September is a crowded debate month for the 2012 Republican candidates. On September 22nd, the candidates will meet in a match up sponsored by Fox News, Google and the Florida Republican Party. This debate will be a similar format to the "CNN/YouTube" debate we witnessed during the 2008 elections where candidates took questions from citizens via video.
Air Date: Thursday, September 22nd at 9pm EST on Fox News
Submit Questions: Fox News/Google Debate
Report from Lost Remote:
Fox News and Google will host a September 22nd debate with questions submitted by voters on YouTube. There are some other interesting Google elements, as well: voters will be encouraged to vote up or down their favorite questions using Google Moderator. “Many of the top-voted [questions] will be put straight to the candidates to answer,” explains Google’s Steve Grove on the company blog.
That has to be the first time I’ve seen any TV connection to Google Moderator, and Google also says it plans to wrap in its public data and search trends on air “to give greater context to the questions,” explains Grove. “The result—an informative dialogue about the future of our country centered on the issues you care most about.”
“For access to news and information, it’s hard to imagine two more powerful brands than Fox News and Google,” said Fox’s Michael Clemente. “The strength and reach of both should ensure a thorough and engaging debate that anyone can participate in.”
Fox News’ YouTube channel is accepting questions now. The debate will air — and stream live on YouTube and FoxNews.com — on Sept. 22 from 9:00-11:00 p.m. ET.
This format has some advantages such as the entertainment value, however, there was a lot of silly questions via YouTube back in 2008, lets hope this time around yields some better results.

To All Cabdidates – Name a major issue not discussed you feel deserves the public's attention?
The next president likely will not have a filibuster proof Senate and a majority in the House of Representatives in his favor. There are a number of steps that can be taken to help the economy, but in order of most to least important what are the three most important actions the next president can take to most dramatically improve the unemployment rate and how do you think each will contribute to that result?
Mr Kain – Solution to our unemployment and energy independence – Give loans to GM, Ford and Chrysler in return for stock or options. They start by building fuel effient vehicles hybrids and electric Jeeps, buses, trucks, locomotives etc. the armed forces could be their first customers.
My question to all the candidates is "Manufacturing has been a vital part of the economic success of the United States yet continues to deteriorate to its current sad state of just 12% of GDP. Part of the reason is our balance of trade deficit. We import by a ratio of 5 to 1 more than we export. The biggest importer is China, a communist country, who is also our largest creditor. If you were president what would you do to increase manufacturing in the United States."
Why isn’t consideration being considered in undoing the government unified budget which was adopted by the Johnson Administration in 1968. This change resulted in a single measure of the fiscal status of the government, based on the sum of all government activity. The surplus in Social Security trust funds offsets the total debt, making it appear much smaller than it otherwise would. What the Johnson Administration did was allow the Federal government to go deeper in debt without being challenged.
I would like to hear each candidate opinion on the consideration which would include recreating the separate and fenced Social Security Program combined with increase in the maximum upper limit dollar amount to which payments for the fund would be taken. This would allow the fund to grow over time and become more solvent rather than be continuous support the overall Federal Budget. To provide for growth from the fund surplus a percentage of the funds would be placed in the hands of investments firm would receive payment for their service based upon fund performance. This approach would provide for an addition revenue source in addition to incoming taxes. Another consideration to enhance revenue for Social Secuirty would the implementation for a National Lottery with 50% of the funds being deposited into the Social Security Program
The legislation which would change the Social Security Program must be written to preclude and prevent any further effort to recreate the unified budget. This would insure Social Security Funding for many years to come.
Do you believe in Term limit for all elected officials, the removal of the current foolish retirement and pension plans (according to most it is the retirement and pension plans that are bankrupting everything) and if convicted of a felony all benefits are lost for elected officials?
Frankly I wish someone would ask a 'SPECIFIC' question regarding what is considered to be a FAIR SHARE. There have been countless speeches by politicians, and comments by the talking heads on the media and yet noone has yet definied what a 'FAIR SHARE' actually is.
I personally don't consider a TAX SYSTEM fair, where 30% of the population pays 90% of the taxes. With that in mind….what kind of tax system would the candidates envision or favor that would be FAIR, and state publicly what the ACTUAL barriers are to making the change to that type of tax system. Bet they all have too many lobbyists already lined up that would refuse to embrace such a change.
Question for Rick Perry – You said during the last debate that you favored in state tuition for illegal immigrants and cited the basis as it wasn't THEIR fault that they had been born here or brought here by a parent that came into this country illegally.
1) What other social, medical and educational grants and benefits would you favor for those in this country that are non-citizens and
2) Would you also support and favor these same benefit programs and in-state tuition for students who were residents and citizens from other States?
Question for Newt Gingrich. You voted to establish the dept of education. You supported the WTO. You supported more excecutive powers during the Clinton years even wanting more troops in Bosnia. Why should I as a libertarian support you?
1. Is mass media the reason the market is on a weekly swing? Does mass media's hourly reporting cause people and investors to panic?
2. I live on the border where there's always been high unemployment, but the jobs that are here are illegal(drugs and guns). It seems that drugs and guns are the only thing making money. My question is to Perry, " Are drugs and guns the modern day gold rush?"
3. In todays business there are so many obstacles and regulations that some businesses break even before they get started. The only people that can start a business are corporations. And when someone cant start a business because it will cost millions of dollars, that to me is not the American Dream. My question is, "Has Capitalism turned into a Ponzi scheme?(The rich keep getting richer)"
To Rick Santurom. I recently googled you to learn more. The first result I got was a crude sexual definiton. Why?
I would like to know where the candidates stand on the Patriot Act, and their view of it's constitutional implications. Bachman and Santorum have actually voted in the positive on related bills. Most of the field is unclear on this Constitutional issue.
Fox states they have adopted the moro, "fair and balanced". Please prove this to the American public by letting us know how many questions have been written for each candidate and at the end of the debate please ask the candidates if they believe the debate was in fact "fair and balanced". Thank you.
