My ten questions for the republikkan candidates

[rpannier]

1. Is the continual failure in Iraq the result of the incompetence of the president aided by the toadyism of his party or was this catastrophe pre-planned by the administration in order to secure Iraqi oil?


2. None of you have addressed the issue of health care providers refusing to provide certain types of treatments that the patients' doctors recommend. Is this because a) You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about -- which one can glean from Guliani's idea of tax breaks for health care as the solution, 2) That you have received thousands-to-millions of dollars from the health care lobby, so thet's who you've chosen to be responsive to, 3) You're so removed from the lives of everyday people at the middle-to-lower end of the economic spectrum that you just don't care?

3. Follow up to number 2. In the event you do get elected (God help us all) and you do hock your fantasy health care plan to the public, what are you going to do about health care providers who cut off people because they get too sick and therefore, sut into their billions of dollars in profits. Are you going to do nothing because you are receiving millions in funding from lobbyists or are you going to pretend that isn't a problem (because for you it isn't)?

4. Health Care question again. You say 'Socialized Health Care is bad and provides a lower quality of care and service.' So you're saying that our seniors, service members and their families are receiving piss poor quality of care because they are receiving government provided health care?

5. Follow up to number 4. Why do you hate the troops?

6. Follow up to 4 & 5. Why do you hate seniors so much?

7. The standing of America in the international community has dwindled badly over the past 6 years under the (ahem) leadership of george w. bush to the point where people in countries that have always, for the most part, liked America and Americans don't. Why do you think this has happened and what are you going to do about it? (other than do nothing -- I mean)

8. Many on stage have said they support using torture to get information from a terror suspect. Here's my scenario for you, a small nuclear device has been planted somewhere in NYC. It is set to go off in a matter of a few hours. You have caught the suspect, it's a christian fundamentalist who planted it to protest legalized abortion in NY State (similar to Eric Rudolph at the Olympics). Will you approve using torture to extract information from this religious terrorist in order to save millions of people or not?

9. To all but Ron Paul. Do you support keeping the troops in Iraq because you hate the troops and want to see them dead or because you're afraid that if they came back and told us what was really going on in Iraq, no one with a conscience would ever vote republikkan again?

10. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being an abysmal failure and 10 being a monumental catastrophe, how would rate the situation in Iraq and the effect your being elected would have in exasperating the situation?
