14. WRONG it's not the fundies, they have NO control over their party.
Trust me...I am no fan of fundies but they have little power compared to the corporate fascist warhawks (AKA neocons).

2. I said Bush...
IF it weren't for * we wouldnt have the war in Iraq, the huge deficit associated with it, a miserable response to the hurricane, a dismal economy that is "spurred" by tax cuts...and the RW freakoids would have crawled back to their caves by now.

3. Impeachment!
You didn't list it, but that's *the* most important issue right now.

We've got to dump BFEE and company.

4. All of it depends on the fungus at the roots -- fascist reichbots.
It's the body politic that's infested with a cancer. All the rest is an outgrowth of that. In a healthy political society, Smirk wouldn't be elected dog catcher.

6. I will add
election reform. If we aren't sure our votes count, no one can rule with any legitimacy.

20. But they ARE conserving...
an OLD FASHIONED version of the world where old white men rule and minorities, gays, and women "are in their place".

When "values" ment everyone behaved and did as they were "supposed" to.

9. The War in Iraq and the future of our foreign policy!
Hello? This is why GWB sucks...it's because of the neocons (AKA death squad).

They make this country and the world a more dangerous place.

13. the most important issue facing this nation
is the rise of magical thinking. If facts and science are not respected, then the people in power can convince the masses of any reality. As the RATM song goes, "Those who control the present, control the past. Those who control the past, control the future."

15. hard not to say "all of the above" but I honestly believe...
...that the war against Iraq has done more damage than all the others combined: killed MANY more people than Katrina, devastated an entire country, responsible for severe economic strain, utterly destroyed America's international reputation (which admittedly wasn't great anyway), and so on. The lies to create support for the war have undermined both the office of the president, confidence in congressional leaders, and the integrity of the intel community. And on and on. The war.

Solve that, and we stand a chance of solving all the other problems.
