Poll question: What should be the Dems biggest issue to stand behind in '08?
It's obvious that we need to be viewed as a party that really stands for something in order to be taken seriously in '08 by the American people. What issue do you think it should be? Feel free to name one if I left it out.

Personally, I think we should really stand behind improving our economy, jobs, and the rights/benefits/conditions of workers in this country.

There are other important issues out there I know, but the middle class in America is rapidly being destroyed, and less and less people are realizing the American dream.

1. I voted for Moral Values - the real moral values
Not the ones the neo-cons claim to be selling.

I think the Democrats need to address all the above but we need to expose the repukes for the false values they have been claiming for the last 5 years.
We need to make sure the voters see the hypocrisy in the rhetoric and the actions of their representatives and president.

It's the ECONOMY

7. My issues:
(1) Withdrawal from Iraq.
(2) Investigations. Dems need to start on a fresh foundation so they need to investigate the corruption that the Republicans have been a part of in the last ten years. You can't build a new nation on a foundation which is rotten to the core.
(3) Jobs. America needs to be more than a service driven nation. What can we build again and be number one in the world at delivering?
