Five Questions for John Kerry
1. You know the French don't vote in US elections, don't you? They are not a voting constituency here. Even if you shove pass Motor Voter down everyone's throats in all fifty states, the French still won't vote in US elections.
2. Do you really think that teachers' unions and trial lawyers and government programs are what made this country great?
3. Before actual American, not French voters go to into the booths, are there any actual issues you'd like to bring up? I know, I know: you're easily the weakest Democratic candidate for president of lifetime (and yes, I remember Mondale and Dukakis), but even so, "I was in Vietnam" and "I hate George Bush too!" aren't issues. They're not policy prescriptions or positions. They're not even bumper sticker slogans.
4. Hey, bet you're real glad you made such an issue of your Vietnam thing, aren't you?
5. You know the French don't vote in US elections, don't you?
Five Questions for George Bush
1. "Ownership society?" "Ownership?" How will anyone be said to own anything with all the debt and expenditure and deficits you've racked up? Who is ever going to believe you and your party, ever again, about smaller government, lower government expenditures, no "nation-building," a presumption in favor of local and state government over crushing federalization? Anyone? Bueller?
2. In light of the above, are you proud of being the first president since John Adams to veto no legislation during your entire term? You signed the McCain-Feingold legislation with a smile on your face, even as you opined that it was probably unconstitutional. The only thing you've threatened to veto is a repeal of the prescription drugs swindle "benefit."
3. If the entire country is so much safer now than it was, why do we need to extend the PATRIOT Act?
4. Can you take a break from being the Moralizer-in-Chief? The office you occupy, and to which you'd presumably like to be re-elected, is that of President of the United States, not Associate Pastor of the North Shore Presbyterian Church.
5. "Free speech zones?" Zones?!
Five Questions for Michael Badnarik
1. Hello? Earth to Libertarians? Is anyone there? Oh. Good. I guess.
2. So far the strong anti-war candidate of this election season was Howard Dean. How on earth did you guys let that happen? Is it possible that you guys are doing something wrong?
3. Bet you're real proud of that "blow up the UN Building" comment, aren't you? And of the statement released by your campaign: that you were just joshin'. Yeah, you guys really intend to be taken seriously.
4. You've stated that, once elected
5. Hello? Earth to Libertarians? Is anyone there?
