  1. I’m warmed up already.  Here’s one I’ll give his staff some time to prepare for:

    Representative Tancredo, you continue to make Social Security Reform a primary focus of your efforts in Washington.  You say both:
    No changes in Social Security will reduce or in any way alter the benefits of current or near future beneficiaries.”
    and:
    I am 100% behind the President in this endeavor and look forward to the final recommendation of the Commission.”

    Yet the President’s final plan requires cuts to existing Social Security benefits.

    Do you support the plan for which President Bush spent 60 days touring the country earlier this year?

    If so, how do you square its benefit cuts and massive up-front costs with your guarantees and your approach to fiscal discipline?

    If not, what is your alternate proposal?

  2. Questions:
    1. How have the hurricanes affected the drive for border security and illegal immigration reform?
    2. What 6th District earmarks and other pork are you offering to cut for a year or two?
    3. Which earmarks and pork will you try to protect? Is TRex at risk?
    4. Tom DeLay hasn’t been much of a friend to you. Do you support Roy Blunt for permanent majority leader, or someone else?
    5. You support the “Fair Tax” movement. What are the chances that anything like it will be enacted during the next five years?
    6. What kind of federal efforts to help hurricane and other disaster victims do you support? Which ones do you oppose?
    7. Of all the major GOP presidential prospects, which one is closest to you on border security and illegal immigration?

    Don

  3. Just a reminder to Kareoke Hero and others that when the Q&A begins on Oct. 18, questions and comments similar to that will be immediately removed. Say what you will here, but in the Q&A please disagree respectfully.

  4. I have to agree with Kareoke Hero albeit in a respectful mannor as names do not need to be called to articulate the point.  Tom Tancredo said he would bomb Muslim holy sites if there was another terrorist attack on U.S. soil and also was one of NINE congressional members to vote against the hurricane relief.  While these ideals may be okay to some, they are too extreme and do not represent the values of the family oriented and giving 6th congressional district.  Am I off base here?

  5. CATT,

    Tancredo is a tool of the devil.

    But in so many great English and European stories, the protagonist outwits the devil with clever words, leaving him gasping in the dust while our hero walks away with his new bride (or treasure, or oxen), not even having broken a sweat.

    There will be plenty of softballs thrown to Representative Tancredo on the 18th.  Yet we will stay polite while ensuring he is asked some pointed questions about his decidedly out-of-the-mainstream ideas.  I look forward to it.

  6. There’s nothing wrong with asking tough questions, and we’d encourage everyone to do so. But you can do it without being insulting, and that’s all we ask.

  7. Tancredo? Out of the mainstream? 

    Oh yeah, politicians who know that their right and then have the audacity to tell people why, yup, that’s pretty radical.

    CATT, you aren’t allowed to vote, are you?

    Beaupreznit, you don’t foam at the mouth do you?
