This needs to stay FRONT PAGE!! WOW!!
Submitted by takeaction on Fri, 11/23/2007 - 03:46Oh boy.....do we have some ammunition brewing. I stumbled upon this site in NH and they are going to expose them all. This is the site that needs to be bookmarked. All Candidates are required to answer a set of questions...
RON PAUL is the first and only one so far, but all candidates will have to answer these questions.
To view the Questions...And they are Tough....for each candidate, just "Right Click" over the "Current Candidate Ads" and "Open in New Window".
These questions had my mouth on the floor....especially Rudy and Hillarys. These questions are asked in such a way that will allow the NH voters to see the truth. Also these questions are designed by the people, for the people, so NOBODY can dance around them.
This is a must see, and must be kept up front, because these answers are going to be great.
READ RON PAULS ANSWERS!!! WOW!!
Here it is...Have fun
Also, if no other candidate answers the questions put forth, I would use that to our advantage also....Why is Ron Paul the only one answering these questions???
Not the same questions
Correct me if I am wrong, but it doesn't look like all of the candidates are being asked the same questions. One of the things that frustrates me about the "debates" and forums like this one is that we have no good way to compare the candidates. Contrast this with the All American Presidential Forum where they asked all of the candidates the same question. This allowed you to compare and contrast the responses to really get a good feel for where everyone stood. In addition, the questions were very interesting and penetrating. Unfortunately, none of the "front-runners" saw fit to participate.
What I would really like to see is a good list of good solid questions that are asked of each and every candidate. For example:
In order for questions to the candidates to be useful in making a decision, you need to ask each and every candidate the same questions. Of course, for those of us here, we have already made our decision, but for those who are still undecided or not completely convinced, such a process would help their decision making process considerably.
Only ONE
Ron Paul is the only one that will answer the questions! I can not believe it??
what is the viewership...
...of this organization?
i applaud them, but will they be viewed by those that vote?
HA-HA-HA-HA Ron Paul Will Be The Only One To Answer
Out, out damned spot. [Out, out damned Consitution.] None, and I mean none of the other candidates would dare answer these questions, because it would show them all to be socialists who would never follow the Constitution.
I had to laugh, as RP is such an expert on the Consitution that in a couple of cases he "corrected" the questions in his answer, ha!

If so, that is a pitch point
If so, that is a pitch point for us, but wont do much to legitimize the process.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

Hmmm
I'd like to know why all the others have STR ratings of 5 stars when they've not even answered yet, and Ron Paul has NONE? Someone please write to them and post back here?
RP Gives Real Answers
Ron Paul is the only one who's answered because he's the only candidate with any courage. The other guys aren't smart enough to give intelligent, thought out answers to those kinds of questions...and even if they did, thier handlers wouldn't allow it. I agree, this needs to be front page every day.

RP can knock these outta the park
Without even reading Ron Paul's responses to these questions, I know most of the answers because the founding fathers have given them to us.
Five out of the six questions are softballs pitched to a batter whose answer is "the Constitution of the U.S.A.!"
The sixth, about revealing the identity of a CIA agent, is the only question requiring thought.
On the one hand, most of the functions of the CIA outside intelligence are extralegal, on the other hand, patriotism demands we stand fast with one who puts his life on the line in the service of the country. If it were me, I would observe the latter.
The questions to HRC and Rudy McRomney are tougher. But good to know they are DEMANDED to answer.
Question for ALL Presidential candidates
Here is a letter I sent to Keith Olbermann at "Countdown" .. KOlbermann@msnbc.com...
Everyone do the same (or to the commentator of their favorite OTHER show)
To: KOlbermann@msnbc.com
Subject: Question to ALL Presidential candidates
Joel Kackstetter from Bend,Oregon wants to know.........
Dear Keith,
Why are none of the Presidential candidates (other than Ron Paul !!) answering these questions from the voters of New Hampshire... http://www.nhasks.org/STR/index.html ... ???? (click on any candidate at top of page to see the questions asked that particular candidate).
Keith....Dare them to do so!!!
BTW.....If you do ask this question, you have my consent to use my name on you show.
Sincerely, Joel Kackstetter
Instructions: Google this.. " contact (your guy here) " .... to get their e-mail address. Copy and paste this letter if you wish....of course supply your own name, region, etc.
Perhaps not the most Paulite questionnaire
I read Ron Paul's questions and absolutely loved his responses: full 10's !!! However, I do not think that this is a fair questionnaire to the rest of the candidates. Ron Paul's question sheet appears to be the only one that doesn't contain questions that start with a "You said..." or "You believe..." type of questions. Ron Paul's questions are very straight-forward, what-would-you-do type; the questions of the other candidates are of a more presumptuous, you-did-this nature. While I think that it is valid to make candidates accountable for their past actions and statements in light of their current campaign stances, it is not reasonable to expect a reply when the questions seem accusatory towards other candidates.
I absolutely love Ron Paul, and think that he is the most honest, principled, and direct politician I have ever known. He has proven his ability to turn biased, loaded questions to his favor in the past, and in this case I certainly think that he was given fair, objective questions. However, I think the questions of other candidates were much more leading.
That's my opinion; I'd still love to see Rudy or Hickabee to respond to the questions. Paul has certainly had to deflate and respond to his share of spin tactic attacks.
It's about time
Is'nt it great that the other guys get to answer some weighty questions.?
HAHAHAH!
OUTSTANDING!!

