They can't avoid questions forever.

Get to the end-result of their actions.

6.) So, guy has cancer, needs radiation, can't get it, doesn't have insurance. You don't want insurance. Do you let the guy die? Is that your plan?

7.) Why do you worship the jobs' creators, if they're doing such an awful job?

8.) Why do you use one tax, the federal income tax, as the gauge of fairness? Shouldn't it be the amount of income left, after we pay ALL taxes that is the measure of how fair our system is? Doesn't taxing dollars over a certain amount, even if the percentage is really, really high, actually make our system MORE fair?

How do you live with yourself?

They have no conscience. The end justifies the means. Never mind the end itself is unjustifiable.

My favorite. I use it when I hear a co-worker spout the latest phony outrage.

I've never seen a conservative manage to become genuinely angry about anything. They'll scream and shout, and some will even hop up and down. but they don't actually have anger. Anger is the result of injustice, and the Republicans have had their asses polished for so long, they have no idea what that's like.

No, what they have is hate. Hate can look like anger, but it's not. They do not want justice, they have no wrongs begging to be righted. They just want to spread spite and cause harm to others.

Rage is what happens when you read of two teenagers being murdered for loving each other. Rage is what happens when you hear of a Korean War vet starving to death on the street. Rage is what's left when you see the world you're set to inherit is a wasteland. Rage is when your friend's mother dies from treatable cancer for lack of money, but there's plenty of money to kill Arabs with. Rage is when you work yourself ragged, and your bank account only ever moves backwards. Rage is what happens when you have to choose between feeding your children and keeping a roof over their head.

They don't know what rage is.

Those things don't cause rage in a soulless, conservative brain. What they have is misguided rage based on whatever phony outrage they have been spoon-fed that particular week. It's a self-serving rage that begins as hatred. Then all it takes is for the spin merchants to just poke the soulless conservative with a hot stick and see what happens.

Good one

"How do you sleep at night?"
"On a pile of money with many beautiful ladies."
"Yeesh!!!"

"Mr. Romney, what would you do if you discovered you were pregnant and could not proceed with the pregnancy?"

There's absolutely no way R-money, or any right-winger, could answer that question without looking like a complete fool.

I'd love to see you put together five abortion related questions for Republicans

I noticed someone had mentioned abortion, so I thought it was fair game.

I don't think MrScorpio was suggesting otherwise. It would be great if someone asked him that.

(though he denies it), rightwing, christian, conservative small business owning family friend. During our family outings, we inevitably stumble into political decisions ... he HATES the government, especially the Federal government (even though 90% of his business can be traced to Stimulus dollars) and he HATES, HATES, HATES President Obama.

My friend's most frequent complaints are the typical fox-fare ... taxes are too high, there are too many regulations and there is too much "economic uncertainty", these three things all combine to stop businesses from job creating.

My stock responses are to ask: "Name one regulation that has prevented you from hiring the workers you need to complete a job? What level of tax cuts would encourage you to hire someone when you don't have the jobs to keep your current crew busy? And, wouldn't that economic uncertainty be resolved if the gop would just gave President Obama everything he wants ... Wouldn't you be able to plan knowing that this policy or that policy was going to go into effect, whether you agree with the policy or not?"

This usually results in a story about some local government bureaucrat that held his company to the precise letter of some obscure regulation. Though I suspect that the stories are either, untrue, or more likely the bureaucrats response to my friend's "I'm soooo much smarter than you, you lowly government worker" attitude, I just remind him that he still hasn't answered the job creation question.

That usually results in his telling more stories, more loudly.

I have concluded that critical thinking skills are far less important to the operation of a small business than a marketable skill and self-delusion.

I've become more and more convinced that the real problem is the Black Guy in the White House, whether they even realize this about themselves or not.

House. After Clinton, they never expected to see another Democrat win the Presidency.

POTUS notches up the threat/fear/hatred level to Red Alert.

I imagine that if the Rs accused President Obama of being a drug dealer, and having someone killed, it would be immediately assumed because he is black.

Except of course, as you know, they did this to Bill Clinton.

