So, Do You Have Any Military Experience?

I got an e-mail from the John Kerry campaign titled “What would you ask John Kerry” saying how if I set up a house party, I could ask a question to John Kerry. So, I put it to you, my dear readers, to think of what would be the perfect question to ask him. I’ll pick the best one, and the author of it gets to ask me a question (yes, I’m tired of Frank Answers™, so you only get to ask me questions by winning a contest).
So, what would you ask John Kerry?

  1. Senator, as the state of Massachusetts I was wondering if you would be returning your salary to me. Considering you’ve missed 78% of the votes here. I was also wondering if you would be stepping down as Senator once you accept the Democraptic nomination. Or mebbe you’re just to haughty and french-looking for that?

  2. Mr. Heinz-Kerry,
    You have said that as president, you would create 10 million new jobs for Americans. Does that mean American citizens, or North Americans is general? I mean, do you plan to create a bunch of jobs for us, or illegal aliens?

  3. In your appearance before the Senate in the 70’s you stated as fact that you engaged in war crimes in Vietnam. If this was not true, then why should Americans elect someone who’d lie about that? Conversely, if it is true, then why would Americans elect a war criminal?
    As a follow-up…since you approve of the U.S. being subject to the U.N….then will you present yourself to the ICC in the Hague to answer your war crime charges?

  4. Mr. Kerry, How do you reconcile the fact that you have testified before Congress that you were an accessory to war crimes during your time in Viet Nam yet you incessantly mention that you served there and use it as a source of pride when comparing yourself to the current president?
    If you didn’t have the moral conviction to stand up to war criminals, why should the American public believe you’ll have the moral conviction to do what is right (not what is politically expedient or what focus groups/polls indicate) if you’re elected president?
    (OK, so that’s 2 questions. Sue me…)

  5. Senator Kerry, is it true that you are indeed the illegitimate son of Herman Munster & Gladys Kravitz?
    And if I may follow up, will you enact forced famines like your mentor Joseph Stalin?

  6. Should you become the President, and Dan Rather shows up at the White House in a blue dress holding a pizza and says “you’re hair looks very French today, may I come in?”, your response would be what?

  7. Senator, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck would chuck wood? Alternatively, since you spend more on your hair than most third world nations spend on food, why do you still look like one of those angry trees from the Wizard of Oz?

  8. Since you have indicated on national TV categorically (Russert- Meet the Press) that the war on terror should be primarily one of intelligence and law enforcement, and since trying that in the 90’s resulted in as many dead as at Pearl Harbor, why should we expect a return to this policy to result in anything more than more american dead, and dead HERE? Please be EXACT in how you expect to have this result in a different end.

  9. Senator, with the fact that your head is bolted on, will you be willing to stick your neck out to round up the Iraqi scum responsible for the beheadings? And will you utilize your extensive 4-month Viet Nam skills to do so?

  10. Senator, in one of your commercials you say the country is headed in the wrong direction because 43 million people don’t have health care [insurance]. Given that a greater number of people today have benefits than ever before in the history of the country, would you consider the “right way” to be the removal of these benefits?

  11. “Let me begin by telling you I am a Republican, and I voted for George W Bush in the last election, and you’re welcome. Now… Hey, wait up! I didn’t get to ask my question!!”

  12. Since I’m sure that he wouldn’t have a comprehensible answer to any question I asked, why waste my time with a question that I really want asked? So here goes my rude, let’s see him turn red and start to bluster, question:
    Sen. Kerry, why do you prefer France to the US?

