I Have A Dream -

Lie-Detecting Our Leaders

Gee, wouldn't it be wonderful if, instead of wasting time on

televised presidential debates, one of the networks hosted a reality

TV show called " Lie-Detecting The Presidential Candidates? "

Can you imagine the ratings? Better than the recent, rigged superbowl

game between the Steelers and Seahawks. Maybe Maury Povich or Jerry

Springer could host it.

I'd love to hear hard-hitting questions asked about the past lives

and the future intentions of each candidate. But most of all, I'd

like to know who or what each person serves.

" Senator McCain, if you were elected president, would you continue

to blindly serve the military-industrial complex, as you appear to

have been doing for the past 20 years? Have you ever met an imperial

war you didn't like? "

" Senator Clinton, every president in recent memory has perjured

himself in taking the Oath of Office. If you were elected--as the

first woman president--would you permit yourself to be indicted and

convicted if you broke your sworn oath to uphold the US

Constitution? "

No marshmallow questions, please, Mr. Springer. No Fox News-style

flattery, Mr. Povich, no fawning or drooling on the candidates. We

Americans deserve an honest emperor.

The Top Ten questions I would like to have asked of any perspective

presidential candidate are:

1--Would you start any pre-emptive wars, like the most recent emperor

who rigged (and won) the last two elections?

2-If you started a war (or wars) against a peaceful nation that has

not attacked the US, would you allow yourself to be handcuffed and

led out of office?

3-Would you permit snooping and spying on average American citizens

who exercise their First Amendment rights?

4-Would you promptly defend any high government official who betrayed

not only your trust but the trust of the American people?

5-Do you intend to serve special interests, allowing them to make

obscene profits through no-bid contracts?

6--After you appoint cronies who lack adequate qualifications to high

positions, will you accept the responsibility of their failure? And

How exactly will you bear the responsibility?

7-Will you seek special protection for people in your administration

who have committed high crimes and misdemeanors?

8-Will you hinder investigations into high crimes committed by those

you have appointed, or by those government officials who work in your

administration, or by yourself?

9-Will you do everything in your power to use your high position to

enrich or empower select close friends and associates?

10-Finally: you are caught lying, swindling, torturing and attacking

small countries while pontificating about high principles. Will you

admit your utter incompetence and resign--or will you commit some

terrorist act to create a diversion?

If our candidates answered yes to any (or all) of the above questions

then wouldn't he or she be perfectly qualified to run as American

Emperor, either as a Republican or Democrat? Because, if you browse

the ten breaches of public trust above, you will observe that our

current president has broken every example.

Stalinist and corrupt - but no more corrupt than our presidential

candidates.
