Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy

A number of folks have been submitting topics that indicate that they want to have a serious discussion on the issues surrounding this election. Since we're under a week now, I've decided to run a series of discussion stories to give you guys a place to discuss the issue. So here's the first one: The Economy. It's the biggest topic these days, eclipsing even war as the most important issue to most Americans. But how will that affect your choice next week? And why?

Re:any evidence

When the actual returns came, the left was shocked. They will be again.

waitaminnit? there's a left-wing candidate?

maybe we all should take a look at the political compass' left/right analysis of the candidates before we start throwing around phrases like "left wing".

bottom line: the american election is a contest between two versions of right-wing politics.

Equality of opportunity

Does not mean equality.

Providing equality of opportunity is what the government is there for.

I guess you didn't have to learn the Preamble to the Constitution in school. Don't worry, I've found most liberals have no idea about why our country was founded.
