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!

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 top priority should be the economy, but I would go one step further and say it is because of politics and the political power class that our economy is screwed up in the first place. If we want our economy to rebound, we need to get the government out of it. Government control is the number one job killer in the United States today. If we want our economy to rebound, we need to get government out of it by electing people who will roll back regulation, reform the tax code, and basically just get government off of the back of every business. Free markets will cause our economy to rebound. The status-quo will continue to get us more of what we've been getting.

Fix our broken government. The entire constitution should be re-written to reflect the realities of today. Unfortunately, that is an impossibility. Who could you possibly trust to write a fair and just system of government. It has never happened in the history of the world. Even those who swallow the b.s. that the US constitution is a great constitution should know that it is rife with inequities and was a triumph of the rich and privilged over the common citizen of North America.

@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 entire constitution should be re-written to reflect the realities of today." And if the liberals had a say you wouldn't even have a right to say that, so be grateful for the Constitution we DO have that says "freedom of speech". It's NOT the constitution that's the problem, it's how far down hill this Nation has become! We don't need to re write the constitution to "fit today's realities", did you ever stop to think that it's we the people that have become corrupt? It's we the people that need fixing?

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...

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...

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."...
