Chris Matthews' Pointless Debate Questions
May 6, 2011
The king of irrelevant inquiries.

Question to Mr. Candidate, do you believe in evolution? Are you a fundamentalist who believes in the Bible as written? Has man been around millions of years or, say, just about 6,000? It's a key question, because it raises the matter of whether you believe in science or not. A question for the fundamentalists who give that answer, why do we conduct health experiments for people on animals if there's no relation? Do you believe man affects climate change? There's a good one. Do you wish to outlaw abortion and if so what should be the punishment? If having an abortion doesn't deserve punishment, why are you pushing to outlaw it? Do you support a return to Don't Ask, Don't Tell? There's a good one. Do you support removing Medicare from existence and replacing it with a subsidy? I'm just guessing, but you probably know the Tea Party approved answers to all those questions. If you're not prepared to give those Tea Party answers, if you're one of those Republican moderates out there, don't bother to bring your toothbrush, you won't be at this jamboree for long.
