I guess i'm asking because i've always said that there are more important things to worry about (as it pertains to pres. candidates) than how they feel about gay marriage and abortion and I just wanna know if anyone agrees or disagrees with me.

Good for you that you are not a sheep falling prey to the "wedge issues". It should not be important at all. They are brought up often because they do nothing but try to rally the base.
No one should accept what goes on in a bedroom or a woman's right to choose as more important than the world economy, military conflicts, worldwide environmental problems, and genocidal famine and disease. I consider any candidate that brings up wedge issues nothing but a weak coward not willing to confront the real problems we should be facing. A president without a sense of priority is a president doomed for failure.

No, because the Supreme Court will ultimately decide any issues on this! President Bush has already set-up the Supreme Court the way he wants it. The way he has set it up the rulings will stay the same long after he departs!
I'm more concerned about The Patriot Act and NAFTA!!!!
I understand that gay marriage and abortion are issues, but lets don't let those two or health care be the main issue of this election.
That's what the candidates in both parties want!
They don't want to talk about the two biggest issues. I think the war in Iraq is the third largest issue!
If you make a list of all the issues, then prioritize them by which ones will have the most lasting negative effects, you will see what I mean!
Thanks!

i think of the main intense high quality of a presidential candidate is they have a stable innovations and a feeling of justice. a stable innovations maximum intense to understand each and all the themes which crop up and a stable wisdom of cultures of alternative worldwide places is very important too - like somebody with a international View no longer in straightforward terms their very own u . s .'s view. i do no longer think of faith concerns as long as he/she is a questioning man or woman. Public expectancies like gay marriage, abortion etc. nicely this is often evolving and a President optimistically is likewise Open-minded approximately all themes. i might ought to declare re faith that i'm Agnostic at this degree and strongly have faith in evolution of each and every thing on the earth and if there's a God then he set each and every thing in action in an evolutionary way.

gay marriage and abortion!!

somewhat...if a candidate promised to push for states rights to decide these issues and took the federal government out of the equation I'd certainly take that into consideration

Not at all. They shouldn't even be issues in any civilized technically advanced nation on earth. These are private matters best decided by free men and women living in a true democracy.
America isn't freakin' Iran!!!

Yes it is so important to me because it can cause my world to be different if I don't try to make a difference. Abortion is such an evil thing that I don't know how doctors can do this for a living. I am glad my family was good Christians and decided to keep me. (Smile, your mother chose life!). And gay marriages are bad to because it states in the bible that god made eve for Adam and if he wanted Adam to be 'born gay' >:( then he would have created a man not a woman! This is my opinion and I hope it hasn't offended anyone.

I like that Ron Paul generally says all these sorts of things should be left to the states, and not be federal issues at all. That's my reading of the Constitution, too.

They are issues...they are important to many...what you think of as an important issue may not be important to me. Any person is free to vote for any candidate for any reason....that is the system.

Those should be issues decided by the States.
