Bio
born in Illinois. 5 year Navy veteran. Married for 25 years (not counting the first five when we just cohabited. 4 kids, 6 grandkids, 3 brothers 2 living, 2 sisters 1 living, a mother living, a father not living. 1 dog a labradoodle, and a current cat population of 9 (I'm working on that number) I've done a lot of jobs in my life, from shill at a carnival burlesque show to making medium caliber ammunition. I built inkjet printers, embedded computer boards, restored and repaired both cars, motorcycles and electronics. I read, write, and do arithmetic (albeit poorly) My wife claims that I have more useless knowledge than anyone on earth and resultingly no one will play trivial pursuit with me anymore. I do play pinohcle but due to my inability to cheat I don't win very often. Recently disabled I turned to Open Salon to re-engage my writing bug. Update, cat population now at 3. homes found for kittens. Update two add one cocker spaniel to the list and maybe just shoot me.

Questions I'd like to ask Republican Candidates

Rate: 11 Flag

The brou ha ha over contraceptives has left me confused and in need of answers to some religious freedom questions of the power people in the GOP.  Now I've read statements from Superpac managers to seantors like Mitch McConnell about how requiring religious institutions that act as employers to provide access to even those practices, like contraception, that they find to be abhorrent.  

Mitch, I see that you find any restriction to religious beliefs to be unconstitutional,  in that case can we assume that you now support the use, and legalization of peyote and marijuana since both are sacraments of legitimate religions?  Does your stance on religion only apply to Judeo-Christian derivatives and if so then why do you deny Rasta Fari the right to pray to God?

 Mitt, when you strapped your dog to the roof of the car for a trip to Canada didn't it occur to you that it might defecate or urinate while you were travelling?  Given that it apppears that it didn't, how would that lack of awareness translate into claim to be an astute businessman?

Rick,  You spend a lot of time worried about other peoples sex lives.  Isn't this obsession with sex an indicator of some deeply hidden sexual problems of your own?  Do you feel that the drafters of the constitution were in error when they allowed that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalenable rights instead of saying Jesus?  Would you change the constitution to reflect that?

Newt, sorry, no questions for you, you insufferable bag of feces.

Ron, just one for you, Really?  Really?

I wrote about that awhile ago and figure maybe Mitt's dog should run for the head of the Republican partyl.
Smartest thing there.
HUGGGGGGGG
Good questions, Bobbot. But don't hold your breath waiting for answers from that crew!
I think Mitt would get that really stiff patient smile on his face and say the dog just looooooved riding on the roof of the car in a box.
I think Rick would point his index finger in the air, and just as he was about to answer, lightning would strike him (hopeful smile).
I try not to think about Newt...the picture just saying his name brings to my mind is, well, unspeakable.
Ron Paul? I think old cranky grandpa needs his nap, now!
You'd think with all the debates, there wouldn't be any unanswered questions of the Republicans, but you came up with some good ones.
I want to ask them to leave. No more, no less.
I know he will say "The Dog LIKED to sit on top of the car! R
Mitt strapped his dog to the roof and then said, "he LIKES it up there...he lays right down and goes to sleep". I wish someone would strap old Mr Michigan Trees Are the Right Height to a car roof for a cross country trip. Justice served in my book!

Santurum is going to enjoy many many many frothy moments if he secures the nomination, which assuredly he will not.

Calling Newt an insufferable bag of feces was too kind. a fat bag of shit would have been my choice.
Everyone should ask these questions AND more, Bobbot. What makes these people so unaccountable for their actions?
Strapping a dog to the roof of a car. I bet he got some "looks" that would kill! hahahaha!
Seems to me that Santorum might be questioning the whole notion of being "endowed by our Creator". Some are better endowed than others. Just thinking...
Perfect and perfectly reasonable questions. If only you were asking people with any brain activity.
Since Santorum seems to think that sex has one purpose only and his wife Karen is 51, the age where the average woman reaches menopause, my question for him is: is he planning to abstain from sex, since obviously, marital sex from this point on is not (re)productive? If not, explain the reasoning.

Here's my question for Mitt: You've declared we won't negotiate with the Taliban, we will defeat the Taliban. After 10 years of war, how is this to be achieved? Please detail why we haven't won to date and how you are going to change that. If you state that we're making progress, momentum, tide is turning, please explain why all the similar statements made in the last 5 years have not yielded victory and why yours will.

Same for any other candidate who plans to win the war in Afghanistan.
