your issues

[low_delta]

What are the issues that are important to you when deciding where your vote is going? Guns? Education? Big government? Morality? Abortion? Are there any specific segments of the larger issues that are more important to you than other parts of them.

I'm not concerned with your stance on the issue, so much as I'm wondering what the issues are, that are important to people (unfortunately, this sample group is rather small). Feel free to comment anonymously.

In no particular order:
Environment
International Relations (including keeping us out of gratuitous wars).
Separation of Church and State
Fiscal Responsibility

I'm reluctantly of the opinion that the right to bear arms is more important than banning them.
Morality and Abortion come under my heading of separation of Church and State; the State should not be deciding such questions for me.
Big government is always an issue. Everyone wants the services that "Big" government provides, but doesn't want to pay for them. I'm of the opinion that trimming things now and then is good, however we have now been through a good "trim" session and it's time to go forward.

That's about how I feel about it. But since I don't think gun control is going to change drastically, no matter which candidate is elected, guns is a non-issue for me.
