(62,325 posts)war profiteers, like Defense contractors, eg, that we are told we don't have money for food stamps, or school lunches, both of which have been cut.
I focus on Civil Liberties issues also, because without our freedom as guaranteed in the US Constitution, the future for our children is going to be as grim as it is any nation that has denied its citizens basic Civil Liberties. Such countries are sad, miserable places.
I focus on Social Program issues also, and am extremely unhappy with our party which has, for the first time that I know of, placed SS on a table in front of people like Alan Simpson to devour. Just risking that is abhorrent and dangerous to me.
First and foremost though, I focus on the Constitution being protected because without that we do not have a country and the abuses that will, and have, occurred will not stop with just a few of us.
So I look for candidates who take their oaths of office seriously, 'to defend and protect the Constitution of the US against all enemies, foreign and domestic'.
I do not trust candidates who ignore the laws of this land.
