What's the number one issue that you are most worried about? For me it's the economy, everything else thats going on all seems to intersect with the economy.

Mine is the pretense of terrorism being used to quickly strip us of our liberties, and consitutional rights. Unfortunately there is not a candidate listed who is going to rectify that. It is a sorry, sorry election year

It is a sorry, sorry election year I feel you there! I think we will be doubly screwed with that if the dollar completely fails, which it seems to be headed for.

They are strict constitutionalists, and they are deemed as fringe, and "un-american"

The economy.(starts with extending and or increasing the Bush tax cuts) The dollars strength is being hamstrung by the environmentalist lobbyists. Wouldn't it be neat if we could drill for oil right here in our own country? Think of the job creation. How about increasing our ability to refine oil? That'd be great huh? We have the technology to do it cleanly. Think of what it would do to the price of energy. Just having the rest of the world knowing that we are actually tapping into our vast natural resources would create price drops. On the energy front Coal is now burned much more cleanly and I have heard that extracting liquid fuel from coal that is even more clean burning is right around the corner. Lets incentivise this type of research with a few tax credits eh? Our borders need to by sealed.Period. Amnesty for the 12mil+ illegals? I don't think so..deportation is preferable. I'm willing to pay more for my lettuce if an American picks it. If we curb the infestation of illegal immigrants we also reduce our health care costs, educational cost,law enforcement and prison costs. Sounds great doesn't it? We need to set and achieve some serious goals in Iraq. The Iraqi government needs to understand fully that we are not there to keep them from having to protect themselves indefinitely. They need to step up and take the lions share of responsibility for their future. Nuke Iran. Just kidding about that last one. Well, maybe just a few MOABs on their nuke facilities.

WTF is up with that?

First the lack of unite among the parties, and the governments insisting that Americans are ignorant when it comes all aspects factual based results of their over spending.

Thanks but I couldn't run. I'd never pass the drug test. Don't have a college degree. Plus i'm still in my early late thirties. Too young to run for president!

I don't get the fearmongering over Iran. Didn't we stand down the Soviets?

I don't get the fearmongering over Iran. Didn't we stand down the Soviets? Well personally I fear the middle eastern threat far more than I ever did the soviets. Their mind set allows them to less about self preservation, and more about making a statement, any statement, that they can.
