To hear you talk about it, Democrats are universally united in their goal to completely change our economic system.

While it's true that the Republicans #1 concern is about the economy (79 percent - actually it's #2 to terrrorism - more below), that's only the top concern of 64 percent of Democrats. Here's the top 10 most pressing issues for both parties (link below for the source).

D's
1. Health Care Costs 77
2. Education 76
3. Environment 74
4. Medicare 73
5. Poor and Needy 71
6. Climate Change 67
7. Social Security 65
8. Economy 64
9. Race Relations 57
10. Terrorism 53

R's
1. Terrorism 83
2. Economy 79
T3. Immigration and Social Security 68
5. Military 65
6. Medicare 60
T7. Health Care costs and Reducing Crime 59
9. Education 58
10. Budget Deficit 54

The massive difference between Dems and Reps in climate change (67 vs 21 being a top priority) and the environment (74 to 31) and military (31 to 65) is why I will almost always vote Democrat over Republican. IMO, the Republicans don't care enough about the things that matter, and care too much about things that are way down on my priority list.

But keep getting it wrong, y'all. That's the type of narrow focus that hopefully will allow us to regain the White House in 2020.

Let's list the things that you think matter:

1) giving lots of **** away for free;
2) having someone else pay for it;
3) the grandeur of aiding economic 'fairness' with 1 and 2;
4) charging down the yellow brick road of 'Climate Change' regardless of any scientific basis of what the extent may or may not be; and
5) making sure that no one has a gun because *you* dont like them.

Does that sound about right to you?

The funny thing is that every one of them is *you* imposing by force of law *your* ideal of nirvana on everyone else and at *their* expense. Do you even realize that?

Let the rivers burn! Let the kids go uneducated! Let the poor die of sickness!

Tanq-world sounds really bleak. I always appreciate that Owl#'s actually has ideas about how to address concerns of the citizens of this country, regardless of whether I completely agree with each of them.
