50 Easy Questions to Ask Any Republican
READ MORE: Iraq, Dick Cheney, Saddam Hussein, George W. Bush
Anyone can ask tough, intricate, confrontational questions. But all that ever does is start an argument, and it gets people nowhere. On the other hand, these are...well, easy. These are friendly questions. These are questions that allow another person to actually explain their thoughts, and explain fully. And to do so in as comfortable, as simple a way as possible.
Without feeling attacked. Without feeling pressure. Without feeling no one cares what they have to say. Friendly. Easy.
Print them out, carry them around in your pocket, and the next time someone begins quoting from a Republican talking points memo, take the list out and ask.

50 Easy Questions to Ask Any Republican
I know many here feel I'm "close-minded" or "don't see things from another view", but I read countless lefty blogs and sites ... so here is something I found today ...
Good ones. Reminds of Stephen Colbert's questioning of the Republican Senator who supported the movement to display the Ten Commandments in public buildings (i.e. courts, legislative buildings, etc.). The guy couldn't even name 3 of the 10!!!

Re: 50 Easy Questions to Ask Any Republican
1. What are the Top Seven best things that the Bush Administration has done?
1. Lowered my income taxes
2. Lowered the capital gains tax rate
3. Didn't "fix" Social Security
4. Prevented that moron Al Gore from becoming president
5. Prevented that poseur John F'ing Kerry from becoming president
6. Passed no significant legistlation that interferes with my life
7. Pissed off the French.
2. Is the Iraq War is going well?
The Iraq War ended several years ago. Near as I can tell, the problem is that we didn't kill enough people. Curtis LeMay had it right... bomb 'em into the stone age. The Iraq post-war is going shitty.
3. After three years thus far, when do you think Iraq might be able to "stand up" so that America can "stand down"?
Never. See (2)
4. For his part in the event, how would you rate the job the President did protecting New Orleans from devastation?
It was never the President's job to protect New Orleans from devistation. The frigging place is below sea level and a big fraction of the population was below the poverty level. State and local government was notoriously corrupt. What did you think was going to happen?
5. How do you think the rebuilding of New Orleans is going?
Cafe du Monde is open. You can get drunk on Bourbon Street. Most of the good restaurants are open. The convention center and casino are open. The SuperDome will be open part way through the NFL season. Nobody is interested in rebuilding the slums and shacks where the poor people lived. No friggin' surprise there. Fortunately, most of them now live in Texas and won't be coming back. Why would anybody want the government to build subsidized housing that's below sea level?
6. When Dick Cheney and the oil company and energy executives met in private to plan America's energy policy, how much of their goal was to benefit consumers?
I'll wait until Oliver Stone makes the movie.
7. Do you believe in the President's call for an Era of Personal Responsibility?
Yes
8. Since Republicans control the White House, Senate and House of Representatives, how personally responsible are they for conditions in America today?
They're not particularly responsible. The government has very limited impact on national economic conditions.
9. Why do you think they haven't been able to find anyone who can verify that George Bush ever showed up for National Guard duty in Alabama?
Probably because he never showed up. If I had the connections to escape military service in the Viet Nam era, I would have done exactly the same thing.
10. Would you want Donald Rumsfeld to plan your daughter's wedding?
No. I don't think olive green is an approprate color for weddings.
11. Are you aware that no government in the history of civilization, other than the Bush Administration, has lowered taxes during a war?
The Iraq "war" was over years ago.
12. Are you married?
Yes.
13. Do you personally feel threatened by gay marriage?
No. I just don't want to pay for it.
14. Since getting elected, do you think the President has been more a uniter or a divider?
I think most people are united... in thinking that Dubya is a moron. The dividing point is 50% of the people say "He's a moron, but he's MY moron."
15. How do you explain the President's approval rating going from a high of 90% to the current mid-30%?
People forgot that they held their nose and voted for Dubya rather than Gore or Kerry.
16. Do you like the government collecting personal data on you without a warrant?
I have no issues with it. The IRS has been doing it forever. Only criminals are affected.
17. How much money do you have in your bank account, stocks and investments?
I suspect quite a bit more than you.
18. What's your partner's favorite sex position?
K1 gondola. On top.
19. If you have nothing to hide, why aren't you answering?
I have nothing to hide.
20. Should we build a wall along the Mexican border?
No. Land mines and automated guns would be cheaper.
