You can’t do with just ten:

Culture
Do you believe there is a distinctive American Culture? If so, do you believe it is worth protecting? If “yes,” what means are you wiling to use to protect it?
If “yes,” Does illegal immigration pose a threat to it? Does the allowing immigrants from from locations like Africa, the Middle East and Haiti threaten it?

Limited government
Do you believe there is a limit to the power and authority of the Federal Government? Has it exceeded that limit? If not, what would it take for it to exceed that limit? How much of America’s economy is it entitled to during peacetime?
What government agencies, bureaucracies, and civil service empires do think this country could benefit from eliminating?

Entitlements
Do you believe that Welfare is a right or entitlement that some people are entitled to at the expense of others?
Do you believe that Health Care is a right that people are entitled to at the expense of others?
If the answer to either of the questions is “yes,” what limits exist to these entitlements?

National Security:
Do you believe that Terrorism is a military or law enforcement issue? Do you think that terrorists and “enemy combatants” should be tried for their crimes by a civilian court or a military tribunal?
Do you believe that un-uniformed combatants such as those in Afghanistan, are lawful combatants?
Will you leave Rules of Engagement to the local commanders, or will you micromanage from Washington?
Do you believe that the lives of American soldiers are more precious than the lives of foreign civilians, esp. those who interfere with there operations or are used as human shields?

Civil Rights
Do you believe that deviant sexual behavior deserves same Civil Rights protection formerly disadvantaged minorities currently enjoy?
Do you believe that those minorities still need Civil Rights protections?
Is there a “wall” between the Church and State? If expressing religious belief different from “establishing a religion?”

Gun Rights
Do you believe that the right to keep and bear arms belongs to individual or the several states? Is the National Guard the militia? What limits may be placed on the right to keep and bear arms and by whom?

You are all giving me great questions. But, out of all the postings....which 10 are the BEST. A questioner will NEVER have more than a chance to ask two questions. But, I may be present at many forums (I plan on it) and have a chance to eventually ask many questions that get to the heart of the issue.

I listened to a local radio program host asking questions of a candidate for Governor, and three candidates for our 1st District Federal Senatorial race. He asked, “How’s the campaign going?” “Where did you go today?”

Duh.....get me some meat!!! I needed questions that would help me get rid of the chaff and find the Constitutional Conservative.

How's this for meat?

The Dept of Energy was created under Jimmy Carter with the express purpose of ENDING our dependence on foreign oil. It's been there for more than 30 years, sucked up many billions of dollars and totally failed in its mission. How can you justify its continuation?
