Answers:

  • Which of the following best describes your position on the $200 billion surplus that is projected for this year?
    We should enact tax cuts to return this money to the American people. My plan will reduce the burden for all Americans who currently pay income tax.
  • Which of the following best describes your position on education?
    Many schools are squandering the resources of the federal government. I support providing school vouchers directly to parents, so that they can choose where their child goes.
  • Which of the following best describes your position on Social Security?
    The Social Security system is a financial time bomb. We need to get rid of it, or at the very least cut its benefits significantly.
  • What is your vision for the foreign policy of this country?
    I would focus on removing dictators like Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il from power. They threaten the stability of the world and perpetrate evil upon their people.
  • Do you have any thoughts on the Bill Clinton scandal that you would like to share?
    Bill Clinton was an embarrassment to the United States, and his impeachment was well-deserved. I believe that he should have been removed from office.
  • Do you believe that Elian Gonzalez should have been returned to Cuba?
    Returning Elian to Cuba was unconscionable. I did not support this decision by the Clinton Administration.
  • Did you support Bill Clinton's actions leading to the bombing of Serbia?
    I support our actions in this theatre. For minimal cost we were able to stop a potential genocide and put a dictator to justice.
  • Do you have any plans to change American tax policy?
    We need huge tax cuts across the board. Corporate, personal, and capital gains taxes should be slashed. This will further expand the economy through increases in investment.
  • What are your thoughts on the USS Cole bombing, which has killed 17 American sailors. How should we prevent such incidents of terrorism in the future?
    I support a strong, overwhelming response against whoever perpetrated this attack. Any government that harbors such terrorists should be overthrown, even if it requires the commitment of American troops.
  • Do you support additional gun control measures in this country? Can you give some specifics of what you want?
    We need to renew the Assault Weapons Ban and make it permanent. I support other measures such as trigger locks to reduce gun violence in this country.
  • Do you have any plans to help America's seniors better pay for vital prescription drugs?
    I don't think we need to make huge changes to a system that works for the majority of the people it is supposed to help.
  • The Kyoto Protocol would commit the United States (along with many other countries) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Would you support this plan as President?
    I would not. The Protocol exempts 80% of the world, including major population centers such as China and India, from compliance, and would cause serious harm to the US economy.
  • What is your position on American trade policy? How do you feel about the World Trade Organization or NAFTA?
    Our prosperity depends on the expansion of trade, especially with neighboring countries like Mexico and Canada. We should also expand our programs to support and retrain workers who are displaced.
  • Do you support the air strikes and sanctions that have been levied against Iraq, with the goal of weakening Saddam Hussein?
    The United States is much too entangled in the Middle East. We should pull back from the region and end sanctions in Iraq. I might remind people that these sanctions have killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children.
  • Do you believe it is appropriate for Hillary Clinton to run for Senate in the state of New York -- a state where she has never lived?
    This seems like another attempt by the Clintons to stretch the rules. Hillary Clinton is clearly from Arkansas and should seek office from that state if she so desires.
  • What do you think of Bill Clinton's recent action to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to reduce the costs of home heating, particularly in the northeast?
    Oil prices have spiked to nearly $40 a barrel. We need to help hard-working Americans in states like New Hampshire by making temporary allowances from our reserve.
  • Do you think that new regulations from Bill Clinton have unfairly hurt coal-producing states?
    Unfortunately, coal is one of the dirtiest forms of energy in existence. I don't see how we can continue to rely on it for the majority of America's energy needs.
  • What do you think of proposals to build a sophisticated missile defense system in Eastern Europe?
    This is a necessary step to protect our allies in Europe from current and future threats to their security. I will strongly support this as President.
  • What key points will you emphasize as you accept your party's nomination for President of the United States?
    I will ask the American people if they really want to vote for a third term of Bill Clinton, and remind them that I am the true conservative alternative. I will remind them of Al Gore's campaign finance violations and frequent misrepresentations to the American people.
  • What is your overall strategy for the 2000 campaign?
    We will emphasize that a vote for Al Gore is a vote for the scandals and liberal policies of the Clinton Administration. We offer a true, conservative alternative to the American people. I will discuss my evangelical Christianity and small-government beliefs.
  • Another day, another rally on the campaign trail. What do you prefer to talk about today?
    We need to attack Al Gore's views on the environment, on energy, on taxes, on spending, and on the right direction for our country. He is out of touch with the American people.
  • Where will you make the final stop(s) of your campaign before the voting begins?
    I will appear in Pennsylvania and spend the latter half of the day in Ohio. These are two huge states that we can bring into the fold.
  • It is November 2nd, only five days before the voting. News has just broken that you were arrested for drunken driving in 1976. What is your response?
    This could destroy my campaign in the final days. We must accuse the Gore campaign of leaking this to discredit my candidacy, and challenge their credibility and timing.
  • What is your opinion on the performance and conduct of our current President, Bill Clinton?
    Bill Clinton pushed through a tax increase, new gun control laws, a lot of environmental regulations, and has been subject to numerous fundraising and corruption allegations. Not to mention his infamous personal conduct in the White House.
  • Today you have announced the selection of Dick Cheney as running mate. Can you speak more about him?
    Dick Cheney is a principled conservative leader. The two of us will govern over a conservative, patriotic administration. Let's turn the page from the Clinton era.
