What Questions would you like to hear in Tonight's Debate? (Congress, democratic) - Elections - Page 2 - City-Data Forum

All of the above. Let's talk issues. American politics is a pit of snakes and you're going to get close to a few no matter what, no matter who you are.

I want to hear why I should vote for you, and not why I should not vote for the other guy.

Except flag pins. I don't want to hear any dumb dumb questions like that.

And I want them to explain what they are going to do about the health care mess in which we now find ourselves. I want answers from both of them. NOT bumper sticker slogans and NOT attacks on one another. Let them talk about THEIR policies and NOT the policies of their opponent.

Amen!!!!

Mr. McCain,,,if your so against earmarking and pork barrel spending ("I would veto any bill that had any pork and make the names public") why did you support the bailout when it had 180 billion dollars of pork added to the initial 700 billion? How could you support something you said you would veto if you were president?

(Not in any order of importance.)

1. What are your plans to fix the economy?

2. What will you do to fix the healthcare crisis?

3. Will you raise taxes? If so, why?
If not, how will you get us out of debt?

4. How and when will you end the war in Iraq? (SPECIFIC time-line).

5. What are your plans to alleviate the energy crisis?

6. What do you think needs to change within our education system?

For McCain:
Specifically, how is your economic plan any different than that of George Bush?
What is your plan to go after Bin Laden?
What are the specifics of your exit plan for Iraq?
If the Iraqi government wants US troops out of Iraq will you remove our troops?
Do you truly believe that Obama has terrorist connections?

Senator McCain, many of your supporters believe that Obama is a terrorist. Do you believe that?

Senator Obama, are you a terrorist?

Actually, that is a great question!
I would love for Barack Obama to clear that one up, once and for all!
Just to get her to shut up about it!
