Saw this on Glenn Beck today(you know, that far right extremist). Here’s a list of questions:<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Can we survive this debt? If yes, how?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Why the rush on health care reform, cap-and-trade?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Who is writing these bills?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Will Washington read and understand the bills?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Why are you called “grassroots” if you are for, but “Astroturf” if you are against?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Our unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and health care programs before we stop the flow of red ink?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN: How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 If it was so important for Congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent six months later?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Former President Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them; how exactly does that work?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Why won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Was the “cash for clunkers” program meant to save the Earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special adviser to the president?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Did President Obama know of Van Jones\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 radical political beliefs when he named him special adviser?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill; why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 If politicians aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t writing the bills and aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 If the “public option” health care plan is so good, why won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t politicians agree to have that as their plan?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on our mind, why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Why would you want to overwhelm the system?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through Congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about not letting a crisis go to waste?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 What are the president’s “czars” paid? What is the budget for their staffs\/offices?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saw this on Glenn Beck today(you know, that far right extremist).
