QUESTIONS for Presidential candidates, REPORTERS DON'T ASK, but TED NUGENT does!  email this discussion to a friend?

Yes, it is true.

Reporters are too timid to ask some of the most important questions to the Presidential candidates. Here's a bunch of 'em.

http://www.wacotrib.com/n...

What are your favorite questions? How do you think either candidate might answer any of them? What is your own question most reporters won't ask?

Some great questions from a real man Ted Nugent. I liked the question One-third of Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week. Over 80 percent of Americans have shopped at a Wal-Mart in the last year. When was the last time you shopped at Wal-Mart? This question is better than the old what is the price of bread and milk.
I would like to ask if the candidates really think that it would be a good idea for America to become Balkanised. How will America fare where other countries have fallen do to having multiple national loyalties? How will America fare where other countries have fallen do to having no common langauge?


myLot reputation of 42/100. redyellowblackdog (4040)  4 years ago

Your questions are good ones. I particularily would like to see Obama answer them.


myLot reputation of 63/100. lvaldean (937)  4 years ago

Wonder why you think Obama should answer these questions and not McCain? I believe both of them should answer them, albeit for different reasons.

Cindy McCain is a trust fund baby who has never known a difficult financial moment in her entire life. She has never been poor. She has never struggled. John McCain has benefited signficantly through her. I would bet my last dollar, of which there aren't many right now thanks to the economy, that neither of them have ever seen the inside of the WalMart.

Both Michelle and Barak worked hard to get where they are. Neither came from wealth. Neither even came from true middle class. Michelle still buys off the rack for most of her clothing. I am guessing that both have seen the inside of a WalMart within the past 5 years, at a minimum.

As for the issue of Balkanization, what makes Obama different from McCain on this issue?

Not innuendo and rumor mind you. I am asking what makes him different as to his stand on the issues.


myLot reputation of 42/100. redyellowblackdog (4040)  4 years ago

I would like to see Obama answer them in particular because I have a better feel for how McCain would answer them.

As to the financial backgrounds of the Obamas vs the McCains, I find the question to be irrelavent and meaningless as to the Presidential election.

Okay what about my favorite question to Barack Hussein Owwwbama : "Are you sure you're an American citizen? Wouldyou subject yourself to a lie-detector test to prove that?"


myLot reputation of 42/100. redyellowblackdog (4040)  4 years ago

Not a bad question. I'll bet they'll never let you ask that one if they have any clue it is what you are going to say.

Great questions actually. I like most of them, but since I have favorite issues I guess I will just pick on a few.

1. Name three specific agencies or departments of the federal government that could be drastically reduced or eliminated, now name five more. (love this best)

I would like to see both candidates answer this one. Don't think I know what either would say. I think my concern with Obama is that many of his plans call for an increase in government. My concern with McCain is that he hasn't thought far enough ahead to consider what needs to be done on many issues.

2. Do you believe the average American is taxed too much, not enough, or just about right?

Again I would like both candidates to answer in detail. The have to a certain extent already but I would really like to see their fiscal plan. Obama has said that those below $100K are taxed to much, I agree. He has said that those above $150K are taxed to little, I think that there is some question on this one but for the most part again I agree. Certainly once we hit the $200K mark there is the idea that there is not enough tax paid. McCain wants to make permanent the tax breaks for the wealthy, I have issues with this one as they don't need them. But maybe I am missing something.

3. Do you believe that the answer to a better education system is to spend more money and make children take more tests? (pet peeve of mine)

Want both candidates to answer. I don't think either candidate has the answer or has considered just how broken our current public education system is today, but sure would like to hear their thoughts.

4. Why do you believe that the history of war and the study of the US Constitution are basically ignored in our schools, as well as, taxes and the Internal Revenue Service.

See 3 above.

5. America is $9 Trillion in debt, does this concern you and if it does what will you specifically do to work toward eliminating this debt and shaving the flagrant waste and corruption of out-of-control bureaucracies?

Love this one and would like to see the answer from both candidates. Don't think that either have a firm plan in place yet.


myLot reputation of 42/100. redyellowblackdog (4040)  4 years ago

I love it when we agree. To bad actual reporters don't ask these questions.


myLot reputation of 63/100. lvaldean (937)  4 years ago

You never know maybe someone will. The actual contest is only going to get rolling after the conventions. Right now they are somewhat just having some fun.


myLot reputation of 63/100. lvaldean (937)  4 years ago

Oh I did like the Animal Rights one to but not for the BBQ recipe. I love my Mink coat - love wearing it. Think that the only good mink is one that hangs in my closet!

Hate PETA with a passion!

Hate those idiots that think owls should be saved at the cost of jobs.

Hate those fools who would throw paint my property simply to make a point. I once told a woman that I would gladly dress her out and wear her if she thought about tossing that can on my $17K coat. She quickly reconsidered her position. Ijit!


myLot reputation of 42/100. redyellowblackdog (4040)  4 years ago

I sure would have liked to have heard you tell off the animal activist. That would have been priceless.


myLot reputation of 63/100. lvaldean (937)  4 years ago

The look on her face was rather funny. Seattle is a strange place. The wear shorts and earth shoes when it is below sixty degrees. They have no respect for other peoples property. That particular woman thought that she had some sort of mission to help me see the error of my ways.....I thought it was my duty to explain to her the error of hers in no uncertain terms when I was done I think she figured out that messing with women in Mink coats and red cowboy boots was just simply a bad idea!


myLot reputation of 42/100. redyellowblackdog (4040)  4 years ago

I lived near Tacoma for 3 years in the 70's. I've got a slight idea of what you mean.


myLot reputation of 63/100. lvaldean (937)  4 years ago

Thank you by the way.

These are some very good questions, and they deserve some answers.

I have a feeling that they will not be forthcoming however.


myLot reputation of 42/100. redyellowblackdog (4040)  4 years ago

Unfortunately reporters don't ask the questions people want to hear.
