What questions do you want answered during the debate?

I wanna know how Romney's going to create these "12 million jobs". Lay it out for us, IMO its just empty rhetoric.

 

I'd like to know how Obama is going to reverse the damage he's done to the economy and national debt- with no spin.

I'd like to know how Romney plans to deal with the national debt and what specifically he will do to create jobs- with no spin.

 

I'd be interested in them both answering questions about the feasibility of QE3 and the upcoming fiscal cliff.

Also, I'd like to hear both of their visions of what will make America the leader of industry once again. Specifically what areas of the production they envision the future to be.

I'd also like them to explain what they would do to get the US out of $16 trillion dollars in debt (the answer better not be "print more money").

 

You love copy and pasting links of opinion pieces. You can find an opinion on any issue from both sides all over the place. I want specifics from Romney himself. That link you gave didn't give any specifics on how he's going to create these jobs, just that its been done.

 

I'd like specifics from each about their budgetary goals and how they're going to get there. Not just ideas, but numbers and targets. Expecting X revenue and Y expenses (Y1 for defense, Y2 for social programs, Y3 for entitlements). The difference will be the deficit. If they're expecting to increase revenue, answer whether it comes from higher tax rates, economic growth or closing loopholes. If they're increasing expenses, tell us exactly where it's going.

 

I'm sure the question will come up tomorrow during the debates.

You're a bit snipey for a Gary Johnson voter.

 

I'd ask Obama about his insistence that green energy was the future. And if he still believes as fervently as he did in 2008 after Solyndra, et al.

 

I'd also ask Obama: What exactly did the Stimulus Plan do?

 

You seek out the truth in mainly op-eds and blogs?

 

i want them both to explain why introducing policy based solely on business interests of their contributors isnt treason

 

And worth every penny.

 

I would like to know what they are planning to do about the corporations that have taken over our country. What are they planning to do about Monsanto? What are they planning to do about big Pharma?

 

FUCK! the stupid computer switched after I had written 4 questions, now I have to start again. Sigh.

For Obama, you pledged in your Inaugural address to close Guantanamo. Not only have you not done so, your administration has challenged lower court rulings granting some legal rights to detainees. As a former teacher of Constitutional law, what is the Constitutional justfication for holding prisoners for life without charges or trial? Under what circumstances would US citizens be so held?

For Romney, the Republican convention opposed repeal of "don't ask don't tell" and called for reinstating the ban on LBGT people serving in the military. What would you do with the LGBT military personnel who have come out in the past year? Kick them out? Tell them to go back into the closet and everyone pretend they don't know?

For Obama, there have been no prosecutions of those who caused the financial and housing collapse, even where there was some evidence of fraud. Yet your Justice Department has vigorously prosecuted medical marijuana dispensaries. Please explain why marijuana use is seen as a higher priority than millions losing their jobs and homes, so as to be so much more worthy of resources.

For Romney, your running mate co-sponsored a personhood amendment that outlaws abortion in all circumstances, most forms of birth control, and in vitro fertilization. You said in an interview that you would "absolutely" support such an amendment and your convention endorsed it. How many years imprisonment would a woman get who had an abortion? For purposes of comparison, in Latin American countries with similar laws, women have received 20-30 years. If a rape victim became pregnant and had an abortion, should her sentence be shorter or longer than that of the rapist?

For both candidates, what do you plan to do about global warming? If you believe it's a myth, how do you account for the melting ice caps?

 

I'm going to be scrutinizing Romney wondering if I can see him as the next leader of this country. I already know Obama and what he brings to the office.

I have a feeling all the substantive stuff will be handle with generic talking points of wonderful plans for the future by both sides.
