Related: About this forumWhat Questions would you like the Candidates to Answer at the Debates?
Perhaps we can develop a list and send it to the Moderaters of the Debates, who knows maybe they will use them. So what question would you like to hear.
Mine
Mitt Romney Will you please list 5 loophole deductions you would close if elected (God forbid)?
Mike Turzai said that voter ID in PA was designed to allow you to win PA. Do you believe that is an appropriate way to win an election, by suppressing the vote of American Citzens?
Are you aware that when you insulted 47% of Americans for feeling like they were victims entitled to healthcare and food, are you aware Mr. Romney they you were referring mostly to people in you base??
President Obama, When you are re-elected will you work harder to get GMO food labeled? Do more inspections of the meat industry? And not ignor independant research that shows GMO Corn causes tumor and obesity?
OK those are mine off the top of my head
so what would you ask? what do you want answered

(3,867 posts)I would also ask RMoney which is more expensive ensuring all people or making uninsured people go to the ER.
For Obama:
Mr. President, if states decide to legalize marijuana will you honor their wishes? Also, if states do legalize, will you end the federal prohibition of marijuana?
It should be left up to the states.
I would then ask them both to pull out their wallets and see who has the most money in them. Which might not be fair because I doubt President's carry money. But I bet Mitt has multiple hundreds.

2) What steps will you take to protect American citizens from police brutality when they are peacefully exercising their 1st Amendment rights? (as called for by the UN Rapateur on Human Rights)
3) Can you guarantee that you will not take this country into a war with Iran?
4) Will you take steps to begin investigations into the cause of the financial meltdown?
5) Can you guarantee that your administration will resist all efforts to tie Social Security to the Deficit, being that it had nothing to do with the Deficit and that you will not, in any way, cut benefits to those who are or will be collecting the benefits they earned, over and under 55?
6) What plans do you have to prosecute war criminals who engaged in Human Rights abuses such as torture, eg?
7) Who will you appoint to your Cabinet?
8) Will you raise taxes on the wealthy so that they too are paying their fair share?
9) What plans do you have to help Main Street, now that Wall Street has been bailed out? What is your plan to put Americans back to work?
10) Will you reject the recently exposed Trade Agreement which gives foreign entities control over US laws?
11) What do you plan to do to take the money out of politics which has left ordinary Americans with little voice in their electoral system?
12) What protections do you plan to give to Whistle Blowers?
I've got lots more, but doubt any of them would be accepted anyhow.
