During your Presidency if scientists told you privately that an Asteroid the size of Texas was on a collision course with the earth in 10 years would you inform the American people?

What a softball question! Nobel Laureate Al Gore has stated that we only have 8 years left before the planet is destroyed so it doesn’t matter what happens by then!

Why change the timeframe to 5 years? Leave it at ten and any answer other than that there is no Asteroid of that size within the galaxy that could reach the earth by 2017 (the end of their second Presidential term)would indicate they do not agree with Al Gore’s forcast of doom.

Hmm, don’t know if I could make a video without having the kids jumping up and down in the background…

Sure you could. Remind them that the stability of America is directly related to the stability of the traditional American family and ask what they would do to shore it up.

It’s a very good question to guage the candidate’s character. Would they be secretive and let the public remain unaware until the crisis was at hand or would they be up front with the facts.

It’s my trap question. They have to answer that they would tell the truth right away but in reality you know it might not be a good responsible idea. They would have to consider the chaos they could cause. Suicides, crazy lawlessness…. You know good ol end times stuff! :)

Idiocy resulting from mob rule was anticipated by the founders and is precisely why the U.S. is a “Democratic Republic” instead of simply a “Democracy”.

I anticipate that nothing but childish silliness will result from this YouTube thing. We need serious questions by certified adults.

Actually, the United States is a Constitutional Republic. You will not find the term “democracy” anywhere inside the U.S. Constitution…

You didn’t think that 36-year-old who asked the “transparency question” was an adult? She seemed very nice but there were posters tacked up on the bedroom wall behind her. How many 36-year-olds still have that?

“Please explain the difference between a democratic republic and a democracy. Which system do you believe is the better one and why? Which system does America have?”

Better! ;-)

Do you support eliminating the income tax and replacing it with a flat tax?

Do you support private Social Security Accounts?

Mojack,

Just a suggestion….. You need to actually ask a question and it should be clear without a whole lot of set up.

Love it!

As a former skilled trades man in Californian, and seeing first hand the impact of illegal immigration have had in the building trades. They under cut and drive down American workers wages. With the constant invasion of armed forces coming across our southern border, and the numerous murders, rapes and molestations of our citizens and children by these invading illegals. Will any of you actually say “no more” and place our military on our souithern boarder to defend our nation from this attack on our people, our wages, our way of life, our health system, our ejection system and the American dream.
Which I have been losing sight of ever since 1986, and the shamnesty debacle that was forced on us all. And to you few that have a track record of wanting more shamnesty. Like you Mr. McCain and to those who ran a sanctuary city Mr. Giuliani why should I believe anything you say on this subject, and to Mr. Switchback I mean Brownback, were you only against the senate shamnesty bill because you saw it was going to lose?

And to Mr. Tancredo and Mr. Hunter how can Americans like my self volunteer to help build the fence. Because it looks like that’s the only way it’s ever going to get done.

Will you build and maintain a fence on the Southern border??

gmoonster on October 17, 2007 at 12:07 PM

Why, when the fence has been determined by studies and contractors to be the most effective and least expensive border protection method, don’t you build a fence on our Southern border??!?!?!????

“The federal assault weapon ban expired in 2004; President Bush said he would renew it if it reached his desk, and Governor Romney also supports such a ban. Would you support renewing it or a similar ban?”

Yeah, no offense to Darth Executor, but the question has murder, abortion, and a religious minority in it so it might be little controversial:) Maybe Sarah Silverman can make a funny joke out of it though.

terryannonline on October 17, 2007 at 11:38 AM

Who are you kidding? Silverman can’t make a funny joke to save her life. (Sorry, just find her really irritating and sooo not funny.)
