Questions for the candidates --- Post yours!

[Meldread]

If you could ask one candidate a question on any topic what would it be? Pick a candidate and then state your question. I am sure each of us has at least one burning question we'd like to put to one of them.

Here is mine.

Candidate: Senator Hillary Clinton
Question: "I have a comment, a question and depending on your answer a follow up. First my comment. I would like to thank you for the work you've done for most of your professional life, championing the cause of women throughout the country. You have been a strong voice on the human rights of women and children, and like you I am waging a similar battle. My human rights are under direct assault. As a Gay American I would like to ask you a simple yes or no question. If you are elected president, will you stand up for my human rights?"

If she attempts to be evasive or not answer directly, I would interrupt and remind her that I asked a simple yes or no question, and point out that I have a follow up depending on the answer. I want a yes or no to come from her lips. If she says no then I have no need for a follow up. If she says yes, then I will ask the following.

Follow-up: "Thank you, now I have my follow up. Your husband signed into law two pieces of legislation that were designed to make me a second class citizen. He informed John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election that he should campaign against my human rights. If you become President of the United States, will you repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act? Will you repeal these pieces of legislation that your husband signed into law? This is also a simple yes or no question."

After that, I'd have all I need to make up my mind about Hillary Clinton. I am sure we all have similar questions we'd like to ask the candidates, what's yours?
