Way to go Mary!
Mary from Tampa called C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning and asked an excellent question which received no response. And her question is valid across the spectrum of talk shows. Thanks, Mary! Way to represent Tampa.
“I would like to know why, if you had a car, ma’am, and it broke down and you took it to your dealer and it kept breaking down, and breaking down. Wouldn’t you change dealers? Why do you keep bringing these neocons on? You have got him on for 45 minutes this morning. Yesterday I listened to a lady from the so-called American Enterprise Institute. All she talked about is that we have to keep the war and armaments and all this stuff up.
“This failed! We have death in our country, these young people. We have declined – steep decline. I am near 70! We have deep debt! And you keep on bringing on failed policy. There are over 300 million people in this country, ma’am and I can assure you the people I know are all for America. They are all for bringing this country up, not to tear it down through war, debt, destruction. This young man – very young – sits here and keeps saying “we have to go over there and do this.” Why isn’t he in uniform? That is my one question.
“I believe in the constitution. I also believe in Christianity were you don’t go out and drop bombs on your enemy. You work it out with them. I would like you to tell me why we are still using this car dealer who has failed America and I would like to know why –”
He seemed at a loss for words after that.
And doesn’t even offer up a counter-argument. I mean, holy cow, at least he could try to baffle her with BS.
