These are not all original, but I admit that I cannot refer to the specific origin of those which are derived from someone else's work:
1) Senator Kerry, you support the current Democratic filibuster in the U.S. Senate against a number of President Bush's judicial nominees. If you are elected President, Republicans in the Senate will almost certainly return the favor. What, if anything, are you prepared to do to break the log-jam in judicial nominees and, are you willing to give Republicans the same say in choosing Federal judges that you and your party have demanded from President Bush? By the same token, if Republicans filibuster your nominees because they consider them "out of the mainstream," "too liberal," or whatever, how are you going to justify your approach when you have already defended the Senate's right to filibuster judicial nominees.
2) Senator Kerry, Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., recently indicated that you had assured him that if you are elected President you will immediately begin drilling in ANWAR in Alaska and throughout the United States. This, despite repeated promises to filibuster any legislation that would authorize such drilling in the U.S. Senate. Is Hoffa lying? If so, what did you really promise the Teamsters? If Hoffa is telling the truth, how do intend to begin drilling in ANWAR without the consent of Congress and how do you reconcile that drilling with your long-term stated opposition to it?
3) Senator Kerry, you recently suggested that Americans should be cautious about Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion," in order to avoid anti-semitism. Do you think that any American who believes in the gospel account of the crucifixion of Jesus is an anti-semite?
4) Senator Kerry, you have indicated that you "support the second amendment" and that you are a gun owner and a hunter. What does the second amendment mean? What, if any, laws does it prohibit? What, if any, laws does it allow? Will you insist that your judicial nominees also support the second amendment?
5) By the same token, Senator Kerry, do you support the right of law-abiding gun owners to CARRY concealed firearms for self-defense if they pass a criminal background check and undergo some training in the proper use and carry of firearms? Same question, but suppose that citizens went through the same training and qualifications as required of the police.
6) Senator Kerry, do you still believe that certain U.S. military personnel who served in Vietnam should be tried as war criminals?
7) Senator Kerry, you have been critical of President Bush for causing the Haiti crisis. What, if anything, would you have done different?
8) And finally (for today), Senator Kerry, what, if anything would you do differently to catch Osama Bin Laden?
