What do FReepers think I should ask them?
me,myself, &I | Self

Posted on 08/24/2015 10:01:21 AM PDT by John 3_19-21

Attending Congressman Jeff Duncan's 5th. annual Faith and Values BBQ/fund raiser this evening.Scheduled speakers include: Dr. Ben Carson,
Scott Walker, and my personal favourite; Sen. Ted Cruz. I more than likely will not receive any one-on-one time with these gentlemen but if given the chance to ask any or all of these a question,
I respectfully ask my much more learned FReeper colleges what best and poignant question(s) to ask?

Ask them why “Deez Nuts” has a bigger twitter following than they do.

Did you perchance mean STOP considering those on welfare as part of the work force? Or am I going wrong?


Sorry, but you are wrong, since those on welfare are not counted as unemployed, they, by default, must be being considered gainfully employed. If all the people between 18 and 68 on welfare were counted as unemployed, the rate would be in the 40's.

Understand?

WHO will head up your team to select replacements for ALL Federal Judges and Prosecutors, to be appointed and up for the Senate to approve on DAY ONE ?

WHO will lead the team to PROSECUTE Obama for TREASON ?

Those on welfare were never considered part of the work force? Got it.

Well Jim, if they are not part of the work force why aren’t they counted in the unemployment numbers? Is there a third category, more than employed or unemployed?

You sound like one of them GOP folks, or worse yet, one of those democrats who claim that I wouldn’t understand.

Wow what a great event!

Up first was South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan. I am so thankful to have this Godly, courageous man representing my family.

Scott Walker next - He seemed to drone on and on. "I've done this, I've done that. Lots of buzz words and soundbyte-type phrases Repeal O-care, Keystone, lowering taxes, common core, yada yada yada.
He came across to me as if he was pandering to a bunch of yokels.

Ben Carson: It felt as if he was having a personal conversation with each one of us.

A very intelligent man. I love his blunt statement on Mooselimb extremism. He said we need to expend every resource we have to take them out now! before they can hurt us.

He was funny yet focused, humble and honest. He spoke of the divisiveness the political and media hacks have fostered in our country. "We are not The Divided States of America we are the United States of America!

Ben also spoke of previous challenges in our nations history and how just before the end Americans have always woken up and together made the difference.

Carson went WAY up on my candidate list.

Next was Ted Cruz:Gave kudos to Jeff Duncan and said he was rare and had a spine, something lacking in Washington.

Made some funny jokes about Hillary.

He spoke very loud and with a of of passion. He laid out his first day as President itinerary:Rescinding every illegal Obama executive order. Prosecuting Planned Parenthood.

He talked about getting rid of the IRS and instilling the Flat tax. He suggested sending all 90,000 IRS employees to the border to stop illegals.

He encouraged all attendees to get involved and make this grass roots movement into a complete victory.

Cruz did not disappoint. He is on fire and stoking up a lot of energy.

Noticably missing were Limpsey Graham and Lackey Haley.

Sorry Crip was not able to ask the question.

You sound like one of them GOP folks, or worse yet, one of those democrats who claim that I wouldn’t understand.

And you sound like one of those folks who wants to argue for the sake of arguing (it CAN be entertaining). So let me clarify my position. I consider the "work force" to be anyone above legal age who is capable of working, regardless of the type of work. I don't include the retired or physically/mentally incapacitated. So that includes the majority of welfare recipients. You appear to claim that welfare collectors are not counted as part of the work force, which I reiterated to you by saying "Those on welfare were never considered part of the work force? Got it."

Then you ask why they aren't counted, as if I made it so or approved of it? Hey, they aren't counted for the exact reason you stated; it would increase the numbers the regime wants concealed!

makes no difference what you consider the work force, after all who are you but a serf? The US G0Vt defines it as 18-68, so that comrade is the definition of work force, I really don’t think your “I thinks”s will change that.

Oh no!

So.. when Carson or any doctor addresses you by YOUR job title, get back to me.

"How many houses do you own?" (and a follow-up)

"Can you see Russia from any of them?"

The real rate is high 30’s. Government manipulation has lowered it to 5%.
