Poll question: What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?

[valerief]

1. Hey, you forgot voter fraud. You can't get the other stuff fixed

unless your votes can get your candidate into office.

[TheFarseer]

4. it's not voter fraud

the voters aren't doing anything wrong. It's election fraud.

[valerief]

5. Good point. Thanks. Hey, you forgot election fraud! n/t

11. electronic voting fraud trumps everything by far. The fact that this poll

can be put up without even putting the electronic voting machine into the mix is an indication of why the next election will in all likelihood be just like the previous one.

I can only echo valerief: unless you fix the vote counting, what difference does it make what madman is currently in the WH? There's always another one waiting in the wings. If Bush ran again right now, forget the 35% approval rating, he'd win by between 5% and 10% and everybody would blame the amazing turnout of the religious fundamentalists. It's amazing how numerous these folks have become now the voting machines determine our leaders. Forget the demographics. Forget everything that makes any sense, but for God's sake don't look at the voting machines.

It's the biggest political con game and scam in American history, maybe in world history and it's going on right under our collective noses.

2. Madman, hands down. All the other things might be fixed

if he wasn't in this equation.

[Montagnard]

3. You forgot the entire Republican party

they are responsible

[stellanoir]

6. election fraud and the whole cabal of neocons

IMHO

[TheFarseer]

7. our economy being sold piece by piece to the lowest bidder?

You bet that's our main problem. When everyone works at Walmart or McDonalds in this country, there won't be much of a country left, will there? Stop reverse-mercantilism NOW.

8. Probably should have put the Skull & Bones cult running this country into

the ground for thier greed and evil plans of world domination,AKA New World Order!

[BOSSHOG]

9. Religious Zealots who have no concept of constitutional liberty

who want to replace our constitution with the bible is my number one problem. The others are very troubling indeed and while we attempt to deal with them, the zealots in our country are working to undermine the basis of our freedoms. And we can give them an incredible amount of credit for putting the likes of bush and his criminal team in office. If they don't want all Americans to have constitutional liberties, which they dont, then THEY can leave and form a theocracy elsewhere.

10. I'd add e-vote fraud, Global Heating, corporate media consolidation

and with out those I'll pass on voting.

[havocmom]

12. Corporate take over of the government is the most important issue.

THAT is the root of the other problems. We no longer have a government OF, FOR, AND BY THE PEOPLE! All is done for the benefit of huge corporations and at the cost to the people.

[patrice]

13. Climate Change.

[gollygee]

14. An easily manipulated electorate

which leads to some of the other problems and is caused largely by the corporate nature of the "free press".

[tabasco]

15. Stop the killing first. Stop the war.

Then punish the criminals who started it.

[underpants]

16. This pretty much covers it

[saltpoint]

17. Just about all of the above plus a failure to encourage critical thinking.

Even an itsy bitsy bit of critical thinking would go a long way.

[1932]

18. Polarizing wealth and power.

[rock]

19. Actually, it's getting the politicians to obey the law

Particularly with reguards to oversight of other politicians.
