What topics are important for a poltical deabate?

[Technosoul]

A lot of people were unhappy with the kinds of questions being asked of Presidental canadates, using the poll vote on the one topic that you think is most important. I will leave room for you to add a topic I left out, if you add it soon enough as space is limited. You can vote on more then one topic but try to limit votes to three or less per person - pick the most important ones.

Opps, misspelled debate in the title ..... monitors... help?

Socialized medicine.
How many Americans are willing to have an extra 20% taken out of their pay to finance Hillary care?

Health Care. How many Americans care that 40% (and growing) of US employers do not offer health insurance, 9 million children have no health insurance, the current system is already subsidized by the government (no taxes on deductions=20 billion a year+incentive to buy more expensive insurance), and 30% of the current cost of health insurance covers advertising, paperwork, and office staff deciding whether or not to cover someone?

How many favor regulation over how much drug companies can charge (force them to lower the price). And the same for doctor fees and for hospital costs.

Allow me to mention the most important thing, which was not even on the list......

CONSTITUTIONALITY and the LIMITS of GOVERNMENT!

That is THE most important topic in a debate for any election, and the topic ALL canidates have sought to evade, sidestep in their voiced positions and stances, except Mike Gravel, and Ron Paul.

That is the main reason those two canidates can't get national media attention, that is the main reason the bi-partisan majority want them excluded from the debates, and the main reason why corporations are spending large amounts of money to silence them on all fronts in the media, and through rigged polling to "bring out" front runners.

I listed "Pretection of our consitutional rights" as one topic, the things you mentioned would fall under that topic heading I believe, and that was intended to cover your concerns and this poll was not rigged in any manner. But remember I can only list 15 options. And I left room for others to add one by clicking the button to allow for additional topics to be listed when posting.

And likewise the topic 'Trade and the economy of the middle class' topic would bring out those items your mentioned from the canadates.

Didn't want to cry "oppression" here Techno, I truly missed it in the checklist. Sorry.

One good thing in your advantage is that "protecting the consitution" got the most votes in this VERY unscientific poll.

(meaning that the poll did not have enough people surveyed from a diverse range of locations)
