The U.S. election finale is within spitting distance, yet some people still seem to have trouble articulating why they favor one candidate over the other.
So, I'd like to know what is the issue that you care most about -- OTHER THAN GAY RIGHTS! (I know this is a gay-oriented message board. So it's a given that most of us would be concerned about gay rights.)
I'm a union worker, so for me, I'm concerned about how unions would fare between the two candidates: President Obama supports the rights of collective bargaining. Governor Romney supports so-called right-to-work laws, which weaken unions. Therefore, the candidates' stance on unions is my number one issue since it affects me personally.
That's not to say that I don't care passionately about the candidates other differences. For example, my partner doesn't have health insurance, so I want very much to see the Obama model for health care put into place because I think it has fewer restrictions than Romney's model would have.
And I apologize if this thread excludes those of you who live in countries other than the U.S. Non-Americans should feel free to comment on their own country's issues and how the different political parties treat them.
