8 Questions Nobody Asks Mitt Romney
GrassTopsUSA Guest Commentary
By Gregg Jackson
06-01-07Is it just me or are any of you as frustrated as I am at the ridiculously inane questions posed to the presidential candidates during the debates and interviews on TV and radio? It seems as though no politician has had to face any genuinely challenging questions regarding their actual positions and record.
Because I believe that most Americans are sick and tired of the scripted talking points, I will be issuing a series of “Questions For The Candidates”… questions that I have seldom, if ever, heard asked by any major TV or radio hosts… questions that should reveal the candidates’ true beliefs and values.
With any luck, perhaps some of these questions will find their way into future interviews and debates. At least then Americans would get what they deserve; straight talk and truth instead of talking points and spin.
Let’s start the ball rolling with Mitt Romney:
1. Homosexual-Marriage: Mr. Romney, you say that you oppose so-called same-sex marriage. If that is the case, why, when you were governor of Massachusetts and had the authority to remove activist judges who usurped the legislative authority of the citizens of the Commonwealth to make marriage laws, did you do nothing? Why, instead of stopping a group of unelected judges from imposing their personal views on the citizens of Massachusetts, did you instead order justices of the peace to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies or be fired? Why, did you direct the Department of Public Health to change the wording on marriage licenses from “husband” and “wife” to “partner A” and “partner B” when this was not required by any law?
