June 25, 200818 yr Author 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.
June 25, 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. Ditto!:thumb:

June 26, 200818 yr 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

June 27, 200818 yr 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.

June 27, 200818 yr The economy is always the number one issue. If the economy is going good people focus on other issues...
June 30, 200818 yr 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.
June 30, 200818 yr Abortion, to me it is like Pharoh commanding all males to be tossed into the Nile.
June 30, 200818 yr 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.
