Do you think national issues still dominate political debate? Is that changing and if so, why?

Answer 1

I think that as the world becomes more international, with fewer borders, debate will favor international issues instead of national issues. First and foremost, immigration will be the bridging subject by which this shift will be based.

Answer 2

Yes they still dominate political debate. Unless something like the disaster of Iraq is happening. They'll still continue to bombard us with gay marriage, guns, abortion, flag-burning. In 2004 there were like 10 states that had gay marriage on the ballot at the same time as the presidential nominees. They do this purposely to sway your vote because you'll see the gay marriage issue and it will roll your mind to the two candidates. It's a big game to them, the issues don't really matter just your vote. And even those are stolen by both sides.

Answer 3

National issues are the menu of politicians to attack each other in debates. They usually delve on sensitive issues together attention of the public.

Answer 4

Tax paying citizens are ticked about illegal immigration and how people get labeled as racist if they don't want people breaking the law to get into our country unchecked by any security or for infectious disease.

The tax burden falls on the average citizen while the financial windfall goes to those looking for cheap labor "off the books". All the while the corporation and the politicians scratch each others backs all the way to the banks while honest people get the shaft regardless of which party you get.

Liberals are the worst offenders, but even the republicans are selling us out.

Please check the crime statistics, the health care cost burden to tax paying citizens, and the tax cost of future subsidies and social programs for illegals.

Answer 5

Hopefully it will be immigration.
