big) but

I also think e-voting and the MSM are huge issue's which leads to 'education'.

[bridgit]

28. I'm not able to participate here, each one of these issues literally bleeds into the next...

imo, of course

[XemaSab]

32. word

n/t

[WinkyDink]

29. The Constitution. Habeas Corpus. Sixth Amendment.

[CountAllVotes]

30. all that you list are irrelevant

nothing will ever change until we get the HELL OUT OF IRAQ! It is sucking this country dry economically. So to hell with education, healthcare, etc. until WE GET THE HELL OUT OF IRAQ!!!

U.S OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST!!!

Bring our troops home NOW!!!!

:kick:

[ZinZen]

31. Too many too list since Bushco has left our country

in shambles. The economy, healthcare and getting out of Iraq are huge for me.

[Naturyl]

33. My vote, number 101, was the very first vote for poverty

Wow... I find that really, really unsettling.

[Stardust]

38. My choice, too, and it is indeed disturbing.

[Raine]

34. Environment

none of the others matter if we can't breath.

[UndertheOcean]

35. The war , then healthcare

[Fearless]

37. All of the above...

How could I decide which is more important when they are all connected? If I had to choose one, I'd say corruption, but that's batshit, we'll never get rid of that. So, I'll vote for the person that will deliver all of the above.

[Two Americas]

39. all the same issue

The Republicans know where the battle lines are drawn, and never lose sight of them and never waver from their purpose.

Anything and everything that aids the every day person is to be crippled or destroyed. Anything and everything that helps the privileged few is to be promoted and strengthened. That is their program. I defy anyone to find a significant exception.

Once we have the same clarity as to the nature of the battle and the same determination to fight that battle as our adversaries do, the threat from the right wing will be over very quickly. So long as we haggle amongst ourselves over these issues, and what is "more important to us" they will continue to roll over us.

We are talking about millions of people being steadily ground down, sinking into fear and desperation, insecurity and want. We are talking about millions without health care, on the street, going hungry, without meaningful work, without hope.

This is a life and death struggle we are in, not a matter of personal preferences and feelings about "my positions" on the "issues" that are "most important to me."

It is not about me at all, or any of us as individuals.

[Didereaux]

40. ALL of the above,,,they are all interconnecting.
