seems decent but then the second page /w questions comes in:
• Your father — who is campaigning for you as you did for him — co-sponsored a bill with Massachusetts liberal Democrat Barney Frank to eliminate most federal penalties for marijuana possession for personal use. Do you support such legislation?
• Talking about the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airplane, your father said, “They're terrorists because we're occupiers.” Do you agree?
• When asked about Guantánamo detainees, you said they “should mostly be sent back to their country of origin” or “drop 'em off back into Afghanistan.” Is that still your position?
• Grayson's campaign says you would not say whether you believed the U.S. government was responsible for the 9/11 attacks and quotes your campaign as saying it was a “complicated situation” with “truth on both sides.” Do you believe the U.S. had involvement in or responsibility for 9/11?
• America is sending Patriot anti-missile systems to Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait. Do you support this as prudent deterrence of Iran and defense of our oil supplies or oppose it as a “foreign entanglement” of the sort George Washington warned against?
• You advocate “term limits as a means of reining in career politicians and pork barrel spending.” Should five-term Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell be forbidden from a sixth?
• McConnell has used earmarks to bring Kentucky millions of federal dollars. Some — like $38 million for Louisville's 21st Century Parks — seem outside enumerated congressional powers. Is this “pork barrel spending?” What specific McConnell earmarks would you have opposed?
• Asked if you would support McConnell for Republican leader against South Carolina's Jim DeMint you replied, “I don't know that I could make a judgment.” Is that still your position?
• The White House predicts a record $1.6 trillion budget deficit for this fiscal year. What specific mix of revenue and spending changes would you make to balance the budget?
• Would you have opposed the Medicare prescription drug benefit for budgetary or constitutional reasons? The federal tobacco buy-out?
Kentuckians already know and trust the twice-elected Grayson. Paul remains a relative stranger. It is high time we got better acquainted.
like, wtf? sounds like a Grayson campaign ad.
