Eight Questions Mitt Won't Answer
The original YouTube Republican debate was originally supposed to take place tonight, before Mitt Romney and the Republican field ran away, scared that they would be "hard questions" by real Americans.
Mitt Romney is poking Republican YouTube users in the eye, Mitt Romney is holding a scripted online forum where he'll avoid having to answer tough questions from real Americans. So as a service we're proposing eight questions, which smooth talking Mitt Romney has avoided answering. We don't expect that Romney's "controlled" online forum will ask any tough questions but maybe it'll remind voters and the media about some of the questions that Romney is hoping to duck.
On His Massachusetts Health Care Plan:
Why does Mitt Romney call Democratic health care proposals “socialized medicine” when he championed a similar plan in Massachusetts, calling it “a conservative victory” as recently as April 2006?
On Tax Exemptions and Health Care:
Does Mitt Romney support using tax exemptions to expand health care (as he said in Florida on August 24) or does he think tax exemptions are not an effective way to provide universal health coverage “because the people that don’t have insurance aren’t paying taxes” (as he said during nationally televised debate on August 5)?
On Iraq:
Why did Mitt Romney let John McCain bully him into saying President Bush’s strategy in Iraqis working just days after Romney finally admitted that Iraq is “a mess” and in the middle of a civil war?
On the YouTube Debate:
Is Mitt Romney ducking the CNN/YouTube debate (which was originally scheduled for today) because he’s afraid to take questions from a snowman, or because the virtual video trail of all his flip-flops on YouTube is dogging his campaign?
On John Boehner’s “Small Price” Comment:
Why won’t Romney condemn Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner’s comment that the 3,776 American soldiers who have died in Iraq and the 27,186 soldiers who have been wounded there are “a small price” to pay?
On His Fundraisers:
Why won’t Mitt Romney disclose his bundlers or return money raised for his campaign by sketchy contributors like Alan Fabian?
On Blackwater:
Does he intend to keep Cofer Black in place as his top counter-terrorism advisor after his consulting operation was expelled by the government of Iraq for shooting civilians.
On PhonyFred.com website:
How does Romney expect people to believe his campaign had nothing to do with the Phony Fred website when his South Carolina consultant Warren Tompkins and SC Campaign Manager Terry Sullivan were “working in the same office space, using the same phone number and sharing the same e-mail network as the group responsible for PhoneyFred.org”?
