1. Considering how Iraq has gone so far, do you still think that American military power is a good way to promote tolerance and democracy in the Middle East? Has your position on this changed in any way over the past two years?
It sure worked a hell of a lot better than UN resolutions didn't it? Unlike the majority of Dems who voted for the war, my position hasn't changed.
2. Shortly after 9/11, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson said publicly that they thought the attacks were well-deserved retribution from God in response to moral decay -- as personified by gays, feminists, the ACLU, and NOW. Do you worry that Falwell and Robertson are identified by many as the face of the Republican party? Do you think President Bush has sufficiently distanced himself from them and their followers?
I'll take Falwell and Robertson (You forgot Dr. Dobson) over Jessie Jackass, Al Sharpton, Lewie Farrakhan and the rest of the Laft's so-called men of God, I'll take them over Barbra Streisand, Mickey Moore, Mr. "I'm moving to France" Alec Baldwin and those Hollywood kooks as well, I'll also take them over Left wing groups like PETA, ELF/ALF, NAMBLA too. Apparently the latest elections show that the majority of Americans do as well.
3. Is democracy promotion really one of your core concerns? Just how far are you willing to go to demonstrate your credibility on this subject? Note: President Bush's policy toward either Pakistan or Saudi Arabia would be excellent case studies to bring this question to life.
Democracy is mob rule, the US is a Republic in case you didn't know. I'm not concerned at all with which political philosophy other countries adopt, I am concerned with people trying to make the US adopt those models that obviously aren't working very well for them though and I'm very concerned about religious extremist committing acts of terrorism within our boarders. Perhaps you can go to Iraq and see how many of AlQaeda's people would like to answer your questions peacefully?
4. On a related note, which do you think is more important to the Bush administration in the short term: preservation of a stable oil supply from the Middle East or spreading freedom and liberty throughout the region? Would you be interested in seeing the records of Dick Cheney's 2001 energy task force to verify this? Please be extra honest with this question.
Oh, I'll be extra honest. That question implies the old "we're just there for the oil" mantra like we couldn't have pumped it out if we wanted it back in "91 when we had control of the region had we wanted it or be pulling it out by the tanker now.
That kind of questioning got you guys real far in 02 and 04 elections, keep on with the same gameplane :)
Now for my regular honest answer, both can be attained, it's up to the Iraqi people.
5. A substantial part of the Christian right opposes any compromise with Palestinians because they believe that Jewish domination of the region west of the Jordan River is a precondition for the Second Coming. Is this a reasonable belief? Or do you think these people qualify as loons who should be purged from the Republican party?
Or could it be the Right opposes the Palestinians because they have a tendency to dance in the streets every time a school bus is bombed in their name?
I'll take people who believe and live according to the Bible over people who don't every time.
6. Yes or no: do you think we should invade Iran if it becomes clear -- despite our best efforts -- that they are continuing to build nuclear weapons? If this requires a military draft, would you be in favor?
How bout a "Hell yea" and why are the Dems always trying to start up a draft lately? We have plenty of troops and equipment both east and west of Iran that will be getting freed up soon that we can use if sanctions don't work.
7. If President Bush decides to substantially draw down our troop presence in Iraq after the January 30 elections, will you support that decision? Please answer this question prior to January 30.
No jackass I want more troops there even if the President of the United states doesn't think we need them!
8. Would you agree that people who accept Laurie Mylroie's crackpot theories about Saddam Hussein's involvement in 9/11 might be taking the threat of terrorism a little too seriously? What do you think should be done with them?
I don't know who Laurie Myloroie is but I'll have to check her out and check the evidence for myself.
Gee, the idea that a tyrant who's status in the region, military strength and foreign income were all greatly reduced by the US would align himself with religious fanatic who had the same goal is far fetched nutjob, crackpot, conspiracy theory isn't it?
Now I have a few questions for you (numbered not by question but for easy reference ofcourse):
1. Were the 04 elections stolen or just a solid rejection of liberal philosophy. How about 02? 2000? 98, 96, 94? All of which the Laft has gradually been losing power.
2. Why don't you move to a country that more closely resembles your political beliefs?
3. Do you think the Laft's practice of calling those that voted for Bush stupid is going to get them move votes in 06 or 08?
4. Do you think you think you pay enough in taxes? Did you fill out your last four tax forms according to the rules in which you filed in the 90s because you didn't agree with the Bush tax cuts?
5. How many UN resolutions do you think it will take for Iran to stop building nuclear weapons? Do you think John Kerry's plan to supply the country with nuclear fuel in exchange for a promise not to build weapons would have worked? Didn't Clinton try that with N. Korea?
6. Do you think Hillary will draw more votes than Kerry did? From which groups?
7. If Saddam, bin Laden, Castro, or Kim could vote in US elections would they be Dem or Repub? Why is that?
8. How many times have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11? How many mistruths did you spot? What are they?
We begin today with the only place you're likely to see a Democrat -- a museum.
