What's the One Most Important Issue....

I see it as McCain being less wrong than Obama.

 

That's what I meant. :thumb:

 

This election, it's only my second one, will be the first time I vote for the "lesser of two evils", rather than a candidate I actually like.

[IM4THEHOUNDS]

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.

 

Ditto!:thumb:

[nWo]

1. Economy

2. Health Care

3. The War in Iraq

[acemona]

1. Social Justice

2. Elimination of poverty

3. Accessible quality healthcare

4. End of "War" as diplomacy

My, BGP P & R posters have a hard time following directions. Thread title has ONE most important issue. And we have people giving 3 or 4.:sssh::lol:

1. Abortion

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Supreme Court appointees that will fall to the favor of overturning Roe v Wade

Is it a coincidence or irony that you put two in your post? :lol:

It was a planned response to bring a little light humor to the thread. THus, the reason there was so many spaces before my 2nd point.:dancingpa

Would you be willing to elaborate on your top ranking?

We have created systems that are inherently unjust. There is a cycle of poverty in many areas that is perpetuated by the "invisible hand," and there are people who suffer BECAUSE of circumstances beyond their control.

 

I would love for us to live in a world where it is about "you" first and then me. I would love for us to live in a world where we are guided more by the sermon on the mount and less of the "man made" Protestant Work Ethic. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, but it should never be an excuse for us to allow suffering in this world, REGARDLESS of the reason.

I completely disagree, but that's a discussion for another thread.

The economy is always the number one issue. If the economy is going good people focus on other issues...

And that is sad that we put our wallets in front of people's lives, both born and unborn. I think this speaks greatly on why we are not as great of a country as we think we are.

 

The best country on the planet, no doubt, but not as great as we think we are.

Abortion, to me it is like Pharoh commanding all males to be tossed into the Nile.

Thanks to GWB, we are pretty much assured anything but stalemate over the next eight years, or longer. In addition to gaining the Oval Office, Democrats will make more gains in Congress as well.

 

The GOP ,whose reputation has been damaged by the Bush administration, is experiencing significant defections. Only 36% of Americans now say they are Republicans, compared to 55% who say they are Democrats.
