About damn time the top issue is something other than more corruption in Washington or more deaths in Iraq.
A new Gallup Poll released Tuesday reveals that the issue cited by most Americans as the one they worry about the most is "the availability and affordability of healthcare."
A total of 68% said they worried about this a "great deal." Coming in second is the social security system at 51%. Following close behind that were "availability and affordability of energy," drug use, crime and violence--and only then "the possibility of terrorist attacks in the U.S." (at 45%).
in a sign of the times, Americans grew more worried in the past year, Gallup said, in 11 of the 12 top issues. Health care, energy and immigration had grown the most in concern since 2005. Democrats were more worried pretty much across the board.
"The two most partisan issues are the economy and illegal immigration," Gallup reported. "The economy is relatively much more important to Democrats than to Republicans, while illegal immigration is relatively much more important to Republicans than Democrats." Many more Democrats are also concerned about health care. This suggests how each party will attempt to mobilize its base in 2006 campaigns.
Yeah, that figures because SCREW ALL OF THE IMPORTANT ISSUES 'CAUSE HEAVEN FORBID IF MORE OF THEM DAMN MEXICANS COME INTO THIS COUNTRY!!!*
Dearest morons, how did your ancestors get to this country? Got an answer? And I'm willing to bet that some of them skipped registering at Ellis Island...am I right?
*This is not the view of this article's author; it's merely a half-assed parody of the Republican/Democrat thought process when dealing with the hated immigration issue.
