What about the issues

I read pages, and pages, of he said she said BUT every little about issues. Why is this?? Are the issues not important or have we become puppets in this presidential election?? I would like to think that we, as adults, are mature enough to focus on this issues for a change. So, with that said, what is the biggest ISSUE that concerns you in this election??

"economy - Obama will increase taxes, or maybe keep them the same, depends on which version of his "tax plan" you listen to, 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 and increase deficits. Neither is good for the economy."

***This is true only if you pay more than $600,000 a year in taxes. Here is my source:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/06/09/ST2008060900950.html

If, like sixty percent of the country, you make less than a tenth of that, Obama's tax proposal will save you a substantial amount over McCain's -- anywhere from three to six times as much.

"war - Obama will, depending on while version of Obama you listen to, either cut and run, or stay"

mom, the underlying fact remains that people will pay taxes on amounts they will receive no benefits on.

Not exactly. You forgot a few words:

Yeah, those concerned about the growing inequality between the income gaps and the present conditions for the middle class (wages and cost of living) but who don't fully understand their causes, and priority on safety nets for us all.

Hi Irishhands,


Third, the war in Iraq. Our military was poorly trained at the start of the Iraq war, and I think they are still not being trained to fight this particular war. It's like the English wearing bright red uniforms and marching in formation to take over the colonies when the colonists weren't playing by the same rules. We just aren't playing by the right rules to win. They do hate us. The ones that don't get refugee status in the U.S.A. Is it possible to only offer that if they agree to take diplomacy training and return for X amount of time to help their own country come out of the war? Is anyone offering that? Otherwise, no, we cannot leave, and we cannot fight, and we're kind of stuck until there is a better idea.


I vehemently disagree with you, that our

You can repeat this over and over again but it does not make it fact.
