Let's say you're at the next debate
and you get to ask one question for both candidates. What would it be?

Mine would be, "As president what would you do to strengthen the economy and lower the unemployment rate."

I know it's not too flashy, but it's an issue that I think is on a lot of people's minds.

1. as president, what would you do to eliminate our dependence on oil?
I think that'd be a real stumper for chimp.

3. That's a good one
That is something we will need to face in the very near future and we probably should be now. But you know it ain't going to happen with Bush in office.

9. To the chimp:
"How do you sleep? Seriously. If I was responsible for the deaths and injuries of thousands of American soldiers and innocent civilians in an unnecessary vanity war, I couldn't live with myself. How do you do it?"

"Follow up: In the first debate you indicated that you know how hard the Iraq situation is because you watch it on tv. Are you serious? I think you owe our troops and their families an apology for your flippant, callous remark. Don't you? "

10. Unfortunately you have to address both candidates with one question.
At least I think that's the way it works. But your question is one that I'd like to ask Bush, also.

11. To Kerry and Bush
Do you think a gay marine fighting for FREEDOM in Iraq should have the right to a civil union with his/her partner?

13. Since the US has by far the highest per capita spending on health care--
--why must there be any American who is refused care because of not having the money? What will you do about the 18,000 people a year that die in the US because they can't pay for health care?

15. Why did you attempt to cut back on Sky Marshals because
of budget constraints and ask them to keep it a secret from the airlines they are supposed to protect and yet are asking for yet more tax cuts?
Is this your idea of 'protecting" America?
