I think that politicians should start considering Chuck Norris as the main defence for this country in times of need due to his extreme awesomeness. (;

Side: Chuck Norris

I think that politicians should start looking into ways to bail out Joe Cavalry financially with some sort of stimulus package and economic incentives.

China. I feel that we should stop focussing so much on the issues in the middle east and focus our sites on how to stop the country of far-east asian (China) from invading the US or any other country in North America looking for more land to hold their citizens on so that they can expand the cheap labor force and sell more cheaply made toys at low prices and still make a huge profit. Seriously man! Those Chinese are up to something big! (;

There is a flaw in your logic: If the Chinese took over the US and made us work making those cheap toys, who would buy them?

The Japanese, the Mexicans, the Cubans, the Canadians, pretty much anywhere in Europe, developing countries in Africa. Lots of places really. (;

Well, I noticed during the election that the issue of illegal immigration was rarely discussed.

Business. It is talked about sometimes, but the real driving force of any country is the economy. If businesses are not accommodated in the US, or any country, they will simply leave. Today, it is almost as easy to do business from Hong Kong or Delhi as it is to do business from Chicago or London. Governments need to be aware of what business needs today, and do as much as they can to accommodate it. I think politicians are aware of these problems, but there is no easy way to keep business here, and there are many issues they want to talk about that they have their solutions for, making them seem smarter and more persuasive.

According to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in 1998 something changed the Earth's gravitational field which moved the magnetic poles closer together. The NASA article explained that as the ice on the poles melted, ocean currents moved water toward the equator, which factors researchers believe to be partly responsible, in conjunction with shifts in atmospheric patterns, for this ongoing shift in the Earth's magnetic field.

This shift in the Earth's magnetic field is causing Global Warming (G.W.). We need to talk more about this instead of talking about how humans are responsible for G.W. and how to combat it. We are focusing on the wrong cause of G.W. We need to focus on the real cause of G.W. and address that issue.

starting in 1965 politicians took money out of the social security fund and put it in the general fund and spent our money. These politicians should be put in prison! There is only one cure for the social security system. Put your politician on the same program. We do not live in two different dountries. And no politician should be allowed to give himself a pay raise. Americans are being robbed and they keep re-electing these corrupt politicians back in office. And the corruption grows.

The price of gas does not go up every week the day before payday. The only time gas prices should change is when that tank in the ground is filled. Either our politicians are real stupid and cannot figure this out or they are bought and paid for by big oil companies.

We do not need affordable health insurance. We need affordable health care. My friend in Canada does not have to worry about losing everything due to a medical complication. If he goes to the hospital, it is paid for out of his taxes. Instead of giving your money to an insurance company, put that money into a national health care program. In Japan all medical procedures have a set price. In the U.S. you can pay $15 hundred to $15 thousand for the same operation. The free market system is why we have millions who cannot afford insurance.

I think finding cures for all diseases is being pushed under the rug and this issue should be a major platform for a politician, especially a Presidential Nominee.
