Calling All Freepers: What Questions Should I Ask at Democrat Debate?
n/a

Posted on 06/26/2007 10:33:23 AM PDT by RatherBiased.com

Hi everyone. I have been granted press access as a blogger at Thursday's Democrat debate. As such, I will have full access to the candidates who appear as well as their staffs.

What questions would you like me to ask them or the media?

Thanks,

Matthew Sheffield

Ask them if they think the far left has taken over the Democrat party, and if so, what do they plan to do about it?

What is the difference between a human fetus and a human baby one second old?

It's not as cut and dried as the US policy for Cuban immigrants (wet/dry foot).

A premature baby isn't called a fetus when it is out of the womb but a partially delivered infant isn't a baby if you spike the head and suck the brains out as in partial birth abortion.

1. Why do you Democrats support giving Amnesty to 20 million illegals who broke the law. And why do you support allowing these illegals to bring their families to the U.S.A so that they can turn the U.S. into a 3rd world socialist hell hole?

2. Why do you Democrats support big government solutions (socialism) which has never worked and which will lead to a totalitarian state and bread lines.

3. Why do you Democrats think that the government should be doing the thousands of things they are doing while the government can’t even get the basics right like : Government has not been able to stop crime but has increased it,government has not been able to stop illegals from invading the U.S., government is losing a foreign war because they want to fight a PC war?

4. Why do you Democrats think that the 2.9 trillion dollar annual federal budget is too low and that all the hundreds of taxes we pay is not enough?

5. Why do you democrats want to show your true stalinist colors by censoring talk radio and imposing government socialist health care on America?

Why do democrats/liberals believe all this and more lunacy? because they are socialist/Marxist cult.

You’re more likely to find a Democrat politician who can quote the Bible accurately than a Democrat politician who can accurately quote the Constitution.

Good luck finding EITHER.

Unfortunately, the same can be said for most republicans as well.

Do they believe in the concept of ‘original intent’ in regard to constitutional law? And if the answer is yes, do they know that the author of the 14th Amendment to the US constitution specifically stated that its intent was NOT to grant citizenship to the offspring of foreigners in the US? And are they willing to apply original intent in regards to illegals bearing children who are given citizenship rights even though under original intent they are not entitled to citizenship rights?

If we pull out of Iraq, how many troops should remain... if any?

If a Dim is elected President and they do remove all troops, the resulting humanitarian catastrophe will be on their head.

Since you turn a blind eye towards immigration laws, which other laws do you think could/should be ignored? If it comes down to a moral question, whose morals dictate which laws are to be followed and which can be ignored?

Yeah.....ask them if they want a person for President that is a proven socialist. Do they believe that socialism is good for this country and should a card carrying communist declare their beliefs about communism if they are running for President?

If pulling US troops out of Iraq would lead to peace, would pulling US troops out of Korea also bring about peace?

A couple for Hillary Clinton: “You have complained about the communist Chinese government financing America’s budget deficits during the Bush administration, do you think you are being hypocritical when the Chinese communists helped finance the 1996 Democrat campaign through friends of yours like Johnny Chung, John Huang and Charlie Trie?”

“You have said several times that you will take things away from people on behalf of the common good. What do mean by that and does it concern you that you may turn off voters wary of how Marxist that sounds?”

For Barack Obama: “According to The Hill newspaper, there is talk in Congress by Iraq war opponents of pulling the troops out of Afghanistan. As one who opposed the Iraq war, would you consider pulling our troops out of Afghanistan if conditions remain the same there in 2009?”

Two for any candidate: “Russia and China have been working to establish military and economic relations in South America that run counter to American interests. Most notably, Russia is arming Venezualan dictator Hugo Chavez. Are you concerned and if so what would you do to preserve American interests in South America?”

“Ethanol. There are concerns that the increased use of ethanol will drive up food prices. Are you aware of those concerns and do you have any proposals to balance our needs for clean energy and cheap food?”

Which is a greater imminent threat to the United States - global warming or radical Islam?

If the dems say the “bumper sticker” WOT, they lose with the green voters. If they say the cyclic increase in temperature which may or may not be to do humans and will not have any major effect for decades to come, they will lose with most rational Americans who realize the next 9/11 is around the corner.

Congress has spent many billions of dollars on Head Start, and some of the Democratic candidates have called for universal pre-school. Thinking only of the educational components of Head Start, do you see evidence that the billions of dollars spent have yielded benefits that justify continued expansion of it or similar programs, and if so, what are they?

[Ask about how they feel about Iraq.]

They'll mention "so many" U.S. deaths in Iraq.

[Ask them specific questions about the number of American deaths in the Civil War and all other wars. Also quiz them on the number of peacetime deaths our forces suffered twenty years ago. If they fail to give a number as their answer, hold them to it. Ask them how many service people we lost during Clinton's presidency. Don't let them dodge, hold them to giving a NUMBER to all the numbers lost in each of these instances.]

Ask them specific, factual questions about the history of Iraq, Sunni vs. Shiite, Wahabbism in American mosques, CAIR vs. John Does, the Hezbollah smuggling ring broken up and reported by Robert Mueller last year, etc.

Why should we flee a “civil war” we may have created in Iraq, but yet rush to intervene in a clear civil war that has nothing to do with us in Dafur?

I'm not sure how your statement relates to my post. He's soliciting for questions to ask the Dim Pres Candidates. Let them give a clear answer to the question I posited.

BTW U.S. Troops were pulled of Korea, with a small force (50k) remaining to help protect the DMZ.

Followup to response: do these benefits last into adulthood, or are they transient—subject to what has been called fade-out?
