that is a nice roundup, foxfyre.
i think that many of the topics are interrelated to the first and foremost. they have to do with how the economy and job creation are approached, and what solutions for immediate and long-term concerns that exist within our economy.
from the national perspective, don't trade agreements impact the domestic job market? with healthcare as one of the biggest and fastest growing sectors in the country, isn't that an economic concern?
Jobs and the economy should be the top priority, because without economic growth, in light of our debts and increasing expenditures, this will lead to further economic deterioration. The problem seems to be a lack of understanding on the part of this administration and congress on just how job and economic growth happens.
No, not at all. Indicting the American electorate as 'dim-witted' isn't the conclusion you should jump to.Find the candidate who can run and win with that philosophy and you'll find yourself the the 1st congressional district of Oz!I dont think it will change washington very much. Just a slower roll down the hill.
We need new blood that dont subscribe to the republican/democrat doctrines.
So you agree that the majority of americans are too dim-witted to realize the 2 party system is a sham to keep us divided while they garner more and more power for the government at the expense of our individual liberty?

My theory is that when government creates uncertainty, Huge Spending increases for nebulous reasons (We "NEED" healthcare, We "NEED" a stimulous package, We "NEED" to be in Iraq, We "NEED" a new high tech fighter...)....without any clear plan to pay for it, individuals and businesses become paranoid, waiting for the other shoe to drop, Higher Taxes.
Unless Government can say: We won't change the current tax law for the next 7 years, and we will DRAMATICALLY decrease spending during the same time, what was initially paranoia becomes justifiable habit.

The two major political parties are, for lack of a better term, professionals. They organize and campaign with well oiled machines. Americans aren't dim-witted. They're hog tied by professional politicos.
Other, Interesting the the Issue that is in the top 3 in every single poll in America is not even on your list.
Deficits and Debt.

Thanks for clarifying and good post

Well, I don't know how aligned we are poltically Antagon as I haven't had a lot of discussions with you.
But I'm definitely a minimalist when it comes to the Federal government. I want it to secure and defend our rights with just enough laws and regulation to do that and then get the hell out of our way. I can't think of any government meddling that has worked out to our advantage long term, so I would really like for our fearless leaders to limit their priorities to those specified in the Constitution.
Everyone who wants to run should be able to run and on the ballot.They don't include 3rd party candicates unless they acquire a certain percentage of votes in the primaries. And I suppose that is practical as there are so many 3rd party candidates the debates would be pretty thin if all participated.
Not that they aren't anyway.
Actually it would be pretty interesting wouldn't it. To have ALL presidential candidates who will be on the ballot participate?
But of course the front runners negotiate with the networks to do the debates, structure it as much as possible to their personal advantage, and refuse to participate if they don't pretty much get their way. And they will shut out all competition as much as possible.

They are.
But, they are excluded from nationally televised debates.
They have to be showing at least 15% support in national polls.
