Johnson should be Huntsman. I mixed his name up with someone else.

4 questions I’d love to ask:

Regardless of current law and court opinions, in your personal opinion- do pregnant women have the right to kill their unborn child at any time and for any reason?

Will you allow open homosexuality in the military?

Name 500 billion in actual cuts, not decreases to planned increase/not saving thru innovations, not reducing interest payments by accounting methods...but ACTUAL CUTS you would make to the current budget.

Regardless of legality, do you personally feel placing a mosque in a building struck by a 9-11 aircraft is proper?

The PA pubbie party threw Santorum overboard. The chairman of the party here is a freaking idiot and will go to the highest bidder, which in one case was murtha, one case rendell, and the other was casey. I don’t know why he is here.

I care about one thing. Will they repeal Obamacare? The answer is “YES” or they will not get my vote.

They may not get my vote for other reasons but that issue is a complete non-starter. Obamacare HAS to go.
