What one question would you ask Dean?

[wtmusic]

I'm going to the host reception for Dean tonight at the House of Blues. If I get a chance (unlikely, but...) what should I ask him?

[LuminousX]

1. What methods will you use to work with congressional Republicans?

[wtmusic]

5. excellent

I haven't really heard him address this before.

thanks :-)

[RandomKoolzip]

2. "Hey Howie: MAcs or PC's?"

No, I'm kidding...If you get a chance, ask him what his thoughts about a Universal Living Wage are. I'd like to see that phrase get some airplay, or at least have the frontrunner mention it.

[wtmusic]

8. Is that a global minimum wage?

[RandomKoolzip]

10. No, it should extend to space aliens too....

Of course, that's what I meant: A GLOBAL minimum wage...

3. Can you name three Fugees' songs?

That or what is his timber policy as it relates to trade with Canada?

[Jester_11218]

4. Hire me as your press secretary!

I have already asked his people to hire me to help them deal with the media.

I would ask him if I could be his press secretary!

6. What keeps you going in the face of adversity?

I think he'd say the people who are supporting him
but I'd love to what he would say.

[JNelson6563]

7. No question but

just tell him I'm sorry I haven't been able to call lately, so busy with the holidays and all....;-)

9. What's in the sealed records guv?

Embarassed much?

[wtmusic]

12. That is a good question

but as there may be personal information it's not a good question for a host function.

He's already answered the public side of that question--that the personal information of others should be respected. I believe there is probably personal messages and correspondence of Dean's as well, which are not necessarily incriminating but don't need a public airing.

In the Judicial Watch case a judge will decide, and we'll find out.

14. Ask him where he draws the line between the middle and upper middle class.

He said that he can't give the "middle class" the tax breaks they have now because he'd be accused of favoring the "upper middle class."

Ask him what he thinks the difference between the two is, and ask him what he thinks the diffference is between the middle class and the people who got the bulk of the Bush tax cuts.

Ask him if he thinks the super rich and large corporations will be paying enough in taxes even if we go back to 2000 rates.

[wtmusic]

16. Yep

All good points. As he says on his website, corporations came up with 40% of all tax revenues in 1973; in 2002 it was down to 16.8%.

Why can't corporations make up the diff for the middle class, however you want to define it?

11. Put a good word in for my band.

I've already gotten to Zephyr.

[dsc]

13. Ask him

If he could only do three things during his presidency what would they be?

[wtmusic]

15. Another good one

Dang, I'm going to have to corner him and keep the martinis coming! :-)

[Bill of Rights]

17. Please ask Dean

if he is going to distance himself from gays and lesbians, if he wins the nomination. (I am a lesbian). Thanks.

[Nazgul35]

18. Punch me in the gut...

go ahead...I can take it!!!!

[Nlighten1]

19. What would you do for a Klondike bar?
