I think it has stayed pretty civilized.

And to everyone that says your vote does not count. Your wrong, it does count, and I advise everyone to look at the issues that effect you carefully.

What issues effect you, where do both candidate stand on the issue

College tuition
Something must be done we are burdening our Families to extremes. People either pull from 401K to pay for kids college, or kids end up paying back loans till their 40.


Social Security
We must keep SS alive. So many seniors are living off social security, and with the price of gas, food, and everything else they are deciding between food or medication or heat.

Healthcare
I believe in Universal Healthcare for all Americans. I personally had a great plan, last year. This year its the same company, but now I pay $250 more a month and have deductibles and less coverage. There is so many people who can only afford to keep health insurance and only go to the doctors when they absolutely have to because they can not afford the copays and deductibles. Whatever your take on healthcare, where do the candidates stand?

Tax Breaks for Oil companies?

Gas Prices
I would love to be off the supply of foreign oil in 10 years. Could it happen? It seems unlikely to me, however if you declared in 1961, that we were going to the moon in 10 years, I would have laughed in your face

Eagle landed on the surface of the moon at 20:17 UTC on July 20 1969 with about 25 seconds of fuel left.

It only took 8 years

America is a awesome country, there is nothing we cannot accomplish when we put our minds to it. America has been beat down for the last few years, and needs some serious direction.

We are all responsible to actually vote on issues, not for donkeys or elephants, but for people who will be the best representative for the issues you care about deeply.


Don't vote on party lines, look at the issues that effect you, and vote for the team that has the solutions you need.
