Topic: Question copied from Yahoo............

What is the NUMBER 1 issue , in this election, that YOU are concerned about ?

The war. The economy might not be in such a mess if we weren't spending trillions of $$$ over there. And for what?

The Supreme Court. The next president will get to appoint probably 2, maybe 3 Justices. Enough said!

I'm going to tag on here and say I agree with your choices 100%. A lot of folks talk about the economy these days instead of the war - but what they fail to get is that the war is why the economy is in such a precraious situation. Face it folks! We are in a wartime economy. We must now deal with the way the Bush Admin financed the war - by getting loans from foriegn countries. They did not ask citizens to buy War bonds like they did during WWII. The bill is going to come due. The whole sub-prime mortgage crisis and falling dollar are directly related to the war. And since oil is bought with dollars on the world market, oil is going to continue to rise as the dollar falls. Until we stop the bleeding of money for the war, there's no way out. And your comment about the Supreme Court is right on. Bush's #1 legacy is going is going to be his Supreme Court picks. Those two guys Roberts and Alito are quite young. They could be there for decades. Some of the modertates/liberals may not be there much longer. Some balance will need to be restored. - JT

The war! Beyond all the lives that are lost and ruined by this idiocy, we are spending $5,000 per second (yes per SECOND) on the war.

As long as we continue to throw money down that neo-con rat hole, all of our other problems, economy, taxes, healthcare, enviromental disasters, cost of education, hell.....rice rationing, etc, will continue to grow without end.

I think the war and taxes. Because to me they are the cause of the economy and gas prices. We need to repeal Bush's tax cuts to the rich. And we need to close loopholes for companies that moved off shore. (Like Halliburten)
