I would like to ask both candidates this question. If Isreal were to get attacked by Nuclear Weapons, would they as President of the United States defend Isreal?

Someone PLEASE ask Hillary this question for me...during the LA debate she said that "we" (the Clinton administration) had bombed Iraq for 6 days, so she KNEW how "bad" Sadaam was. I want to know, if this knowledge and "experience" made her predisposed to vote for Bush's resolution to go to war. And if so, then perhaps she wasn't duped by Bush's "intelligence" but would have voted for war no matter what, because her "experience" told her that Saddam was "bad."

When is someone going to ask Obama about his church honoring Louis Farrakhan? How can he represent all of us when he belongs to a church that honors racism? I haven't heard anything about Obama's plans on handling Israel?

Duval Patrick, a supporter of Obama and a friend who share ideas, told the Ma voters that the state had to do more for them. The first 100 days in office were "just words" while he spent tax payers money redecorating his office and ordering a larger Limo than Romneys. If Obama receives the nomination and the election, what guarantee can he provide that he will make the "right" choices on Day 1 and not repeat Patrick's mistakes. His "right choice on the war was before he had the pressure in an actual senate seat.

The debate should include questions about Senator Clinton co-sponsoring recent legislation to protect the American Consumer. That legislation is titled "The Discount Pricing Consumer Protection Act" (s.2261). The bill was introduced 10/30/2007 in response to the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn nearly 100 years of antitrust (PRICE FIXING) law. The US Supreme Court decision (according to the 4 dissenting Justices) will cost every American Family of four an extra THOUSAND DOLLARS EVERY YEAR. The total damage to the American Consumer is a hefty 75 BILLION DOLLARS annually. Senator Clinton moved swiftly to support this legislation to correct the US Supreme Court''s misinterpretation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. This legislation will return the legally protected right of price competition to our economy. The recent Congressional Tax Rebate to stimulate the economy will be erroded by more than half just to pay for the HIGHER PRICES caused by this narrow US Supreme Court decision. The candidates should address this important CONSUMER PROTECTION LEGISLATION.