21. Why isn't anyone building a wall along the Canadian border?
Because the Canadians have already built one to keep the Americans out.
22. Does that terrorist gang arrested in Canada count as a threat?
Yes.
23. If you shot someone in the face while drinking, how fast would the police show up to arrest you?
In New Hampshire, "hunting accidents" are a well-respected way of resoving disputes.
24. If Donald Rumsfeld had planned your daughter's wedding three years ago, would the guests still be there?
No.
25. Even if no laws are broken, do you think it's okay to reveal the name of a covert agent?
No.
26. During your lifetime, approximately how often have you changed your mind?
Frequently.
27. Why shouldn't people dismiss you as a flip-flopper?
Because I change my mind based on rational thought and new information. I don't just take arbitrary decisions.
28. Where do you think the Weapons of Mass Destruction might be?
Most of 'em are in the US.
29. Where do you think Osama bin Laden might be?
Some hell hole in Pakistan.
30. Is it fiscally responsible to cut taxes, increase spending and create a $9 trillion federal debt?
No. Spending should have been cut proportional to the tax cuts.
31. Are you glad liberals passed such programs as Social Security, Medicare, the Civil Rights Act, women's suffrage, federal deposit insurance, unemployment compensation, rural electrification, child labor laws, minimum wages and the 40-hour work week?
Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I won't see a dime from Social Security. I don't know about you but I'm salaried and haven't worked as few as 40 hours ever in my career.
32. What are the Top Ten best things that conservatives have given to America?
Personal property rights
Flexible work force
National defense
Strong local government, weak federal government
33. If you were on life support, would you want a doctor you'd never met making a diagnosis about you via remote television?
If he was a world-class specialist? Sure. Much better than some hack Pakastani ER physician at a rural hospital.
34. Do you think man-made greenhouse gases have anything at all to do with depleting the ozone layer?
Insufficient data.
35. If Donald Rumsfeld had planned your daughter's wedding three years ago, and guests were still there, how many factions would they now be split into?
I would have killed them all by now.
36. How good is it that the terrorist Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was killed?
1 down. 50 million to go.
37. Are you aware that in 2002 the Pentagon knew where al-Zarqawi was and presented three separate plans to kill him, but the Administration refused to act each time?
Insufficient data.
38. Is George W. Bush the kind of guy you'd want to sit down and have a beer with?
No. I'd rather do lines with him.
39. When he started talking about being a Born Again Christian, would you want to stay or leave?
Did the secret service confiscate my gun?
40. Is Ray Romano the kind of guy you'd want to sit down and have a beer with?
No.
41. Would you want him to be President?
No.
42. Does the Administration have an environmental policy that benefits the environment?
No.
43. Since George Bush campaigned for President strongly against nation building, in what ways are our actions in Iraq not nation building?
Huh?
44. What's the maximum amount of time you'd want to spend alone with Dick Cheney?
I think he's a pretty interesting guy. I don't have a max time.
45. After dismissing Saddam Hussein's old Iraqi army, was it a good idea to let them keep their rifles?
No.
46. Would a policy that allows torture be something that makes you proud as an American?
Sure. Hypothetical example: Some terrorist has planted a nuclear bomb in NYC. It will detonate in 1 hour.
Your options are:
* use torture, chemicals, whatever, to get the terrorist to tell you where the bomb is
* Let 10 million people vaporize
47. Has the Mission been Accomplished?
No
48. Do you feel comforted that Dick Cheney is a heartbeat away from being President?
Better than when Al Gore was in the same position.
49. If Donald Rumsfeld had planned your daughter's wedding, and guests started fighting and were killed, would you expect to be allowed to view the caskets when they were returned home?
Why would I want to view the caskets?
50. How glad do you think George Bush is that he's no longer active in the National Guard?
He's commander in chief so technically, he is active.
1. Lowered my income taxes
2. Lowered the capital gains tax rate
3. Didn't "fix" Social Security
4. Prevented that moron Al Gore from becoming president
5. Prevented that poseur John F'ing Kerry from becoming president

Geoff, you took the time and answered quite well. You da man, like SS said. Give em hell.
Besides, NOBODY does it right all the time, and you pointed that out.

Why's Everybody Always Pickin on Me?
50/50
I think I'll give it a shot.
1. What are the Top Seven best things that the Bush Administration has done?
When Clinton was in office Al-Qaeda was running Afghanistan. Now they're not.
