[First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate 2008 Guru: Following the Races.]
A few interesting questions were asked last night. Among the best: "Do you believe in evolution?" While simple, the answers reveal much about the answerers.
Here are five brief but provocative questions I hope will get asked in future GOP Presidential debates, questions that'd reveal much about the candidates' character and priorities.
- Would you be disappointed if your child told you that he/she was gay?
- Which is more important: keeping gays out of the military or preventing acts of terrorism?
- To preserve the sanctity of marriage, would you support a Constitutional ban on divorce? (This one is my favorite.)
- Would you say that a healthy, 40-year-old married mother of two has the exact same value in terms of human life as a frozen embryo?
- How do you reconcile supporting a "Culture of Life" with supporting the death penalty (for those that do support the death penalty)?
What intriguing, probing, thought-provoking questions would you ask of the ten old white guys who were on the stage last night?
