6. Why not invoke that new Civil Assistance Plan with Canada and have them send their military down here to defend our border? That would beat building a fence and we could maybe stop the illegal colonization of our country.
Should Democrats raise taxes to pay off the massive debt we accumulated?
7. Should we stop the Democrats from raising taxes? OOOHH! That should snag the suckers. Maybe the real question should have been: Will the Democrats be forced to raise taxes to cover all the spending, tax cuts to the wealthiest 1%, bail outs of predatory lenders, loss of jobs, and billions spent on this War OF Terror. Considering the Republicans borrowed us into massive and unrepayable debt……this is really a moot point.
Continue the tax cuts so the wealthiest don’t have to contribute?
8. No. The tax cuts to those who didn’t need them should be stopped. After all, we’re at war, the troops need those “tools”, and the economy is tanking big time. Wouldn’t it be more patriotic to ante up when you have so much, than to expect those who are losing their jobs and homes, pensions and everything they have worked for to continue to finance those who contribute so little?
Should we allow multinational corporations to rape and pillage more of the country and then threaten you with your job if you object?
9. Job killing environmental regulations? And what jobs would those be? (I can’t wait for the answer to this one!) I think what you are concerned about are those CAFTA provisions that you have not been quite successful at implementing just yet. Read “trade illegal” regarding environmental obstacles to pollution and other “job killing” provisions.
Could someone please balance the budget? We’ve made such a mess of things!
10. A balanced budget amendment???? You’ve got to be kidding! This from someone who has been part of the biggest expansion in government since its inception, who has helped kill the economy with massive borrowing and spending……and now you want a balanced budget amendment??? You are such a funny guy!
Fair trade or, corporate greed supported by this government?
11. There is a difference between free trade and fair trade. The free trade policies of this administration and the 108th and 109th congress and now the 110th, have decimated our wages, jobs, caused massive home foreclosure, loss of health insurance and more families slip below the poverty line every day. What do you think Mr. McConnell? Do you think maybe its time someone put the brakes on this disaster and admitted that without regulation, without controls, businesses in the US (the few that remain) cannot be trusted to act in the best interest of the country? Wage and price controls would be just the tip of the iceberg in what is needed to salvage our country from the pile of rubble the Republicans have helped to create.
Gay marriage will divert your attention from our corruption…Should we pass an Amendment?
14. We have far more important issues that are of true priority without creating problems where none exists. Don’t believe in gay marriage? Don’t marry a gay person! Problem solved! With the divorce rate hitting 60% on those “traditional” marriages you trotted out there……I dont’ think you have a leg to stand on. Your argument has no merit.
Activist judges……are they only worthy if we picked them?
15. Activist judges? Why not! We just approved a several religious lunatics and a few even got on to the Supreme Court! No one is more “activist” than than when they claim to be doing “God’s work!”
The federal government needs more of your money……blame someone else?