Too soft on RP
Jay Leno asked tougher questions of RP.
These ads do ask some tough questions of other candidates, but are too leading in nature.
Equally tough questions for RP might have been:
"How will pulling our troops out of all foreign countries, some we've been in for over 50 years, make the US safer? Wouldn't that make us less safe?"
"Most other candidates have addressed the issue of healthcare with a proposal or new plan of some sort. What is your position on this, and why have you not suggested a new program?"
"You repeatedly talk about the Federal Reserve and US monetary policy while no other candidates seem concerned. The federal reserve has been the backbone of the US economy for nearly 100 years. Why should voters care about these issues, and wouldn't your proposal hurt the economy?"
"You have proposed eliminating the income tax an not replacing that revenue stream for the US government. This seems unrealistic to most voters. How would the government continue to pay for the services it provides?"
I think at least one of these questions would occur to the average 'experienced' voter when first learning about Ron Paul. Ron Paul would respond to these questions, and in exemplary fashion (partly by explaining why the questions are inaccurate or misleading). But the questions they asked him.... just not important to most people.
2nd
When I was a reporter before retirement, part of my self-discipline was to step outside myself an look at things with a fresh perspective. I did that with these questionnaires and came up with the same conclusions as you.
Keep This On Front Page This Is Huge
crackers4paul
Let's work this one!!!
I have been doing some reading.....
VERY IMPORTANT.....tell me what you think??
I have been doing a little reading, and I have come to a conclusion. I DON'T THINK THE other CANDIDATES WILL RESPOND??
It is a FULL catch 22. If they answer...they are screwed....If they don't answer...they are screwed.
I ask of all Ron Paul supporters ONE THING. On Monday, will you call, email, snail mail, or fax the head of this group (All info on site) And plead with the group to raise the ante. Tell them you are waiting to see the answers. Tell them you are waiting to see the truth...Tell them you appreciate trying to get straight answers out of all the other candidates to make your decison. DO NOT REFERENCE Ron Paul in your letter....just let them know how excited you are to see the real answers to all of the questions. Take 1 minute out of your day! We need this info...
This site.....as it stands in my opinion is all anybody needs.....
#1 The hard questions were asked to all candidates....
#2 The First Candidate to respond... Ron Paul
#3 The ONLY Candidate that will answer Ron Paul
#4 Why won't any other candidate answer??
This is huge...
Does somebody know Lew Rockwell, forward this entire thread to him...let him explode it on his site...
Is anybody a member here of Ronpaulforums.com? Could you please post this thread...or part of it...maybe the opening. ???
In my opinion....This entire Web Site and this entire thread is the truth.
We only get answers from one person......Ron Paul!
Take this to the limits. How can you get this out so we win NH?
Tell me?
I am doing all I can, and for some reason....after spending over 1 hour on this site reading every other question....I just sit here and say this......
"Please, Please... other candidates....I dare you to answer your questions....or give some BS why you didn't."
That is why I ask you to contact this NH group that has put this together...If they see a huge interest...they are more likely to work hard to get some answers from all of the other candidates!!
Either way....the content of this site is already a landslide for a Ron Paul Victory. Even if every other question to each candidate was printed out...and then say... Well "They would not answer.?"
The only one that did was Ron Paul and here are his answers straight up.
I think you are right.
I was thinking the same thing. If they do answer, the answers are going to be so vague that they are not answered. Can Hillary and Barack really answer those questions about AIPAC? No way!!
www.ronpaullibrary.org
Where is the Rudy Library and the Mitt Library. Has anyone found them? Do we even know if they can write?
anyone can email Lew Rockwell
Go to the LRC blog, and grab his email address. he's really good about getting back in a timely manner and posting relevant stuff in the blog.
Wish I lived in NH
but I don't
Coming from Michigan
Just coming from Michigan, from a guy who travels a lot.
I NEVER see Ron Paul anything here. Not bumper stickers, not yard signs, nothing I haven't done myself. So if there is some way they're throwing a gauge on interest, I don't know what it is.
Any idea why he thinks MI will be a landslide?
-James
???
Not sure what you're trying to say. Who is claiming Michigan would be a landslide, and who are they claiming would be the landslide winner?
Michigan has been hampered by delays in its primary, among other things. That has dampened campaigning here by everyone, and many voters weren't paying much attention until the state supreme court ruled it can proceed. But that was just a couple of days ago and there still are issues to resolve, like getting Dems back on the ballot here. (All but Hillary dropped out in deference to DNC rules against our early primary.)
In September Ron Paul signs lined the route to the GOP Mackinac Leadership Conference and his crowds there were second only to Romney, who after all is a Michigan native son. Last month Dr. Paul's supporters here generated more visibility than any other candidate outside the CNBC debate in Dearborn, followed by Dr. Paul's first crowd ever of 2,000 (at U of M). Volunteers have pooled money for airborne banners flown over the huge U of M stadium -- twice.
Sorry you haven't seen much, but a friend from Atlanta had a completely different impression when visiting some Detroit suburbs, exclaiming "I see Ron Paul signs all over the place -- much more than for anyone else." I guess it varies by neighborhood.
Maybe
Maybe it's just my routes where I don't see them.
I was referring to a response below mine, formatting was skewed for some reason, where someone claimed MI would be a landslide.
Maybe I'm just jealous that I don't see anything on my 100 miles of driving each day, lol. I AM glad they're somewhere, even if I don't get to see them.
Maybe with the Supreme Court ruling here people will wake up a bit and pau attention.

