    When you goto the Polls. . . and you look at the Candidate

    what Issue . . .is the one that holds the most weight
    [NOT ALL THE WEIGHT but most]


    I mean . . .
    Abortion Rights?
    Equal Rights?
    Gun Rights?
    Drug Policy?
    p*rn Stance
    Crime Stance
    International Relations
    Economy

    If you saw a Candidate that was oppose to your view on THIS ONE ISSUE . . . and you agree everywhere else.. . . . what is that issue . .that would still make you pause on whether to vote for the candidate or not

    depends also on the office they're running for. i would imagine bill white and i might stand in stark contrast on abortion issues...but who cares since he's merely the Mayor of Houston? don't think he'll be appointing any supreme court justices anytime soon.

    1. Tax Policy
    2. Energy Policy (although it doesn't matter much if the liberals continue to threaten a filibuster in the Senate. Thanks libs for those high gas prices)
    3. National Security
    4. Foreign Policy

    LOL! You should thank your pResident's friends in Saudi Arabia!

    Waiting for T_J to blame liberals for the Astros' losing streak, Tropical Storm Alison, the fact that T_J can't get laid to save his life, and anything else he can think of!

    If you don't mind me asking

    Why Energy Policy?

    I understand the others
    I think I have an Idea of your politics on it
    but Energy Policy stands out

    Taxes - that is in you pockets
    National Security - protects us
    Foreign Policy - Protects us .. .

    so I understand those

    I would not have expected Energy to rank higher than National
    Security for you.

    I'm just curious

    RocketRiver, I believe energy policy is the second most critical economic policy, behind tax policy. Energy and energy prices affect every single aspect of the economy. I am pro-economy and believe that an effective energy bill can go along way towards mitigating energy price inflation, thereby reducing expenses and increasing profits.

    Realistically, what more from a legislative perspective can be done to improve Civil Rights? Seriously.

    Foriegn Policy

    Economic Policy

    However, in this election, as in almost all others, I will be voting for the lesser (much lesser) of two evils.

    really, cuz I am anti-economy! ;)




    I don't mean to start a fight with you in this thread, so dont take it that way, but what the heck does being "pro-economy" entail?

    Images put out by the media, what responsibility is there to keep these things away from kids, do we promote a lifestyle that is in to "exploring your sexuality" or one where we respect women as people and not objects to be lusted after; These would be the things I would put under the general title "p*rn stance"
