Questions Ron Paul Won't Ask--But Should


How much fun would Ron Paul Supporters have discussing these things?

Mr. Guiliani, McCain, etc, I keep hearing you talking about winning these wars.  You also referenced WWII after I spoke once, Mr. McCain. Since there can be no VJ or VE day in the war on terror, and Iraq already has a government that we aren’t attempting to overthrow, what exactly does it mean to "win" either of these wars, and how will we know when we have?

 

Mr. Romney, I know you did wonderful things in Massachusetts when you were governor.  Much of the progress was due to state initiated programs you and your team proposed and executed.  Did you know that if I were President all of the governors would have more money and autonomy in making decisions that would benefit the residents of their states? How much more good could you have done if your state hadn’t lost $.18 of every dollar that its residents sent to the federal government?

 

Mr. Huckabee, do you realize that if I were President all of the things you listed in your book as important to you would actually happen?  Did you know that there was already a much shorter document written around 220 years ago that would solve these problems if we actually followed it?

 

Mr. Guiliani, I know that you are a baseball fan.  Do you believe that a pitcher who leaves a game in the 3rd inning down by 8 runs should receive credit for the win if his team comes back and claims victory?  Why then do you feel you deserve credit for the rejuvenation of NYC when you left office three months after the September 11th attacks? Weren’t you the one in the game when your team got lit up?

 

Mr. Huckabee, since you are an ordained minister, I know that you, like I, have a high respect for the Bible.  If you were elected  President, before you take office, you would place your hand on the Bible and take an Oath that you will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.  If a Muslim stood outside the White House for a week (while posing no physical threat to you)  exercising his 1st Amendment Right by waving a sign that read: "Jesus was a Queer: Praise Be to Allah", what would you do to stop this blasphemy?

 

Mrs. Clinton, you are a brilliant woman and a brilliant politician.  You took the same Oath of office that I did when you were sworn into the United States Congress.  You had access to the same information I did. I’ve heard you blame the Republicans for providing false information preceding your vote for invading Iraq.  I've also heard you say that you made the best assessment that you could at the time.  This was my best assessment at the time.  Now that we have the power of hindsight, how can you believe that you would be more able to assess the issues facing the United States today and make the proper diagnosis if you were President than I would?

 

My Fellow Americans, isn’t it about time to elect a President who cares more about doing the job of President than being the Most Powerful Person in the World?

What are some questions you would like for Ron Paul to ask?  If you have any good ones, post them below.

This one is for all the flat-earth-foreign-policy candidates.

Q: If they attack us and hate us because of our freedom and democracy, then why are we over there "spreading freedom and democracy"? Mutual job security?

Q: Mr. Guiliani, McCain, etc, you talk about this ememy wanting to "follow us home."  Don't you think that it would be a rather difficult task if our entire armed forces were here at home, protecting our own borders?

A musilm is unlikely to say anything bad about Jesus, since Islam considers him to be one of the prophets..... Just a detail.
