You ever get sick of the "anything but a straight answer" approach from our elected leaders (and those who want to be our elected leaders)?
Well, if I were one-on-one with various politicians and had somehow gotten the opportunity to pump them full of truth serum, here are some questions I would ask.
Every Republican primary contestant:
Who will be the first Justice you appoint to the Supreme Court and why?
After you repeal ObamaCare, what will be the second thing you do to get the economy going again?
Mitt Romney:
Can you demonstrate the key differences between RomneyCare and ObamaCare in one or two soundbites, seeing as that's all the average voter has time for? And if you can't, doesn't that mean that, as Rick Santorum said, that ObamaCare will be "off the table" if/when you become the nominee?
On a similar note, can you explain what "venture capitalism" and "blind trusts" are is without boring or insulting anyone who makes less than $40,000 a year?
Given that you are part of the 1%, that class warfare will be a huge theme of Obama's re-election campaign, and that Obama has a one-billion-dollar smear machine ready to go, your claim to be the most electable candidate is tenuous at best. What are the top three ways your team will combat Obama's class warfare and smear tactics?
Newt Gingrich:
Can you explain why you supported an individual mandate in the 1990s (and apparently the 2000s as well), only to suddenly change your mind about it recently?
Precisely what service(s) did you provide for Freddie Mac? What did "consulting" entail?
Barack Obama:
Given that ObamaCare's unpopularity led to the Tea Party counter-revolution in 2010, and given your own reluctance to mention it as one of your administration's accomplishments, shouldn't it be repealed?
In precisely what way is our economic situation Bush's fault?
Gov. Pat Quinn (D-IL):
In the year following your eleventh-hour tax hike, Illinois has had the greatest rise in unemployment in the nation. Shouldn't the tax hike be repealed?