  13. I have several questions:
    Senator Kerry, you claim that the Iraq war is the worst foreing policy debacle in the last 200 years of American history; did you forget that you served in Vietnam?
    Senator Kerry, you keep on claiming that we are in the worst economic quagmire since the great depression; how does our current record economic growth, 1.4 million jobs created since August, near zero inflation, near zero interest rates, all despite the Clinton dot-com bubble, the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Center, and two wars, compare to the Carter Administration?
    Senator Kerry, you keep calling for Bush to reach out to the “international community” in the war on terror, even though 15 of 19 NATO countries, half the EU, and a total coalition larger than that of the first Gulf War are all behind the U.S.; does this mean that, in essence, what you really want is for all U.S. foreign policy to be approved by FRANCE?
    Senator Kerry, you keep reminding us of your service in Vietnam while deriding Bush for his service in the Alabama National Guard; didn’t we lose Vietnam, while Alabama today remains free from Soviet aggression?
    Senator Kerry, you seem fixated on the unemployment “crisis” under Bush; how is the national unemployment rate of 5.6% today worse than the national unemployment rate of 5.6% at the end of Clinton’s first term?
    Senator Kerry, you complain about the 43 million Americans without health care and desire a socialist-style universal health care system similar to Canada and Europe; are you suggesting that the thousands of wealthy Canadians and Europeans who come to the United States to spend money on our capitalist-based system when they are unable to receive the same level of quality at home are somehow in error?
    Senator Kerry, can you point to a single action in your long Senate career that actually acomplished anything of historical significance?
    Senator Kerry, it is clear that if you lose this election that Hillary Clinton is set up as the savior of your party in 2008, and if you win, her hopes of ever being President will suffer tremendously; do you really expect the Clintons to do anything at all to help you win this election?
    Senator Kerry, you continuously comment that we need to end our dependence on Arab oil; does this mean that you will support drilling in ANWR, coastal oil exploration, wind farms off the coast of Massachusets, a resurgence of coal, the upgrading of American refineries and power plants, or the use of nuclear power, or is your only solution to raise taxes on SUV’s to the point that only someone with $600 million in the bank can own one?
    Senator Kerry, do you own a tie that isn’t pink or lime green?
    Senator Kerry, you have yet to articulate a clear and definitive stance on gay marriage; are you confident that if you don’t give overt support of gay marriage you will cater to mainstream America knowing that the gay lobby will give you unconditional support simply because you are not George W. Bush?
    Senator Kerry, you continue to make a big deal out of the fact that you served in Vietnam while the President was only in the Guard; has your view of military service changed since 1992, when you lectured that Americans should put Vietnam behind them and support Bill Clinton, who avoided military service altogether, going to the Soviet Union while the President flew dangerous missions in fighter jets over the Artic Circle, keeping us safe from Soviet Attack while the bulk of our military was bogged down in Vietnam?
    Senator Kerry, many of your supporters would like to see you run with John McCain as your running mate, calling for a “unity ticket” to end partisan politics; since McCain will never run with you, how about if you instead take a lead in the Senate to work with Republicans instead of against them, creating a “unity legislature” to end partisan politics?
    Speaking of McCain, Senator Kerry, since McCain is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-war and pro-capitalist, and since many of the people who wanted him to be President seem to now be supporting you, do you feel pressured to take on any of those extreme right-wing stances?
    Senator Kerry, Ralph Nader is running, asking democrats who oppose the war to turn to him because you voted for the war; in order to avoid another Nader spoiler like 2000, how will you cater to the extreme left-wing?
    Senator Kerry, you keep saying you aren’t going to raise taxes, yet you also keep saying you want to repeal Bush’s tax cuts for the rich; what, exactly, is the difference between repealing a tax cut and raising taxes?
    Senator Kerry, you seem to like being compared to John F. Kennedy: you note that you have the same initials, you recall your childhood as a guest in the Kennedy compound, you note that you are both Navy men who went to war, then went to law school, then became Massachusets Senators; what do you think of the facts that President Kennedy cut taxes, spent money on space exploration, fought communism, and appointed his brother Attorney General for the purpose of fighting the unions who were corrupting business in America?
    Senator Kerry, you oppose American “unilateralism” in attacking Iraq without the support of France; do you now regret supporting the unilateral American attacks on Iraq in 1998 and Kosovo in 2000?
    Senator Kerry, in all your speeches, you say you are going to solve all the problems of the Bush Administration; what, exactly, are you going to do in order to achieve this result?
    Senator Kerry, in recalling the battle where you won the Silver Star, you say that after an initial fire-fight, you used a .50 BMG to gun down a Vietnamese soldier in the back while he was retreating; how does this compare to American prison guards who took photographs of terrorists in silly poses?
    Senator Kerry, do you offer any solution to any problem in the world other than repealing tax cuts and reaching out the international community?
    Senator Kerry, I live in a state where liberal democrats like yourself run nearly every government office from the governor’s chair down to the local city council; my state is one of only four that is still on an economic downslide, does this mean that you want the other 46 to follow suit?
    Senator Kerry, will you just hurry up and lose already so I can get on with the next four years?
    There–one of those ought to win.

  14. In the posse scene in the movie First Blood (“we’re not huntin’ Kerry — Kerry’s huntin’ us!”) would you have “screwed-up” and left them all alive like Rambo did?

  15. Question: What country is the only country in history that coninuously relies on other nations to bale it out of trouble, only to turn around and spit in the face of its liberators? (If you need some help, it smells of cheese and rhymes with “can’ts”!)

  16. You said you would create 10 million new jobs in the next four years. We are on a pace, despite 9/11, wars, etc, to create 14 million new jobs in the next 4 years (largely due to Bush administration initiatives). Why would you cut 4 million new jobs out of the economy in the next 4 years (putting 4 million people out of work)?

  17. Dear Mr. Kerry,
    Will you apologize to Andy Serkis for blatantly ripping off his portrayal of Gollum/Smeagol to use during your campaign?
    P.S.
    Please do not blame your loss on the “nasty hobbitses”.

  18. Senator Kerry, you recently (like when you decided to run for President in Florida) revealed that you are not Irish (like you’ve implied for years), but are in fact partly Jewish. Why do you believe electing someone who is partly Jewish will endear us to Islamofascists and, perhaps even more questionably, to the French?
