Debates: How can we get the right asnwers...

If we can't even ask the right questions? In the upcoming presidential debates the news organizations asking the questions had to agree to ask only questions the candidates agreed to answer in advance. If not the candidates have a right to remove that person from the debate panel and replace them. Even in the 'Town Hall' debate the 'citizens' asking the questions must have them pre-approved. If they deviate from their pre-approved question the moderator will cut them off. I don't know about you but there is a reason I don't go to Political rallies or watch the President's speeches on TV (regardless of who is President), that reason is that it is all pre scripted propaganda. The real person shows through when he is asked a question for which he or she wasn't prepared. Are these candidates so unimaginative or afraid to slip up (or both) that they cannot speak extempoaneously. Must they have all the answers before the questions are asked ( last time I knew someone that prepared they were suspended from high school for cheating ). Let them do what I did in school, study and be ready for any question that may come. If I want something scripted I'll watch a movie or go to the theatre.
