Great thread. I am over working on national security on steeleing1's Irag thread right now. ;-) Hope to get some answers to my questions!
The Economy because I feel it is a threat to our national security.
economy and failure to have an energy plan...both affect national security
I also agree it is the economy.
Most important issue for me in this election.
Fiscal Responsibility
When the Democrats previously controlled Congress, they spent a lot of our hard-earned money on entitlement programs and pork barrel spending. When the Republicans gained control of Congress, they spent even more of our hard-earned dollars in the same reckless manner. As the Democrats have just regained control again, we will have to wait to see what they do. However, their actions don?t look too promising at this moment.
Of course, Congress can?t take the entire blame for bad spending bills. The President is required to sign bills into law, and the current President never found it important enough to veto even one bloated Republican spending bill.
While we are amassing a tremendous federal deficit, many Americans are forced to make tough decisions about retirement, health insurance and even the education of our children. It is imperative that we immediately cease the wasteful federal spending so we can pare down the national debt and significantly increase the amount of our own money we get to keep. The federal debts aren?t going away and there are but two choices we can make. We can either tighten our belts a bit today or force our children and grandchildren to starve tomorrow. It?s time that we start expecting our representatives in Washington to act with the national checkbook as we do with our family checkbooks.

The 3 most important issues for me are:
1) responsible spending
2) our involvement in overseas conflicts and massive military/aid spending
3) the out of control spending and civil rights violations in the name of homeland security
They're all pretty closely tied together IMO.
