Senators Barack Obama and John McCain are heading into their conventions neck and neck in the presidential race, with voters focused overwhelmingly on economic issues but convinced that the candidates are not paying enough attention to their priorities.

donot blame the repubicans for the economic crisis and maybe not the dems either...although i believe the dems want everyone to own a home no matter how poor...well, that is exactly what happened...thank bankers dropped all the rules and loaned money to people who could never afford the homes they bought...blame the bankers/mortgage lenders/stupid people like one family who earned a total of $30,000 a year and bought a $350,000 home in staten island and now are whining they are going to lose their home...DUH!!!! SO WHO IS AT FAULT...a politican or the bankers/mortgage lenders/people...then look at a government who spends money foolishly like the governor of alaska who spent %50 million dollars of your tax money on a BRIDGE TO NO WHERE and was asked to drop the project yet refused...this bridge served about 52 citizens...our politicans take lobbyist money/add pork to the budget and we sit by and say nothing...we NEED TERM LIMITS FOR THESE POLITICANS...like the president can only serve a total of 8 years...why can congress keep their jobs FOREVER...and continue to waste our tax dollars...this money could be wisely spent like building a missile defense system with inceptors to prevent iran or any other rouge nation fromdetonating a nuclear warhead over our nation causing an electro magnetic pulse (EMP)...CUTTING OFF ALL COMMUNICATION...no transportation/no pumping gas/no deliver of anything like food/water/etc. and the military could not defend us because they cannot communicate to potect us...this is inevitable ask senators franks and kyl from arizona...check out ken timmerman or the claremont institute dr. william graham who reported this inevitable happening to our government yet for over a decade we knew this is a possibility and we have done nothing to protect our people from this catastropy...we are sitting ducks watching iran launch missile from scud launchers from freighters/cargo ships while int he caspian sea/and just last week launch a missile into space...and no one inthe world seems to be worried...DUH!!!!!! THEY ARE PLOTTING AND PLANNING TO ERASE US OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH...it was their president's promise...do we remember this and sit back and not ask our government to protect us with this necessary missile defense system with inceptors...which is our only hope to prevent iran or any other nation from doing this incredibly serious end to what we know as our existance...WITHOUT BEING SAFE....WE HAVE NOTHING...wake up america...write to our congress/president/and demand that they protect us and stop the pork/lobbyist money and waste our money on garbage instead of building the one thing that will keep us safe
