Questions Clinton and Obama weren't asked at the last debate

Now, wouldn't it have been nice to have had these questions asked?

1. the media is certainly a sick joke in Amurka, but

neither candidate wants any of those questions asked.

2. those questions will never be asked

look what happened to dennis and john-the two most progressive candidates were ignored by the media.

3. I've posted elsewhere here that I'd love to have former candidates ask questions

of the remaining candidates

I think that would be good ratings-generating TV, but it might not end up with questions and answers the big networks want to hear.

Still think the NPR debate was one of the best - least flash, most substance, pretty equal time for candidates even back when there were many.

4. Nader proves he is an ASS as usual...these questions should be asked of the REPUKES, not the dems...

asking the dems why they would not CUT the defense budget is certain SUICIDE - for the DEMS.

Make the fucking WAR MONGERING REPUKES DEFEND their bloated defense budgeting and WAR MONGERING...

Make the REPUKES defend THEIR policies that have held the country hostage for the past 3 or 4 DECADES!!!

5. So what questions SHOULD we ask Clinton and Obama

How's the weather? Favorite color? Boxers or briefs?

The hardest thing to admit is that the Democratic Party is complicit, so they should get no pass on the tough questions. If you look at all of those questions you will come to the sad realization that the answers from both sides ARE IDENTICAL.

The Republicans don't pretend to be progressive, the Democrats do.

Clinton or Obama won't get within 50 miles of an Israel/Palestine question, or a military defense question. Their "handlers" won't let them for fear of proving to the left what many of us already know - the emperor does indeed have no clothes.

Pity.
