That lousy debate on ABC the other night---with its stupid questions about flag lapel pins, flag "love", pastor patriotism, and other inanities---was the worst of the debate season. Of course, it didn't have much to live down to.
George Stephanopoulos will again be questioning a presidential candidate this weekend when John "Maverick" McCain appears Sunday on ABC's This Week.
So, Georgie, how about playing "gotcha" with "Ol' Straight Talk", too?
McCain has long been a media darling. Time for that shit to stop.
How about asking some of these questions from Perrspectives:
1. Do you agree with Pastor John Hagee that war with Iran is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy?
2. Doesn't your legendary temper make you too dangerous to be trusted with the presidency of the United States?
3. Doesn't your confusion regarding basic facts about the war in Iraq, including repeatedly citing a nonexistent Al Qaeda-Iran alliance, make you unfit for command?
4. Given your past adultery, should Americans consider you a moral exemplar of family values?
5. Doesn't your flip-flop on Jerry Falwell being an "agent of intolerance" show your opportunistic pandering to the religious right?
6. Given your wealth and privileged upbringing, aren't you - and not Barack Obama - the elitist?
7. What is your religion, really? And has the answer in the past changed as the South Carolina primary approached?
8. Didn't President Bush betray you with his signing statement on the Detainee Treatment Act? You claim to be against torture, but aren't you a hypocrite for voting "no" on the Senate waterboaring ban?
9. Why did you flip-flop on the Bush tax cuts you twice opposed? Why do you now support making them permanent for the wealthiest Americans who need them least?
10. With the economy tanking, shouldn't Americans be concerned over your past statements that "the issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should?"
Fair's fair. And, as John McCain surely knows, all's fair in love and war.
