What's your dream debate question? |
|
OK... Bush* and our Candidate are debating.
The moderator says that now the candidates can ask each other questions.
If you had the power... what question would you want "Democratic Candidate" to ask Bush*?

President Bush: In the days following 9/11, when planes were grounded for days and no one was allowed to fly, why did you gave permission for private Saudi jets to pick up 24 members and associates of the bin Laden family in four or five cities and allow them to fly out of the country without any interrogation? I'm sure the American people would like to know why on the day after Osama Bin Laden attacked this country, the only way you could fly over America was if your name was bin Laden?

How do you wash the the blood of tens of thousands of dead and hundreds of thousands of wounded from your hands? This because you can't distinguish from an imminent WMD threat and a PROGRAM? (now a non-existent program)

Are you running the country like your past business ventures? If so, who will bail us out this time?

10. I bet he sleeps very well |
|
He doesn't care that the world hates us, or that he's driving our economy into the tank while keeping us in a perpetual state of fear.
After all, this is a guy that spends a HUGE amount of time on vacation or at fundraisers.

.... the point is to ask him the question so that people can hear how full of it he is.
But seriously, given the chance there would be better questions & to really get to him would require a series of questions, otherwise he'll try to skate away like he does in press conferences and did with Gore.

Mr. Bush, as president, you have spent nearly 30% of your time on vacation (please correct my statistic if wrong). Which jobs that average Americans have allow you that much vacation time and how can you expect to relate to the working American when you are so often on vacation?

14. Do you trust machines more than the people? |
|
Based on the famous 2000 election meme "I Trust the People" and Jim Baker standing in front of the camera saying "only machines can be trusted because machines are objective while people are subjective."

16. Do you care about the loss of jobs in this country? |
|
Your plan to allow 'guest workers' appears to legitimize US companies paying substandard wages to laborers from Mexico while Americans are losing jobs at the fastest pace since Hoover.
In previous recessions it's been standard practice to extend the jobless benefits so that the economy can keep moving and people can take care of their families. But you haven't done that. And this is on top of the fact that the average length of time that people ares pending looking for another job has extended significantly, and massive amounts of people have given up looking altogether. These people seem to have been completely forgotten by your administration.
The number of homeless families has skyrocketed, as have the amount of personal bankruptcies, foreclosures on homes, and the number of working families applying for food stamps.
Since you're going to be introducing CAFTA to Congress soon, please let the American public know how committed you are to protecting American jobs as well as those that are losing them for longer and longer periods.

17. If the election ends as close as it is expected |
|
what safety has been put in place so that we do not have a repeat of 2000 with the SCOTUS selecting the President? I have no worry that the Democrats WILL WIN but securing the victory is a real concern for me.
