What do you think will be the first item on his her agenda? If you think it is something other than the poll choices, feel free to explain.

It depends upon the candidate winning the election.

A Ron Paul presidency would have a significantly different agenda than most of the other GOP candidates.

Simply stated, listen to each candidate and you can clearly understand what are their motives and agendas.

What poll? There is nothing up.

I would pinch myself and wakeup from the bad dream. Ok, I will play, if Romney wins, the only possible GOP candidate, not much changes.

The poor will get what they deserve for allowing or in the case of the south,helping it to happen. Americans will go bankrupt year after year paying HC cost. SS will will be lost(they hate it anyway)wage slavery will become what 70 to 90%of the people will live under. The south will get even more racist feeling that they made Obama a one term President. This will set blacks even further back because the tea party will use that momentum to get rid of black supervisors and middle management and business owners. The Hispanic community will be punished somehow(don't know how but they will figure it out)the Dem's will slip away because the people they fight for are not the type to want power and control(unfortunately). Business will hire because now with no benefits no rights and wage slave pay it will be a capitalist dream.

I was thinking that too, but now I think that a Romney victory is going to be a massive boon to Wall Street types. They will finally have one of their own who really knows how to sell off the most profitable quarters of the public sector for private gain at the expense of the American people. Sure, most other American presidents have done their dead level best to give them the country, but Romney is a guy who has experience doing just this sort of thing. He will be amazingly effecient at it.

Ron Paul will bring our troops home, saving billions right off the bat.

This alone will save SS, Medicare/Medicaid and the welfare system as it is now.

Then on to the federal reserve.
