The problem I have with some of these polls is that they don't break it down into those who rate the economy as number one because it's going good or those who rate the economy numbers as it is bad.

It's like gun control, they make gun control a high priority issue, but among those who rate it high are those who are for more control and those who rate it high because they are for much less control. Same for the economy, you don't know the amount of folks who think it's good and want to keep it that way or those who think it is bad and want a change.

We just know people care a lot about these issues.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
