I think I consider protection as very high on my list of things I want my president to get done. What do you think is the issue that will influence your vote the most?

That's a good question. National security is high on my list. Being true to the Constitution is the highest priority for me however, because if we get back to that, it will make everything better. What I don't want is excuses, promises, or "hey, vote for me, at least I'm not as bad as the other guy." I don't want to listen to mudslinging either. I want real change.

I think America deserves change at this point. There are too many things left vulnerable. Good point! No bull, no excuses.

To me, it's gotten to the point where we can hardly tell one party from the other for all the bull, corruption, and party over country nonsense. Our Constitution is what makes us great, but we have to honor it. Thanks.

national Security and reducing the size of the government. Right now 51% of the people in the US are either working for the government or receiving benifits from the govenment. That means that the majority is invested in mataining the status quo.

Certainly a matter of concern. I can admit Bush has a good idea to give immigrants the chance to be employed in America so long as they cannot receive benefits. Overloading the system has drained the resources of Atlanta where there are high populations of immigrants who receive state benefits. Good point.

Corruption - Corruption happens almost everywhere but people can't do anything about it. Hopefully there will come a time that the government officials, especially the president can fight the corruption in our country.
Well presidential election in our country will be happening on 2010. Definitely I want a president that is very charismatic so people will listen to him/her. I want my president to be strong and motivated. But what will influence me is that if the president has the ability to fight corruption in our country. If he has what it takes to put corruption to extinction then I will definitely vote for him.

I wish there was a such thing capable of destroying all political corruption. Then we'd have a much better chance at getting things done the right way.

well there are more issues than i can't count for this topic. but the two most important to me are interrelated. the first is how long does the president elect forsee our future in iraq? the second is arethey seriously looking into fuel alternatives. cause lets face it the reason, arguably, that we're in iraq is that we nee their oil to run our vehicles. if we could come up with something else than our position in iraq would be greatly lessend.

I agree whole-heartedly. Fuel alternatives are seemingly being considered as a solution to the oil crisis, but in the end, can we really be oil independent? Plastics are one major by-product of oil so I guess we need Iraq for their oil supply even for things other than gasoline.
