An Interview With Duncan Hunter

[DocRock]

Health care question.... “Lifestyles that are based in moral.... would you support private health care that rewards moral choices?” All green lights

[Eric Blair 2084]

Uh, oh, alcohol, tobacco Bic Mac and obesity nanny state question!

[CounterCounterCulture]

While this is all and good to get people on record, I’d like to hear more from the candidates. Yes-No only goes so far.

[jmyrlefuller]

Would you support autonomy for Iraqi Christians?

Paul no, all others yes.

This is disappointing. These questions are a bit too soft.

[DocRock]

I missed the next question, but it had to do with an Iraqi government question... Only Ron Paul voted against the other candidates

[Eric Blair 2084]

Can somebody please explain the format of this debate? All I hear are inane questions with no answers from the Candidates.

[RatsDawg]

I don’t like this green light red light thing, I wanna hear them talk!

[RatsDawg]

Hunter was a REd light too.

[RasterMaster]

“Speed round”

Yes...green light
No....red light

[DocRock]

I can’t even read the question before they change the screen, much less type it... Sorry folks.

[NautiNurse]

alcohol, tobacco Bic Mac and obesity nanny state question!

All said yes...just as the liberals would answer. Creepy.

[jmyrlefuller]

Right now they’re in the yes/no round. They turn a green light for yes and red light for no.

Would you oppose UN treaties that treat abortion as a human right?

All say yes.

[383rr]

Amen.

[RatsDawg]

Hunter and Paul voted no I think!

[DocRock]

Young girl asking about Tax credit programs to support faith based schools, all green lights.

[jmyrlefuller]

Would you support tax credits for school choice?

All say yes.

“He ran for governor of Alabama last year and lost heavily in the Republican primary.”

I didn’t know that. That’s too bad. Did he run against a pro-life, conservative in the primaries?
