Did some searches for the best cut to the chase questions to ask candidates. Didn't find what I was looking for. If you are in a position to ask a local, state or national candidate, a question...what would it be? You usually have little time and only 1 question to help you decide if THIS candidate is the Tea Party/912 Project candidate.

I'm going to have a group meeting at which we will try to come up with 10 of the best. What would you ask?

How can leftist legislation that’s already put in place at all political levels really be successfully overturned and then successfully replaced by free market solutions to all issues?

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the CFR? A ‘yes’ answer should disqualify the person.

How many guns do you own?

List three people that had an influence on your life, and why? (The answer better include at least one relative, coach, teacher, boss, preacher that knew the candidate by his first name.)

How many friends do you owe favors to, and will you be repaying them with positions they are only qualified for because they are your friend?

Had a local politician ask me today...if I was going to vote for superintendent...or whatever he was running for.

I asked him what party he belonged to...I already knew the answer...but wanted to hear him say it.

I just nodded my head..and brushed him off.

I drove off....but went back. He was gone...but I was going to ask him who he voted for..McCain or Obama. And did he think only Democrats CARE?

He's got a bumper sticker that say's "Democrats Care"....

The guy is lizard like....

I live in a small town...I will meet him again.

Do you believe that citizens have an individual right to keep and bear arms for their own protection without interference from the government?

My one question would be “Is the Government FROM the people or FOR the people?”