People forget how dreadfully mean they were to him. How mean they were to Hillary and Chelsea.

They spent tens of millions and countless time and energy investigating him, until they dug up Lewinski - basically it was 7 years of this Fast and Furious BS. Jesus, the investigated the darn pet cat's fan mail and christmas lists, and that is not a lie.

This is what they do - if it were Al Gore, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton, it would not matter.

In fact, part of why I supposed President Obama, is that he is such a nice and exceptionally cool guy, that I held out hope they would not be as nuts as they normally would be, but alas, they are ...

I have a saying:
He who chooses to bury head in the sand,
presents ass to the world.

It is hard to see data, fact or logic when ones head is buried in the sand....and yet those who bury their head in the sand are quite sure of their....um...position...just ask them and sure enough, they will proudly show off their ass!

You win a prize for the correct answer.

Went to public university, has a master's degree in education, works as a heath teacher in a public school, belongs to the teacher's union, and makes six figures a year.

He graduated in about 1980, so you know his higher education was damn cheap.

Seriously.

for a moderator to ask:

"Do you agree or disagree with the proposition that consumer demand is driver of economic growth?"

"If so, and as a business man, would you prefer 100, $1,000 purchases of consumer goods, or 1, $100,000 purchase of a luxury product?"

Why is it that republican pants are always on fire?

this is great!!! i love this . when i get new print heads for my printer , i am going to have this put on a 3x5 card. i love it when these folk bob and weave , duck behind the bilbe ,and then the constitution . then start being a bully also love it when repubs go sputter sputt sput !thanks for this thread

when it's a much better return on investment simply to give the money to Republicans for yet another tax cut?

If tax cuts for the highest earners actually worked, shouldn't the Bush tax cuts have inaugerated a new golden age of economic stability, security and growth?

Why cut taxes for people who have already arrived? What they do with their money is to give it to smart folks on Wall Street who shuffle it around so that it makes more money without actually contributing to the real economy.

If the economy is so bad, why are corporate profits and balance sheets the best in history?

If corporate profits and balance sheets the best in history, why don't they hire people?

how come the debt ONLY GOES DOWN UNDER DEMOCRATS?

hell, whenever do republikans PAY FOR ANYTHING?

which is like promoting the tooth fairy.

Just saying!

How many women have you gotten pregnant in your life that you forced to have an abortion?

Why do you believe that America is no longer capable of great achievements?


(Today's Republicans would have blocked the Empire State Building, the Hoover Dam, the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, rural electrification, landing on the moon, etc. etc.)

There's no way they can honestly answer those questions without admitting their contempt for the working class.

I don't suspect I'll get a logical or even a competent answer, but it's fun to ask.

Joseph Stiglitz kind of put in layman's terms why tax cuts are their canard du jour . . . any wealthy person with wealth will gravitate their assets to where they AREN'T taxed, whether it's Profit over hiring or short-term speculation as opposed to long-term growth.

Repub investors/businesspeople are all about "rent-seeking" activity because they're encouraged to be. With regulation whittled and Top Marginal Tax Rates at constant 75+ year lows, they're not going to invest in their businesses. They're making a profit without those pesky "hiring" or "putting the wealth back in their businesses" things, and they can sell this sham to the useful idiots they're firing by making them sniff Horatio Alger Cocaine. It's FLAWLESS!

want to adopt them?

If the adoption of wage-lowering, anti-union, let's-send-jobs-to-foreign-countries "free-trade" agreements is not good for the American working class, why should any person other than a Republican be in favor of adopting so-called "free-trade" agreements?

1994 - North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
2001 - Jordan – United States Free Trade Agreement
2004 - Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement
2004 - Chile - United States Free Trade Agreement
2004 - Singapore – United States Free Trade Agreement
2006 - Bahrain – United States Free Trade Agreement
2006 - Morocco - United States Free Trade Agreement
2006 - Oman – United States Free Trade Agreement
2007 - Peru – United States Trade Promotion Agreement
2005 - Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA; incl. Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic)
2011 - Panama - United States Trade Promotion Agreement
2011 - Colombia - United States Trade Promotion Agreement
2011 - Republic of Korea (South Korea) - United States Free Trade Agreement

If you haven't heard about the ongoing work re the Trans-Pac FTA, which some are calling NAFTA on steroids, it may because it's not going to be good for you. Again, why should any person other than a Republican favor this?

