Ooooh - pick me! Pick me!
Senator McCain, you spent two years (not five as many of your surrogates have claimed) as a POW in North Vietnam. While not disparaging yours or any other military member's service to our country, there are well documented instances of you losing your temper - some nearing physical altercations. What treatment did you seek and/or receive after being released from your captors and do you think that you are able to be a cool, levelheaded leader despite your history of anger issues?
#2 in two parts:
Senator McCain, this last Friday and independent investigator found that Sarah Palin broke Alaska ethics laws concerning her involvement and failure to intervene to curb her husband's pressuring officials about the firing of the State Trooper. Immediately after the report was released, Ms. Palin lied to reporters that she had been cleared of any broken laws or any wrongdoing on her part. Will you allow her to continue to lie to the American public once in office and will there be limits on the subjects that she is allowed to lie about?
Part Two: Given the findings of this investigation concerning Mr. Palin's close involvement, what assurances can you offer the American people that Todd Palin will have no position power or influence in the day-to-day operations of your administration?

"lies to the American public"-----
are a big part of the problem with the current administration.
"Limits on the subjects"------------we are all living witnesses to the lack of limits the current party will go to----take the lies that led us into invading Iraq-----the human and monetary losses are huge. We are still left with confronting terrorists, many of whom call the kingdom of Saudi Arabia home (you know, the origin of ALL of the terrorists from the so-called 9/11 hijacking/attacks)----but oh, thats another set of lies now isn't it----oil kind of lies. House of Bush/House of Saud.

Here is a very political animated, cartoonish skit.
Bound to offend nearly everyone.
IT IS VERY POLITICAL.
DON'T GO THERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR.

This article brings up another excellent question for the candidates.
Senators, we can all agree that energy supplies are absolutely vital to our national security and with the all-to-familiar chants of "drill-baby-drill" at numerous rallies recently, how would you ensure that by exploring for and tapping resources of energy in our own country would benefit the American people and that these supplies of energy would not be sold to the highest bidder on the world market? Would you accomplish this through negotiations and contracts with energy companies or do you think tough regulation of our energy sources is necessary to guarantee that our requirements are put above profits?
