First 30 minutes of MSNBC debate are Candidates questioning one another! What should Paul ask and to whom?

Didn't expect the question he asked McCain....he blew a big chance there to get new voters.

For example:
Will you vote to repeal the Patriot Act ?
...the Military Commissions Act?

or some question concerning the COMPLETE restoring of our Bill of Rights.

That's one.

What benefit to the American people is served by the Iraq War?

Famous Quote from Justice William O. Douglas

"The Constitution is not neutral.
It was designed to take the government
off the backs of people."

Boycott Fox. Boycott PayPal. Boycott ChipIn.

I have always thought someone should point out that Ron Paul's campaign is managed fiscally. He doesn't fly around on his own leer jet and waste people's money. It represents what he would do if elected. Other candidates seem to like the star treatment, the high class route. Maybe he should ask how they would be sound managers of money since their present behavior proves otherwise?

Ask how as president they will each be able to promote a sound economy and manage a budget responsibly, since they are for the most part, broke as candidates.

hit them with logic, economics, and a touch of a personal insult.

Too bad there is no way to get these to Dr. Paul..That would be a good use for this forum...kinda disheartening..
I know he is wise,but there is something to be said for an outside perspective.

.... but just wanted to bump the thread . ( smile ) .

To McCain or Romney : .... these are my prefered choices ...

With America owing close to 10 trillion dollars in debt , and having run deficits in the hundreds of billions every year .... how will you not ONLY balance the budget , but pay down the debt ...... or ...

.... will you be content to pass that debt to our children and grand children ?

The only thing I would differ with the original poster , is tying it to the military . We all know that it's one of the major factors of spending , but the answer could be spun back like this ....

" .... well the price is high for war ... but no price is too high to defend America from her enemies .... " .

I could see a McCain doing this .

The answers could be like ... " .... look at my record for balanced budgets in Senate/Governership ..... stop pork barrel spending , stop bridges to nowhere ..... etc . ad naseum ... "

But it might make them look clueless .

here in America but you are all for spending trillions in Iraq?

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."

Please give your (uninformed) opinion on how the Federal Reserve interest rate cut will negatively effect the local, continental and global economies?

Of course they will be dumbfounded and give some ridiculous answer about how having 3 jobs is "Uniquely American" and look like bafoons
The economy is where Dr. Paul can kick butt tonight so he should stick to his guns! 8]

Questions for all candidates -

Which of you thinks the Federal Reserve is a govt body? And if you agree it is privately owned, can you tell us who owns it?

What do you believe is the impact of our diminished $ and what do you intend to do about it?

economics. Or if there is an economist in history he admires and why.

Ask Romney how much a gallon of milk costs and if he has any idea why milk prices jumped 29% in the last quarter of 2007.

Ask Giuliani if he or any one he knows, like maybe a former advisor, has ever had his phone tapped without a warrant. Might also ask who is business clients are and if any are states that harbor terrorists.

Ask Huckabee if he ever studied the work of St. Thomas Aquinas in theology school and if he could explain the Aquinas theory of just war.

Ron Paul should ask every candidate the same thing and then answer it himself to prove a point.
"Have you ever studied the constitution and can you name at least 8 of the amendments".
I'm willing to bet most of them couldn't and then when its Ron Paul's turn to speak he can just sit there and ramble off all 27 in correct order just to prove a point.

Why none of Romney's five sons are in a war Romney wants to lead.

Save social security in its current form for those that are dependent or it, or continue the Iraq war, we can't afford to pay for both, which do you choose?

I think it's the perfect question for the retirees of Florida

There were LOTS of good ones.

For Sen. McCain: In light of everything we now know about the buildup to the Iraq war, the immense casualties and destruction, and the situation as it now stands, do you renounce your initial support for going to war?

For Gov. Huckabee: Considering that "Thou shalt not kill" is a basic tenet of Christianity, how do you justify your support of capitol punishment?

For Gov. Romney: Have you ever studied the Constitution of the United States of America?

I wonder if the "we're all Reagan and Ron Paul's not" theme from the LA primary will carry over to the debates.

Simply this would give them lock jaw: Ask all the clowns: "Do you care, have you asked Americans, do you know what they think, about merging America, Canada, and Mexico? Do you care what Americans think about a New World Order? Or are you making this decision in spite of what Americans know and think? Are you serving Americans, or do they serve you and your interests?..."

This election is about globalism versus American sovereignty. It is just that most Americans do not know this because it has been kept a secret and now that the secret is more or less out, most people won't address it.

If we could get back to American Sovereignty, then our economy would get back in line. Get rid of IRS, bring back the Constitution, bring home the soldiers, close our overseas bases that we are all paying for and everything would be great.

Are you ignorant or just stupid?

No one knows or cares what it is that isn't already on board. Besides, the CFR by itself isn't dangerous. It's their IDEAS that are dangerous, it's their power over policy that is dangerous!

So attack the ideas and problems with them. And get to the point of what America cares about, "How exactly are we kept safe by having our military spread so thin across the globe? Everywhere accept where we NEED to be kept safe, right here at home!"

"Considering the US Dollar is propped up by international confidence in it as the world's reserve currency, and now that the world is losing confidence and will very soon stop using it as their reserve, how do you propose to add REAL value back to our dollar, back to our economy and prevent us from the looming collapse which inches closer everyday?"

Ok, bit wordy... I know others can come up with shorter better ones... The point is... Avoid ad hominem attacks, even those directed at the CFR. To assume people will immediately recognize the evil that they represent from the three letter acronym is ridiculous!

RP: All of you want us to stay in Iraq and maintain an American empire all over the world. With our economy tanking, a deficit near 10 trillion, and the American dream fleeting for more and more Americans, how do you intend to pay for continuing occupation of Iraq and playing policeman of the world?

And blast them good! I want to see the aggressive RP again! I loved it! I want to see some red stinky bloooooooaaad tonight!!!

that Ron Paul gets no questions or at least the fewest minutes of talking?

This is about electability, do you have any sir?

It'll be inevitable that the race card's gonna be played on Ron.

Collectivism is slavery.

before. I'm sure he has retorts to anything they would bring up.

Question for McCain: What actions will you take to bring inflation under control? or better yet, just anything economic since McCain already admitted to the NY Times that he doesn't understand economics, lol. Senator McCain what is the relationship of gold to a falling US dollar? or any number of such themes.

Actually, he could ask any of them a serious question on economics and none would be able to reply well.

I'm more concerned with what retarded question they will ask RP.

1. McCain - Did you collaborate with the enemy on 32 separate occasions over a 5 1/2 year period during your imprisonment in NAM. Did you intentionally block a senate sub-committee formation/investigation in 1992 to look into the POW/MIA issues.

2. Romney - It is true the Staples is considered to be the Wal-Mart of office supplies due to it sole stocking of cheap Chinese products and low pay scale for employees?

So Senator, 935 false statements from the Bush administration regarding the Iraq war, how long did you say we should stay - another 100 years?

The US Government is $9 trillion in debt, mostly to China, Japan and the Arabs. We have an annual budget deficit of $200 billion more. And the Head of the General Accounting Office calculates our unfunded obligations under Social Secuirty and Medicare to be in the range of $50 trillion dollars. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Practices, this country is bankrupt. What do you plan to do about it?

Are you a member of the CFR and if so, what are their goals and why are you a member. Ask Romney.