There have been many rounds of tax cuts for the rich, which you all say are supposed to create jobs. So why is unemployment high now?

with my 85 year old EXTREMELY right wing dad, I keep thinking I want to ask him:

If you could only see one these two before you die, would you rather see

1) An end to my right to social security

or

2) An end to my right to medicare.

He spends so much time listening to faux, rush, etc. He sends money to all of the teabaggers that ask for it, and for what? To make life better for his children/grandchildren? He relies on the the government programs that he is fighting to relieve us of. Its just crazy.

social security or medicare. they are government programs and government is bad.

why do they keep running for office?

Anyone in Big Media asking ANY of these questions would be out of a job the next day, and either Rather'd or Wellstone'd the following week

which reminds me of a time when Bush was being given a briefing by Rumsfeld who said: "3 Brazilian soldiers died today."
Bush looked shocked and said My Gawd, that's terrible." Rumsfeld looked confused: "What's the matter sir?"
Bush asked "How many in a Brazillion?"

After all, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice ... uh ...uh ...you can't be fooled again.

Next question.

Why did you candidate spend two years in France trying to convert Catholics to Mormonism.
Wouldn't that be an infringement on THEIR religion for you to consider inferior to your own?

Hey! I had post 50 which kicked this up for another arrow....do I win a prize?

1. As a businessman, do you believe it is the primary duty of a CEO to minimize expenses and maximize profits?

(You will almost always get an enthusiastic "YES!&quot


2. Do you agree that payroll and related costs are among the greatest expenses faced by most businesses?

(They can't deny it, but the "Yes" is not so enthusiastic...)


3. So would you then say that the preferred method for reducing payroll expenses is to A) move high paying positions to a lower wage job market, B) reduce overall employee headcount, or C) some combination of A and B?

(And let the backpedaling commence!)

Why do you hate America so much? Apparently roads, bridges, firefighters, teachers, and police officers are all bad things that waste YOUR precious money.

Why did you break your campaign promise to create jobs?

Since absolutely none of you are racist in any way, why is it that every single policy y'all push disproportionately hurts minorities?

Since you're so opposed to taxes of any kind, why are taxes that hurt the poor and middle class generally higher in states y'all run? Also, why is the infrastructure those taxes are supposed to fund so poorly maintained?

Why do the "FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!!" frenzies you work yourselves into never include anything that would have helped a single child in the past, present, or future?

Given current wealth distribution in the United States and your position on taxing the wealthy, exactly what percentage of the wealth should the top 1% have before it becomes enough?

What laws of physics are you breaking to suck so much without spontaneously imploding?

that is why they are not asked. It's pretty simple. I do not even need to write the answers for you. You already know them anyway too. They don't care about your 5 questions. They already know the answers. Why are they going to tell you? They don't care if you know them or not. It is pretty simple.





CALL IT WHAT IT IS. TYRANNY.... NOW GO SHOP....THEY HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU TO DO THIS ONCE BEFORE. LISTEN TO THEM.









Meanwhile....The progression continues....

just sayin'

You can't ask any of them anything; you don't have enough money to bribe them with.

Besides, American politics does not requires logic or reason. They simply repeat their lies until they become " the truth ". Either the American people are very gullible or the System is corrupt.
Probably both.

they said that consuming big amounts of high fructose corn syrup can impair a person's memory.

Perhaps this could have something to do with America continuing to elect Republican degenerates for office?

number 50. The big question I always wanted to see someone ask a republican or democrat.
What have the republicans policies ever done for the betterment of America and the American People?

There are a few who have some twisted rationale thinking more billionaires will make the country stronger.

But most are just followers, who buy into anything as long it supports their party of racists, war mongers, and the bottom 50% of our classes.