When Clinton was in office Al-Qaeda had terrorist training camps in Iraq. Now they don't.
When Clinton was in office Al-Qaeda was able to bomb U.S. office buildings. Now they can't.
When Clinton was in office Al-Qaeda was able to bomb U.S. warships. Now they can't.
When Clinton was in office Saddam was killing tens of thousands of innocent people. Now he's not.
When Clinton was in office the FBI and the CIA couldn't work together to fight terrorism. Now they can.
When Clinton was in office the U.S. was giving missiles to Red China. Now we're not.
When Clinton was in office the U.S. was number one in the world in weapons exports. Now we're not.
When Clinton was in office Lybia was developing nuclear weapons. Now they're not.
When Clinton was in office bin Laden was calling our troops a bunch of paper tigers. Now he's not.
2. Is the Iraq War is going well?
Go ask Saddam's two sons.
3. After three years thus far, when do you think Iraq might be able to "stand up" so that America can "stand down"?
We won't give you a timetable because you'll disclose it to the enemy.
4. For his part in the event, how would you rate the job the President did protecting New Orleans from devastation?
Very well when he stepped in to do the job that their local government failed to do. How would you rate the job Bill Clinton did in protecting North Carolina from devastation?
5. How do you think the rebuilding of New Orleans is going?
Very well, and Governer Bush did an excellent job in rebuilding Florida.
6. When Dick Cheney and the oil company and energy executives met in private to plan America's energy policy, how much of their goal was to benefit consumers?
Why would a company not want to benefit consumers? It's bad for business.
7. Do you believe in the President's call for an Era of Personal Responsibility?
Yes.
8. Since Republicans control the White House, Senate and House of Representatives, how personally responsible are they for conditions in America today?
The conditions in America today are great, so if you want to say that they're responsible for that, then go ahead.
9. Why do you think they haven't been able to find anyone who can verify that George Bush ever showed up for National Guard duty in Alabama?
Emily Marks Curtis said that she distinctly remembers George Bush visiting Montgomery in 1972 to fulfill his Air National Guard commitment. On Feb 11 2004, The White House released military records that show conclusively that President Bush completed the required drills there.
10. Would you want Donald Rumsfeld to plan your daughter's wedding?
Sure. We'll invite some of our troops and have Twisted Sister play for us. Speaking of daughters, would you want Bill Clinton to spend a night with your daughter?
11. Are you aware that no government in the history of civilization, other than the Bush Administration, has lowered taxes during a war?
I knew that Bush was good, but I didn't know he was that good.
12. Are you married?
No.
13. Do you personally feel threatened by gay marriage?
No. Do you personally feel threatened when someone refers something that's lame as being gay?
14. Since getting elected, do you think the President has been more a uniter or a divider?
This is a liberal oxymoron. They claim that Congress is too divided and too one-sided.
15. How do you explain the President's approval rating going from a high of 90% to the current mid-30%?
In 2004, his approval rating was 40% and he still beat Kerry. How do you explain that?
16. Do you like the government collecting personal data on you without a warrant?
Yes. I have nothing to hide, and it prevents people from blowing things up.
17. How much money do you have in your bank account, stocks and investments?
About a quarter million dollars, which isn't nearly as much as Al Gore and Michael Moore have in oil companies.
18. What's your partner's favorite sex position?
Wearing a bikini on the beach. What's your favorite sexually transmitted disease?
19. If you have nothing to hide, why aren't you answering?
What made you think I had something to hide? I'm not Hillary Clinton.
20. Should we build a wall along the Mexican border?
Of course. We could charge the Mexicans to use the wall to play Jai Alai.
21. Why isn't anyone building a wall along the Canadian border?
Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, called it a "cockamamie idea" and got the Canadian border fence idea scrapped.
22. Does that terrorist gang arrested in Canada count as a threat?
Not anymore.
23. If you shot someone in the face while drinking, how fast would the police show up to arrest you?
If you were drinking and left a woman in your car to drown, how fast would the police show up to arrest you?
24. If Donald Rumsfeld had planned your daughter's wedding three years ago, would the guests still be there?
No, the wedding reception wouldn't last for three years.
25. Even if no laws are broken, do you think it's okay to reveal the name of a covert agent?
No. Joe Wilson accused that someone in the Bush administration violated the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. However, in July 14, 2005 Wilson told CNN, "My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity." Case closed.