We just passed out literature in Michigan today!
There were 7 of us, from 9 AM - 5 PM today, great time, great people, and very enthusiastic!
Today we covered another 1,000+ homes, a store, apartments, and a church!
We even have a store owner who may post a sign up in front of his store. I am planning on getting 4 more banner signs up in front of other stores this week.
Tomorrow, we will be out there again. Not hundreds, but thousands of slim jims a day.
We are talking about getting a billboard going off of one of the freeways, 275, 96, or 23!
Very soon we will be seeing Ron Paul everywhere in Michigan! There are also new members joining the meetup daily.
We aren't playing around. These patriots are driven, I'm damn proud to be involved with people such as these.
We all need to lead by example. This is the time to get out and blitz your local area with Ron Paul.

Straw Poll?
Didn't Ron do really well in some straw polls there in Michigan?
I still maintain that if Ron raises the most money of any GOP candidate in the 4th Quarter, people will flock to him by the thousands in every state, because some people just want to make sure they vote for a winner, as dumb as that sounds.
3rd in Michigan straw poll
From late September at the GOP Mackinac Leadership Conference. Speakers included Giuliani, Romney, McCain, Thompson and Dr. Paul. It was a very impressive result, I thought, especially considering that it preceded by several weeks the publicity bumps that first began after Dr. Paul's impressive $5+ mil fundraising figure for the third quarter.
http://freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070923/NEWS06/...
Your point about people voting for a winner is well taken. I think hat's why fundraising campaigns for universities, for example, almost always start out with something in the kitty. They get commitments from a few wealthy donors and then say, as they announce the campaign, "See? This is such a good idea we've already got $10 million (or whatever) in the bank."
Unfortunately there may not be much fundraising in Michigan, due to the poor economy here. And it's difficult to expect much, since right now Michigan's delegates to the national GOP convention have been cut in half (and MI Dems will have zero) because of breaking both parties' rules with the early primary. But if that somehow gets back to normal, maybe early next week, Michigan will become a big early prize because it is so much larger than the other early states. It's also much more diverse than the others and a better test of which candidates will excel in a depressed economy.
Plans are underway for mailings to Michigan voters, I was told tonight, so volunteers here should be getting help soon!
Some very good questions...
Does NH do this every election? Do all the candidates typically answer them? Isn't it odd to ask a guy like Ron Paul if he will uphold the constitution? I was pretty sure on what the answers to those would be.
Will someone put this on
Will someone put this on Digg?
**the soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears**
You tell'em Ron!
Ride, Ron Paul, Ride!!!
Give me liberty or give me death.
Ron Paul will be the 44th president
NH Nevada and Michigan those three there will be a landslide win for Paul
I can't tell you where this info comes from...
but I can tell you that a friend of mine who has connections within the CFR folks he said today that Ron Paul now has about 40% chance to win it all and this guy is a high placed individual...I am so excited
Ron Paul 08 to restore the Constitution

“The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence.” Dr. Ron Paul
Not sure if it's ''vibes'' from staying abreast of news and
views on the Internet (and not by Paul supporters, I mean news reports and interviews and remarks by political pundits) ... but I too believe NH, Nevada and Michigan will be landslide win's for Dr. Paul.
