Unfair questions for Mitt Romney

By unfair, I mean that I don't think other candidates have had to answer similar questions.

 

Abortion:

  1. George Stephanopoulos
    1. So do you now believe that abortion is murder?
    2. Should women who have abortions and doctors who perform them be jailed?
    3. If it's killing, why should states have leeway?
    4. What do you believe the punishment should be for an abortion?
  2. 2nd Debate
    1. What would you say to someone who lost a wife or a daughter to an illegal abortion if you named the Supreme Court justice who tipped the balance and over turned Roe v Wade?

 

This one wasn't so much unfair as stupid, and out of left field.

 

America:

  1. 1st Debate
    1. What do you dislike most about America?

 

These ones arn't unfair just to Mitt Romney but to all the republicans. I have not heard a reporter ask any of the democrats about the totally un-ethical Bill Clinton pardons.

  1. 1st Debate
    1. Should Scooter Libby should be pardoned?
    2. Which current cabinet official would you keep ?

 

They could totally ask any of the dems which Clinton cabinet official they would bring back.

 

Wolf got into trouble over this one with Dick Cheney also. Click on the question to see how that went over.

  1. Wolf Blitzer:
    1. Do you want to tell our viewers why you disagree with Mary Cheney?

 

Mitt and Ann Romney's Relationship:

    1. Did you and Ann have pre-marital sex?

 

Has any other candidate been asked about this? Nope. It's OK to ask Mormons different questions.

 

 

Religion

  1. 1st Debate
    1. What do you say to bishops who deny Communion to elected officials who support abortion rights? (Not too bad, but gosh).
  2. Mike Allen
    1. Why are key tenets of your faith still misunderstood ? The tenets of every faith are misunderstood. Big deal. Don't ask a politician.
  3. How is your church so successful in getting its young people to follow its teachings? Ask the church dude. You don't really want to know.
  4. Brian Lamb
    1. Who was Brigham Young? Has Rudy had to tell about the Pope Pios the 3rd?
    2. Do you have an evangelical problem? Brian, do you have a stupid problem?
  5. Wolf Blitzer
    1. How do you deal with the fact that you are a Mormon? How do you deal with the fact that you are an idiot? How do you deal with the fact that your first name is "wolf"?
  6. Jay Leno
    1. Is their enough diversity within the Mormon Church ? Does Mike Huckabee get asked about Baptist in the South supporting slavery? The Mormon church did have racist policies more recently but it never supported slavery. That is part of the conflict it had in Missouri. Mitt Romney's dad was one of the few governors (especially Republican) who actually marched with Martin Luther King. Rudy hasn't been asked if the Catholic church has a molestation problem, but because Romney belongs to a religious minority, that isn't yet politically correct to defend, you can treat him different, and make him explain the stupid things his church has done, but you don't do the same to other candidates...
  7. Chris Wallace
    1. Are you a cultist? Chris, are you an ass?
