If you could ask any question tonight....

If you could ask any question tonight at the debate, what would it be...the question just needs to be answerable.

Mine: (actually kind of a 2 part question) Do you believe in Heaven? If so, how do you get there?

It's a faith based question...but since so much is made of courting the "religious right" let em answer.

I wish they'd leave the candidates religious beliefs out of the debates.

What a terrible question, and has nothing to do with how a person could lead.

If I were asking dem questions, I would repeatedly demand an answer of how to pay for all this free shit. I would shut the debate down until they answered.

Interesting response from a doctor this AM on TV. When asked to discuss Sanders' Free Health Care as a right for every citizen, his response was: Does a person have a right to be treated for a heart attack? Federal law already mandates that anyone who is having a serious medical issue like a heart attack must be treated regardless of ability to pay or being insured. Federal law does not mandate that a person with a common cold have access to medical care. (paraphrased)

What Sanders is advocating is that every malady a person encounters regardless of severity has to be treated for free and is a right. That is idiocy of the highest order and financially unsustainable.

Give me a candidate who advocates a right to unfettered access to legal protection and he/she gets my vote. One can be just as severely harmed from inability to access competent legal representation as medical care.

Poke2001...there are no terrible questions on this thread...unless you want to ask Boxers or Briefs.

Disagree. Asking a candidate about their religious view is terrIble.

The only religious question that matters to ME for a candidate is if they promise to protect my 1st amendment rights. I'd actually rank their opinion of boxers or briefs above their views on heaven.

Good question I think - uncomfortable for some I am sure, but still it gets into the heart of who someone is. A reasoned atheist, an agnostic, a devout believer - would be relevant to know. What I would hope you would find is who owns their beliefs and who is posing.
