    Contraception or Gas Prices, what issue is bigger in this election?

    Of course, neither of these issues are major political issues, but they sure seem to get a lot of attention.  I think that they are surely the most talked about secondary political issues.  Like it or not one of these or the other will be a major reason for some people to choose which candidate they vote for.  Which do you think will have a bigger impact on voting?

    I would say gas prices because gas prices affect a larger part of society.  Contraception issues would have a more limited range of interest ie. women who cannot afford their own contraception and need assistance.

    Gas prices affect anyone who has to drive, industry, transportation and on down the line.

      The elephant in the room is the Constitution being murdered. The Corporate Party doesn't want it's media arm talking about that monster.

      Obama has his kill list with Americans. And if you think you'll never be on that list,... Germany 80 yrs ago!

    To me neither is more important, I still don't understand why people believe they have some "right" to low gas prices. I have to be very skeptical and say that more people will vote on gas prices because that's something people constantly complain about and this is something Americans have to deal with more often. A large percentage of the population doesn't have a personal stake in the contraception issue or simply sees it as not as pressing.

      Bravo! But did you know that the magicians behind the curtain keep us dazzled with these non-issues so they can destroy America.

      It's now a felony to protest what the government does. Ten years in prison for speaking out! This isn't America any more

    Fuel prices basically affect the whole economy. Drivers, Truck drivers to get the merchandise to the stores. Higher fuel prices always trickle down to where you are paying more for more than just fuel.

      And what effect does the Constitution have when it's gone? Did you know of Obama's and Bush's acts of treason? It's now a felony to protest what the government does. Obama has his kill list with Americans on it. And much, much more...

    And why do trivial issues receive such BIG attention?

    It's because the Corporate Party controls the Corporate Party media. The illusion of normalcy and choice must be kept alive while they dismantle America.

    Sound Orwellian? Sinister? You betcha. And Americans are falling for it like dopes!

    The biggest issue is the shredding of the United States Constitution. It's almost gone, and the assaults on it continue on a daily basis.

    Here's just one example, and I dare you to watch these two 4-minute videos:

    RNC Scripted:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKaXqoC4DjE

    DNC Scripted:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmaE2Aez_XY

    They prove that both halves of the Corporate Party presidential convention have eliminated voting and Roberts Rules of Order. It's all a sham. A lie.

    Protesting what the government does is now a felony. Free speech isn't entirely gone, but the government continues to offer up legislation to censor the Internet -- the only media they don't control... yet. SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, TPP and more.

    Obama has his "Kill List" which includes American citizens.

    And Americans are so gullible that many of them still believe that 9/11 was a slick attack by backward Arabs using box cutters against a plane load of passengers and military trained pilots, run from a cave in Pakistan by an old man on dialysis.

    But the plot is by the Power Elite to dismantle America and to create the New World Order George H.W. Bush gushed about on 9/11/1990 -- exactly 11 years before 9/11.

    Americans are stuck watching the TV controlled by the Corporate Party, fed lies on a daily basis, fooled into thinking that the new Hitler 2.0 is good for them.

    Eighty years ago, Germany fell for their own lies. Hitler was slick and patriotic. But the Corporate Party has learned a lot from their earlier experiments.

    If this all sounds too sinister, then just go to sleep. It'll all be over shortly.

    Or you could research this, help shine a light on the evil being perpetrated in plain sight and help to wake people up. It's time to get ready for the storm.

    Supposedly, Albert Pike wrote a letter in 1871 to another 33rd degree Mason in Italy, a plan for three world wars -- the 3rd ignited between Israel (which was to be made possible by the 2nd) and the Muslims. Why the wars? To establish their New World Order
