- Why would you support a health care law that requires people to report to the IRS what they do for health care but then vilify President Bush for wiretapping terrorist suspects?
- Why would you rant about profligate Republican spending from 2000-2008 but then support trillions in new government programs and deficit spending under Obama?
- Why did you rail against Republican threats of a "nuclear option" to bypass the filibuster in 2005 (to confirm judges) but then support the effectively the same tactic to pass health care in 2010?
- Why did you harp about the Iraq war for 4 straight years, but now that Obama is president (and has "stayed the course" for the most part) you are silent? Why no calls to bring the troops home anymore?
- Why do you care about 18,000 who supposedly die for lack of health insurance (this has been debunked) but you stand idly by while the lives of 1.2 million preborn children are aborted?
- Why is the secret ballot sacrosanct for general elections, but not for union elections? Why is it okay for big labor unions to support political causes but big companies should be barred from doing so?
- Why was Karl Rove style politics wrong during the Bush years, but Chicago style politics is just fine in 2010? Why isn't Obama called out by prominent democrats and reporters for 180 degree turnabouts on two major campaign promises to improve transparency and bipartisanship? (Have you seen his "50 plus one" statements before being elected?)
- Why is big-anything bad (big pharma, big oil, big banks, etc.) except when talking about the government?
- Why does your love of free speech stop at the doors of Fox News and Clear Channel Communications?
- Why do you claim to be rights activists while attacking the 1st, 2nd, ninth, and tenth amendments?
