Too bad the Committee for Presidential Debates (headed by a former democrat and republican) are the ones dictating what the questions will be that get asked. Note they refuse to allow 3rd parties into the debate, nor will they ask any meaningful questions.....you know....the ones like.....1.Why is Congress abdicating it's responsibility to declare war by voting on resolutions to allow the President to do so in direct violation of our Constitution? 2.Why have both McCain and Obama voted to provide illegal aliens with welfare, social security, college grants, access to public education and the like all to tune of multiple tens of billions of dollars per year, in detriment to our economy as a whole?3.Why are McBama lying about Social Security and not being honest with the public that the baby boomers Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid costs will bankrupt this country if they are allowed to receive them? There is no way to reform the system so that the boomers will get their retirement. That's more than 50+ trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities over the next 15 years. 4.Why is there no oversight of the Working Group on Financial Markets or the Federal Reserve? 5.Why has there been no full hands on audit of the Gold reserves supposedly in Fort Knox for multiple decades? 6.Why are McBama not agreeing with or promoting the 4 points listed by all 3rd parties as what is vitally important for the longevity of our nation? The 4 Points are these:Foreign Policy: The Iraq War must end as quickly as possible with removal of all our soldiers from the region. We must initiate the return of our soldiers from around the world, including Korea, Japan, Europe and the entire Middle East. We must cease the war propaganda, threats of a blockade and plans for attacks on Iran, nor should we re-ignite the cold war with Russia over Georgia. We must be willing to talk to all countries and offer friendship and trade and travel to all who are willing. We must take off the table the threat of a nuclear first strike against all nations.Privacy: We must protect the privacy and civil liberties of all persons under US jurisdiction. We must repeal or radically change the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the FISA legislation. We must reject the notion and practice of torture, eliminations of habeas corpus, secret tribunals, and secret prisons. We must deny immunity for corporations that spy willingly on the people for the benefit of the government. We must reject the unitary presidency, the illegal use of signing statements and excessive use of executive orders.The National Debt: We believe that there should be no increase in the national debt. The burden of debt placed on the next generation is unjust and already threatening our economy and the value of our dollar. We must pay our bills as we go along and not unfairly place this burden on a future generation.The Federal Reserve: We seek a thorough investigation, evaluation and audit of the Federal Reserve System and its cozy relationships with the banking, corporate, and other financial institutions. The arbitrary power to create money and credit out of thin air behind closed doors for the benefit of commercial interests must be ended. There should be no taxpayer bailouts of corporations and no corporate subsidies. Corporations should be aggressively prosecuted for their crimes and frauds.
