DU Debate.

[ColbertWatcher]

Everyone agrees that ABC failed the electorate with their two-hour infomercial on how not to run a debate.

That aside, one of the participants will be debating the body occupying the GOP's latest President Suit™.

What I'd like to know is, if given the chance, what question would you want answered in a debate for the upcoming general election?

Rules:
* it doesn't matter which Democratic candidate you support, make the question so that it can be asked of either
* keep the questions in reality, none of this "According to Tinfoilhats.com, an anonymous poster on conspiracies r us.org said, etc, etc."
* speaking of which, no conspiracy crap, ABC covered that last night, and FOX covers it on a daily basis. We're liberals, we can be adults and ask serious questions about important issues
* no "tabloid-type" or sensationalist questions
* in addition to questions, if you would like to see a certain moderator, post that
* or, if you would like to see it on a certain network
* also, include any "debate" rules you would like to see followed.

Please, let's keep this clean and keep the snarky comments somewhere else.

We don't have to perpetuate the mistakes, we can make this a way to see what a real debate would look like (and then maybe email it to the networks with a picture of Nelson Muntz pointing, and a big "HA! HA" next to him)

Thank you in advance for posting like people who care about more than American Idol.

1. "If there is evidence of criminal behavior found within the previous administration,

as many within the country and around the world believe, and most specifically as it relates to the lead up to the Iraq war, what would be your reaction, and how would you proceed?"

2. Thank you...

...it seems everyone was dissatisfied enough just to complain, but not so dissatisfied to suggest any alternatives.

3. "Do you retain a preemptive strike on Iran as an option?"

4. Do you believe Republicans stole votes in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections?

5. Outline your plan for improving our healthcare system and extending

affordable healthcare coverage to all citizens who want or need it - including those with pre-existing conditions.

They'll kick McLame's sorry ass on that one. Either of them. :-)

8. Will you be implementing a tax on war profiteers - say 200% tax, and freezing all of the

profiteers' assets?

Also, will you be reversing NAFTA to help Americans regain their jobs and order all companies to offer a living wage?

Will you be raising the COLA for Social Security by about 200% to ensure that the disabled can pay down their debts?