26. During your lifetime, approximately how often have you changed your mind?
A lot. Examples are: The mountains or the beach? Hotdog or pizza? Sneakers or flip-flops?
27. Why shouldn't people dismiss you as a flip-flopper?
Conservatives change their minds when they figure out a better approach. Liberals change their minds at random to try to get more votes.
28. Where do you think the Weapons of Mass Destruction might be?
They were already found, no thanks to the UN.
29. Where do you think Osama bin Laden might be?
When Clinton was in office bin Laden was ruling Afghanistan. Now bin Laden is hiding in a cave somewhere in Pakistan wishing that Kerry won the election.
30. Is it fiscally responsible to cut taxes, increase spending and create a $9 trillion federal debt?
On July 11, 2006 the New York Times said that the economy is surprisingly doing well.
31. Are you glad liberals passed such programs as Social Security, Medicare, the Civil Rights Act, women's suffrage, federal deposit insurance, unemployment compensation, rural electrification, child labor laws, minimum wages and the 40-hour work week?
I don't have use for any of those.
32. What are the Top Ten best things that conservatives have given to America?
See question one, but note that liberals seem to think they have no use for any of those.
33. If you were on life support, would you want a doctor you'd never met making a diagnosis about you via remote television?
Yes.
34. Do you think man-made greenhouse gases have anything at all to do with depleting the ozone layer?
Very little. Do you think the northern hemisphere is going to turn into an instant ice age as depicted by liberals? If so, then how come you're not moving to South America?
35. If Donald Rumsfeld had planned your daughter's wedding three years ago, and guests were still there, how many factions would they now be split into?
The guests wouldn't still be there.
36. How good is it that the terrorist Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was killed?
You mean you didn't want him killed? By the way... you're going to ask the same question about bin Laden when he gets captured. Mark my word.
37. Are you aware that in 2002 the Pentagon knew where al-Zarqawi was and presented three separate plans to kill him, but the Administration refused to act each time?
Are you aware that in the 1990s the Clinton administration knew where bin Laden was and refused to act?
38. Is George W. Bush the kind of guy you'd want to sit down and have a beer with?
Make it a double.
39. When he started talking about being a Born Again Christian, would you want to stay or leave?
This is one reason why I'm not a liberal... it's anti-Christian.
40. Is Ray Romano the kind of guy you'd want to sit down and have a beer with?
Of course, I like performers. Romano performed for Bill Clinton and Al Gore at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
41. Would you want him to be President?
I won't know unless he starts running for office.
42. Does the Administration have an environmental policy that benefits the environment?
Yes. In 2002 President Bush supported and signed into law a Farm Bill that enhances conservation and environmental stewardship. Under this Administration, funding has nearly doubled for these effective programs. The Farm Bill conservation programs are providing more than $40 billion over a decade to restore millions of acres of wetlands, protect habitats, conserve water, and improve streams and rivers near working farms and ranches.
43. Since George Bush campaigned for President strongly against nation building, in what ways are our actions in Iraq not nation building?
When we were busting Saddam's statue. It was a sad day in liberal land.
44. What's the maximum amount of time you'd want to spend alone with Dick Cheney?
Unlimited. What's the maximum amount of time you'd want to spend in a car driven by Patrick Kennedy?
45. After dismissing Saddam Hussein's old Iraqi army, was it a good idea to let them keep their rifles?
I'm not sure. Was it a good idea for the Clinton administration to give nuclear reactors to North Korea? I'm more concerned about that.
46. Would a policy that allows torture be something that makes you proud as an American?
That's a vague question. Do you mean starving someone who's on life support? Then no. Do you mean getting a terrorist to give information that could save thousands of Americans? Then yes.
47. Has the Mission been Accomplished?
A lot more would've been accomplished if the liberals didn't oppose everything we've done.
48. Do you feel comforted that Dick Cheney is a heartbeat away from being President?
Yes. This is nothing new... the libs have been saying that about every republican vice president for decades.
49. If Donald Rumsfeld had planned your daughter's wedding, and guests started fighting and were killed, would you expect to be allowed to view the caskets when they were returned home?
That would never happen. Rumsfeld wouldn't invite terrorists to wedding receptions. Perhaps a liberal like Chrissy Hynde would.
50. How glad do you think George Bush is that he's no longer active in the National Guard?
I'm totally glad that he's no longer active. If he was, then he wouldn't be the Commander and Chief.
