Hudson & Fournier: Catholic Countdown to Election 2012, Day 21. Questions We Wish Romney Would Ask Obama and Vice Versa
liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America - there's the United States of America." You seem to have joined the camp of those who seek to divide us. What is your specific plan to bring us together and help all Americans to rise above their limiting circumstances in the greatest Nation on the earth?
Obama to Romney:
Gov. Romney, while you were leading Bain Capital you practiced your 'turn-around" business style which your campaign now claims will be applied on a national scale to allegedly fix our economic problems if you are elected President. Do you intend to shut down our factories, mills and mines and outsource those millions of jobs overseas on a national scale? You claim to be able to add 12 million new jobs to our economy. Please explain to me and to the American people how anything in your record demonstrates that your promise to add so many jobs is more than just one more empty campaign promise.
Romney to Obama:
Mr. President, your administration has failed to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, a Federal Law, and refuse to enforce it. In fact, you have directed the Justice Department to actively seek to have the Federal Courts set it aside. Over and over again the American people have affirmed that marriage is between one man and one woman and that the two parent marriage bound family is the firm foundation of every civil society. Why do you oppose Marriage and seek to restructure civil society by making other relationships between persons its legal equivalent? Why do you paint all those who defend marriage as against homosexual persons or somehow bigoted because they stand for the institution upon which our society - and other societies - is founded?
Obama to Romney:
Gov. Romney, what do you have against hard working teachers who have formed unions to defend their right to collectively bargain? Why do you favor policies which will have the effect of dismantling or diminishing our public school system, replacing it with privately owned and run schools?
Romney to Obama:
Mr. President, why do you not recognize that parents are the first teachers of their children and the family is the first school house? Why, with all of your talk about concern for poor and middle class families, do you not favor giving them the same choice that you and the First Lady have of sending their children to the school of their own choice?
If the presidential candidates were willing to pose and answer these types of questions, all of us would have a clearer idea of what kind of nation each would have us to become. As you can see, the list could go on. There so many more important questions which really should be asked this evening.

Good questions.
What about a question dealing with the poor both is spirit and physically; many citizens do not eat enough healthy food and do not have a way to get it? (I worked with urban people who did not have access to healthy food supplies.)
The new Chinese Nobel Prize for literature winner, Mo Yan, grew up during one of the greatest human created famines in history. He tells of eating coal as a young boy. Christians could benefit from reflecting on his words. He wrote about his career as a writer: "The act of giving voice to this spiritual suffering is, in my view, the sacred duty of a writer. But for me, writing about the suffering of the soul in no way supplants my concern for the physical agony brought about by hunger."
Is it not also the sacred duty of a Christian?
How about O'Bama's vote in Illinois where babies born alive after an abortion now die cold and alone? Thank God there have been nurses, (who have now quit) who could hold these precious babies while they breathed their first and last.
What happens if Mitt Romney wins? The answer to this question depends almost entirely on a few U. S. Senate elections. Without stronger conservative voices in the Senate, it will be next to impossible to clean up Barack Obama's mess.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't defund Planned Parenthood.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't repeal Obamacare.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't balance the budget.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't secure our borders.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't stop the bailouts.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't confirm good judges.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't enact the pro-growth policies needed to get America back to work.
CHANGING THE SENATE IS ESSENTIAL TO RESTORING AMERICA'S GREATNESS.
The simple fact of the matter is this: a Republican president WITHOUT a conservative Senate is a WASTE of a Republican president. A president can campaign on good policies, but he does not write the bills. As long as liberals are in charge of writing legislation, it will be difficult for a Republican president to sign the right bills into law. Does anyone believe Harry Reid will EVER send a bill to the President's desk to repeal Obamacare? The answer is "NO"!!! Come on my friends, VOTE TO SAVE THE SOUL OF AMERICA. Show God that we are on His side. God bless.
