What are 3 issues that you feel would influence your vote of a politician of any office...not just President!
Please leave issue's like the Iraq War out because these have been debated since the war began and neither side has come up with answers. Republicans don't want a time table and Democrats want a time table but won't come up with solutions.

They had the statistics on TV the other day, and low income people just don't vote. I mean if there was a law stating that incomes lower than lets say $25k cannot vote, there would be such an outcry ! Especially now a days when there are more and more low income families around. (and growing)

The US Congress years ago created their own retirement plan. This plan is not the screwed up Social Security system we peons are supposed to be getting. Their plan provides 100% of their salaries, very generous medical benefits, to name a few, upon their retirement until they die. And when they die, their spouses continue to receive these same benefits. And they contribute NOTHING to these plans financially while they are "working" in office; it is all paid for by their constituents, the lowly US taxpayer. And yet, they continue to stick the rest of us with a Social Security system that they have plundered for uses other than what it was intended for, and they refuse to do the hard work necessary to clean it up. Instead, you can bet your next paycheck that their eventual "fix" will include higher taxes, reduced benefits and and a higher age of retirement. But you also bet that they will not touch their own plan, unless they do so to fatten it up even more.

Republican-Ron Paul
Heres why: He opposed tax increases, opposed the Iraq war from the beginning, and votes against any bill that violates the constituton. He also voted against the patriot act. He is pro-life. Does not believe in gun control.


Democrat-John Edwards
Heres why: He is focused on eliminating poverty, fighting global warming and getting a universal health care. He was the first democratic candidate to release plans for universal health care including price estimates.

I know that most of who people want to be president is largly based upon their own beliefs (if that makes sense) but i think these two are the best choices (only my opinion dont jump on me)
Why are Obama and Hillary the focus of everyones attention? These are my top 2 choices for president what are yours? please give reasons why.

We Americans are squandering our hard-earned and fought for freedoms. Both the Dems and Repubs are lying and cheating us out of our freedoms and financial viability as a country. America has become involved in wars, social spending programs, etc., that have been created to enslave us. Both the Iraq and Vietnam Wars were instigated on false premises, by both Republican and Democrat Administrations. When are we as a country going to wake up and toss these charlatans out on their collective behinds and vote into office people who really care, and will uphold the Constitution?

Most neighbors in San Diego confront this problem with a guarded way of life, as it has become common place that our government is doing nothing (most times) to protect them from illegal alien invasions.

It's not like the "Politicans" we elect stand up for anything they say they do while campaigning. At least after they are elected. So why are we still electing the same ol same ol, I think new blood could & would be refreshing. Who knows maybe they would actually do some good,instead of just giving all of us an excuse to whine about the government. What do you think?

Both parties have no clue what they stand for anymore, other than staying in power. I would'nt want any of the candidates in my home, let alone in charge of the government. I'm sick of both parties & wondering why we "never" hear about the other candidates{Independents, Green Party, Ect.} How can we change this, & am I the only one that wants a change in D.C.???

Lots of people want it, the Democrats have been pushing for it since Hillary started talking about it, and it is now a hot topic for the democratic Presidential hopefuls. What I haven't heard is exactly how it's going to be paid for? How much is it going to cost?

Any ideas?

POLITICOS - Here's a question just for fun: Who is a likely choice for VP in each party? WAIT - read below before you answer....

During nomination campaigns, press and public constantly assume that nominees will choose their running mates from among the other contenders for President (hence ad nauseum speculation of a Clinton-Obama ticket).

REALITY CHECK: Aside from Kerry-Edwards in 04, it hasn't happened since 1980, when Reagan tapped G. H. W. Bush. Nearly every nominee for VP since then has been taken from OUTSIDE the ranks of those running for Prez in a given year (and don't say Gore - he ran for Prez in 88, not 92).

So STRETCH your imaginations! OUTSIDE of declared candidates (and let's include Fred Thompson in that), who do you think are likely to be on VP short lists in 2008?

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). IT IS TIME WO WAKE UP AMERICANS!!!!!!

Bush/Cheney are extremely arrogant. So is Hillary.
Bush/Cheney operate secretively and think they are above the law. So does Hillary.
Bush/Cheney are unadaptable and unable to change course when needed. Hillary is the same way.
Bush/Cheney can never admit when they're wrong. Neither can Hillary.
Fortunately for us, Bush is dumb. Cheney is a cunning, conniving power broker, and so is Hillary.
Can someone explain why we'd be better off with an administration that's basically more of the same BS we've been having? (Other than, of course, we'd get out of Iraq).

We blow about $1 TRILLION a year sending our military around the world to fight wars and wait at bases... to fight wars. We've got over 700 bases in foreign countries!

Why?

A TRILLION DOLLARS is roughly $3300 for every man, woman, child and baby in America. Which would you rather have? American soliders dying in foreign lands? Or $3300 in your pocket every year?

Commuting a small prison term and now considering a full pardon, Prez Bush has shown his contempt for the law and our justice system. I understand that the president has the power to pardon, but this power was not invented for our "leaders" to help their cronies, but rather was available as a last resort, for righting injustices.
Lie upon lie, this president is reaching Clintonesque levels of both incomptitence and falseness!
Should we:
1. Elect a democrat as a knee-jerk reaction
2. Keep dividing up on party lines hoping agaist hope for something better
3. Vote for Indepentants and Independence in '08 and make a real, worthwhile change and put the government back on the leash, where it belongs, serving US!
