National security (This includes border security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as continued funding for advanced weapons systems and intelligence capability.) 3. Supreme Court appointments (These could have a significant impact on the first two items.) :thumb:Throw health care in with the Economy and this would be my list.
June 24, 200818 yr I understand your vested interest. Wouldn't the policy on Iraq be a big decision maker in whom you vote for? Nope. National interest takes precedence over personal interest.
June 24, 200818 yr 1. Economy (In particular how much money is coming out of my paycheck and pocket, and where is it going) 2. Healthcare 3. National Security Supreme Court Appointments matter a ton because it could potentially encompass all three of these.
June 24, 200818 yr No, but Math did. Even so, Iraq is still (IMO) not the most important issue to the survival of the United States. True.
June 24, 200818 yr 1. National Security/The war on terrorism 2. The economy 3. The direction of the Supreme Court Supreme Court nominees are a HUGE deal to me because the next president may well nominate 2 jurists. Agree.
June 24, 200818 yr No, but Math did. Even so, Iraq is still (IMO) not the most important issue to the survival of the United States. I'll have to think about this one. Given the potential impact on the control of oil, Iran with nuclear capabilities and the war on terrorism this may be the most important issue to the survival of the US.

Supreme Court appointments (These could have a significant impact on the first two items.) I had to wake up from passing out before I could post. Aces and I agree with each other. If these three are your top issues, does that mean that you will be joining me in proudly supporting Barak Obama?

Just because you agree on the issues doens't mean you agree on how they should be handled.

If these three are your top issues, does that mean that you will be joining me in proudly supporting Barak Obama? He responded first, so I guess that means you should be joining him in his support of John McCain...
June 25, 200818 yr He responded first, so I guess that means you should be joining him in his support of John McCain... If those are your issues, why vote for McCain? He is wrong on all three.
June 25, 200818 yr Author If those are your issues, why vote for McCain? He is wrong on all three. Because I happen to believe he's more right than Obama on them...
June 25, 200818 yr Because I happen to believe he's more right than Obama on them... I see it as McCain being less wrong than Obama.
