Under One Hour Till Debate...Questions I Would Like To See Answered

1. Wall Street and Washington DC corruption have all but crippled our economy, special interest lobbying and greed having almost destroying the Middle Class. As President, are you willing on your first day in office to close down K Street, and chase the special interest/corporate lobbyists out of town? If yes, how would you go about it, and if not, you have just lost my vote.

2. The National Chamber of Commerce in the name of corporate profits have been protecting illegal aliens for decades in the name of cheap wages. As President, are you willing in your first 100 days ready to A) Close and secure our Southern Border with Mexico, our airports and other entry points, B) Criminalize the hiring and/or aiding and abetting of illegal aliens working in America with a mandatory prison sentence, C)authorize raids at both homes and work places to deport those working here illegally, and D) put a five year moratorium on work visas for people from foreign countries seeking work in America? If you are prepared to take these steps, how would you go about implementing them? If you are not willing to implement these steps, you have just lost my vote.

3. For decades the Federal Government has stolen our Social Security funds, leaving a worthless IOU in their place. Are you willing to take IMMEDIATE measures to repay those funds with interest to SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY for us 75 million Baby Boomers who have been paying into the system now for 30-40 years so that our retirement years are protected?

STock Market Crashing and Burning...Ali Velshi Says Stay Calm

At the beginning of this year, even with the mortgage crisis that cost us almost every penny of the equity we had in our home, my wife and I were thinking our NEST EGG in the form of our retirement account coupled with Social Security would see us still be able to retire right around the age of 60, maybe worse case scenario 62.

Between Friday after the bailout vote, and today we have watched the Dow Jones PLUMMET to new lows not seen since BEFORE GEORGE W. BUSH took office, have watched our own investments shrivel up and die. I am angry, bitter, even freaked out, and want REAL ANSWERS to, "What the hell is going on?"

Instead of answers I have to listen to CNN, FOX and other news agencies giving air time to Sarah Palin's drivel about William Dyer! FUCK WILLIAM DYER, FUCK SARAH PALIN, and GIVE US SOME REAL NEWS! This is a national if not global crisis unlike any we have ever seen before. Ali Velshi telling us NOT TO PANICK, telling us we may be seeing the beginning of the bottom from where we can start REBUILDING FROM! Give us a break! Many of us my age (am almost 53) have worked for ALMOST 40 years, have done everything we were told we needed to do so that we could enjoy our GOLDEN YEARS, and it is now all BUT GONE, and you tell us we CAN START REBUILDING?

Why isn't Middle American out in the streets? Why aren't there 1, 2 even three million Americans MARCHING ON WASHINGTON, DC? We want the bailout bill OVER TURNED, we want the LOBBYISTS IMPRISONED, we want corrupt politicians prosecuted and imprisoned. We want our news shows to dump the GOD DAMNED TALKING HEADS, and get back to the job of DELIVERING THE NEWS, unfiltered and unbiased! We don't want to hear Sarah Palin's BULL SHIT DRIVEL, do not want to see your computerized electorial map, do not want to hear about your poll of polls! We want REAL NEWS, WANT REAL TRUTH.

Reformer Sarah Palin Benefits From Wall Street Bailout PORK

Apparently the Republican Senators made sure that Sarah Palin and her husband Todd were/are properly rewarded for stepping up to bat...Sarah's reward for stepping in and being Senator McCain's running mate? PORK BARREL MONEY FOR ALASKAN FISHERMAN. That's right folks, in what is either the most ironic piece of pork to ever come down the line, or a deliberate attempt to REPAY FAVORS, Todd Palin's fishing business stands to benefit handsomely from the worst bill to ever pass its way through the Congress.
