Could you discuss your reasons for "liking all of" labor protections in the Marianas?

There are several plans and thoughts out there on the taxpayer funded children's health, could you provide the one you would support? And why?

What exactly do you think needs reformed in campaign financing, and how would you accomplish this? What would a Cusick representative provide as input to the bill?


Thanks!

These are really good questions JPC, I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say on them.

Well I am not going to write a book about those things when I said I like them.

If he (or you) ask some vague and general purpose question then a vague general purpose answer is the appropriate reply.

You all can look up the links to info and arguements on those issues as well as I can - and if you or he want to dig into it then do the work.

As a Congressman then I would be asked to agree with or to modify or to script a Bill on each or any subject and nobody knows now what such a Bill would look like or read like and so my reply that I like and support those issues is really a straight up answer.

Each of those issues listed are much like my position as saying I am pro-life and therefore I am saying that I will support a Bill that reflects pro-life.

So when I say I like those issue positions that were named then that means I will support any Bills that promote those issues.

Those are not my campaign platform but they are important anyway and so if anyone wants specifics then they need to ask specifics, and I am not going to look up the links to back up the vague questions posted by a poster that does not understand what he is asking.

I hope this helps.

Mr. Cusick, no one asked for a book. Just a brief clarification of your answers.

If he (or you) ask some vague and general purpose question then a vague general purpose answer is the appropriate reply.

I am not sure I follow you. The questions were:

Importing or not importing prescription drugs? What types of controls? What types of drugs? {seems pretty specific to me}

Could you discuss your reasons for "liking all of" labor protections in the Marianas? {As in, what do you specifically believe needs protected, and how does that apply to the fifth district of Maryland}

There are several plans and thoughts out there on the taxpayer funded children's health, could you provide the one you would support? And why? {specifically, which one would you support - and why would you support that specific one?}

What exactly do you think needs reformed in campaign financing, and how would you accomplish this? What would a Cusick representative provide as input to the bill?
{Again, seems pretty specific - nothing vague at all}

You all can look up the links to info and arguements on those issues as well as I can - and if you or he want to dig into it then do the work.

But, we're asking for your opinions as a candidate for office. We can certainly come to our own conclusions as to our postions, we're asking for yours if you're asking for people's votes.

As a Congressman then I would be asked to agree with or to modify or to script a Bill on each or any subject and nobody knows now what such a Bill would look like or read like and so my reply that I like and support those issues is really a straight up answer.

It was a straight vague answer. We're looking to see how a candidate approaches problems. And, certainly, how much of a grasp that candidate has on the issues he/she would face once in office. Some of these issues are settled, some are not (of course, as a well-schooled candidate for office, you already know that). But, how you would have approached the one settled, or how you would handle the unsettled ones are the questions of interest to the public regarding a candidate.

When I say I like those issue positions that were named then that means I will support any Bills that promote those issues.

Positions weren't named. Positions were requested from you, the candidate. The issue was raised, we're seeking your positions on the issues.[/quote]Those are not my campaign platform but they are important anyway and so if anyone wants specifics then they need to ask specifics, and I am not going to look up the links to back up the vague questions posted by a poster that does not understand what he is asking.[/quote]I have added the word specific to the questions so you can see the specificity in the question. I'll be awaiting your answers.







Probably for a long, long, loong time.

You would make a terrible reporter.

Your post is mixed up and confusing and beating the same thing that I already gave answer to.

So you can put your negative garbage to this but I really am trying to deal with your stuff.

There is still time for you to register as a candidate too if you want to promote your own prefered issues and your own agenda, but you are not my campaign manager and your questioning is confused.

Okay, I confused you with too many issues at once, clearly.

Let me try again, and see if you can follow. I'm sure you'll be dealing with other incompetant question askers, so this will be good practice for you.

You recently voiced support for taxpayer funded children's health care. Could you provide the public with the proposal that most fits approval? Which of the proposed plans do you support?


See, I'm trying to be specific, like you asked. I am asking specifically which plan or bill that exists you would give your support to, which one you would agree to.


Thanks!

Come on JPC. I really want to know! I know where I stand on these things, but how am I going to know if you are the candidate I want to vote for if you don't answer questions on important issues. (Outside of your stance on greed growth and abortion, I know where you are on those issues)

At least answer this one, since it is a big issue right now.

Where do you stand on the taxpayer supported Children's health insurance? Do you think it should be the taxpayers responsibility?

Since Bush vetoed the previous attempt at such a Bill then the issue is one for the next Congress and the next President and no one knows what that will be now.

So if one of the Republican candidates win the Presidency it will be unlikely that any such Bill will happen for the next four years unless some how the Democrats win a large majority in both the House and Senate so pretending that I have the answer for an issue like that would be nieve.

If a Democrat wins the Presidency then such a Bill is far more likely and it will depend on which Democrat because Hillary has a different plan then does Obama then Edwards and the others.

Therefore that issue before the 5th District campaign is moot, IMO.

I like Obama better than Hillary and I say Edwards is the best candidate of them all, and I like Kucinich too link.

So, you don't believe it's an important enough issue to justify the potential representative of this area to take a stand on a specific postion. Gotcha!

Next question:

What exactly do you think needs reformed in campaign financing, and how would you accomplish this? What would a Cusick representative provide as input to the bill?
