Infrastructure, jobs, rebuild middle class -- think it powers America's greatness, getting religion out of politics, keep accurate reporting t party, get control over Wall Street and big companies -- maybe get 10% pay cut for every billion in damage cased bt Wall Street and big companies, get education out of doctrine pushing and into teaching, which FYI our teachers fully capable of doing. Teach classes in accurate reporting for all reporters, all sides, and a bit of comparative religion teaching and geography wouldn't hurt. Maybe even -- gasp! -- world history. We have nothing to fear from knowledge.

Top POLITICAL priority? Most of the things listed in the poll are not political in nature. They are issues, but not necessarily issues which can be dealt with politically. The nation's top POLITICAL priority should be revising the election and political process to reduce government to manageable levels. The problem with big government is that when it is everywhere, the People start seeing it as a solution to every issue, which it cannot and should not be. If the People look to government to solve all problems, politicians will feel they have a mandate to use political processes to solve all problems. As a result, everything becomes a political issue.

How about returning to our founding (not gonna happen).. How about putting honor, character, chivalry, respect, and morals back into society (not gonna happen).. I think the bigger problem is how far we've degraded into a decadent, lascivious, debauchery filled society. The problems that we're seeing (such as the economy, the tragedies, etc) are ONLY the symptom of the actual problem, and warnings.. I think we need to get priorities straight (not gonna happen).. This nation is on a collision course with satan and we're going to hell in a hand basket, QUICKLY! May JESUS have mercy!

@NoAmnestyEVER Ya, that's part of it. But, that also has to do with the point I made.. The illegals come from cultures that are far behind ours. Look at Mexico, Africa, the middle East, etc... Ever heard the saying "you can take the boy out of the city but ya can't take the city out of the boy?".. Well it's the same thing. Then they bring their culture here and ruin ours!

The Economy must be top but as a part of that we need to seal our borders so Americans can get back to work instead of a bunch of illegals.

Hands OFF the Bill of Rights. We need to EXPAND LIBERTIES, not infringe them. The top political priority should be working TOGETHER to promote prosperity, maintenance of the infrastructure, cut waste, cronyism, pork, etc. pay down the national debt, hold school systems accountable and force them to drastically reduce their over-paid fat cats, luxury digs, etc. and invest more money on front-line teachers/students, decriminalize drugs as an important step to curbing the greatest reason for gun violence and corruption in the USA, pull back our troops from all around the world. That's money going into foreign economies, not ours, not only in rentals of foreign install...

The best thing that can be done to aid the economy is to cut the size, scope, reach, and power of the government at all levels. We would do much better if we were left alone by our government.

v Education

Education is the only way that America can escape the mythology-influenced politics that are dragging us down. The three Rs are woefully inadequate for jobs in a global economy. We need more than prep for Walmart or Burger King. We need our college-bound students to learn calculus, physics, chemistry, and biology completely devoid of creationist dogma, and we need our skilled-labor bound students to have schools where they bring back classes in auto shop, woodworking, welding, CAD, cosmetology, food service, plumbing etc. And let's not throw humanities on the trash heap. Literature, cultural anthropology, and history are also essential for anyone who wants to work outs...

"It's the economy, stupid." - James Carville. 95% this is correct. 2013 is one of those times. We need to get the economy moving again. Encourage companies to create jobs here by taxing the hell out of those that outsource. Eliminate tax breaks that corporations receive for foreign taxes paid.

I can't believe one of the choices was not cutting spending. Am I living in the twilight zone? We are 16 Trillion in debt with most of our money going to paying off the interest on that debt and we have half the nation voting for Obama? He has made it very clear he could care less about this debt yet you STILL voted for him? It is sickening! I truly believe those who voted for Obama are traitors to this nation whether they even understand what they have done. Yes the GOP are not perfect and Bush was a big spender with the help of a Democrat controlled congress. But compared to these Socialists now running our nation the GOP are a thousand times more the adults and unde...

Specifically----JOBS!....If the so-called "job creators" insist on just continuing to sit on their butts, and not hire people back to work...Then the government should step in and put people back to work, in the form of a "wps or ccc" type of program. Bring workers back to rebuild our roads, highways, bridges, streets. Renovate our airports, etc....Jobs are what is most important now.

If you are not American today, or do not have your paper work in today to become an American citizen, then don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. No more living off a system you did not pay in to, no more of your kids in our school system using up resources. How long can America keep this up, for example, 10 people paying the bill for a 1000 people creating a bill? All this liberal minded soft kitty and puppy dogs crap. There is only so much money to go around, and it sure would be nice if some of the money wasn't being wasted on illegals and their kids, while these illegals send American dollars back to their homeland. Maybe that will help the econ...

What this president didn't consider during the fiscal cliff negotiations, was our burgeoning DEBT AND SPENDING @ 16.4 TRILLION DOLLARS with an additional 4 BILLION being added each and every day -- No nation can survive this onslaught on their viability as a country and it's people. Our founders warned us of this peril. "A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and sufferingâ¦ And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."...
