I have one. Why does the Obama Administration keep lying to the Public about the terrorist attack in Libya. AND why did they change the jobs number this week (-FACT CHECK: LABOR SECRETARY SOLIS MISLEADS ON JOBS REVISIONS) Why did they tell the defense industry not to give people lay off notices before the election (even though it is against the law) and then offer tax payer money to defend them if they get sued? How can we believe anything they ever say? And Also ask where the under 200.00 foreign donations are coming from -they can't be tracked.

Mr Romney exactly what prompted you to do a 180 turn from supporting women and gay rights, to being anti women and anti gay?

Given the historical behavior of many middle eastern countries, it seems their culture is not ready for democracy as we know it. Tribal and family alliances always win out. It seems the only stable Arab countries are ones with "iron fisted" rulers. Understanding this may be why the Soviet Union had so many allies in the region. Do we have any idea of what we are doing? And please, don't just blame this on George!

I think we can all concede that we have a very divided country based on the polls and recent elections. However, it is not out of the realm of possibilities that one of the parties may win not only the Presidency but both the Honse and the Senate. In the past when this has happened the party in power tends to act as if they have a "super mandate" to pass laws that are abhorrent to the other half of the country. What would you do if you are elected and have your party in the majority of Congress to prevent this from happening?

I have a questin for Mitt Romney:
You have said that you would label China a currency manipulator your first day in office. However, the Speaker of the House, Republican John Boehner, killed a bill that would have done exactly what you suggest. How will you bring other Republicans, who appear to be against the idea of labeling China a currency manipulator, on board? Aaron Browne

I have a question for Gov Romney
You have said many times how upset you are regarding the last 4 years under Pre Obama. I have a simple question......What about the 8 years of Pres G Bush, setting the stage for the current economic crisis that has impacted the middle class. How do you just disregard his negative impact and blame the current President for not being able to clean up the mess in 4 years. Can you explain that to me and the rest of the the country?

I would ask Mitt Romney:
"Mr. Romney, why did you lie in the first debate about 3-4 times more often than President Obama. Fact checkers and leading media outlets like the Associated Press have shown you lied at least 27 times in the 38 minutes you spoke. You told blatant inaccuracies about your healthcare plan, about unemployment figures and other topics. I thought the Republican Party was the party of integrity. With all of your lying, how can American voters expect you to tell the truth with your promises to them -- should you win the election? "

There are only two ways to reduce the deficit and national debt. Either revenue increases or spending cuts. If you had to make the choice between raising taxes or cutting Social Security/Medicare (which are the biggest obligations of the budget), which would you do?
