Politics T/F Game

[Denny Crane]

Answer the T/F question in the last post in the thread, then ask a new one. A question asked previously may be repeated.

T/F: It's a good idea to raise taxes in the current economic climate

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

False.

The election will be entirely determined by one theme: The Economy.

 

[Denny Crane]

False, it's about Keating 5 vs. Ayers (these days)

Another bailout package will be passed, perhaps before the next president takes office

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

False. (do you want explanations or not?).

The dollar is getting stronger and this trend will continue.

True, there's always a flight to quality in troubled times. Explain if you like!

T/F: escalating the war in Afghanistan is a good idea.

T/F: escalating the war in Afghanistan is a good idea.

False. Transporting troops by traditional means is more energy efficient than by escalators.

T/F: Sarah Palin will wear a red wool blouse with a black skirt during one of her public appearances over the next month.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

True.


Government healthcare will increase the waiting time to have a surgical procedure performed.

 

[Dumpy]

True.


Government healthcare will increase the waiting time to have a surgical procedure performed.

That's a trick question. Government-provided healthcare will not be mandatory, so the far majority of people will not be affected by it. For many of those that do subscribe to government-provided health care, the alternative would be no health care at all, so I guess in that sense it "increases" the time, because the surgery otherwise would not be performed at all.

T/F: When asked what it means to be a "maverick," Sarah Palin will take a minute to collect herself, and then answer, "I care deeply about people, Katie."

 

[Denny Crane]

False, she'll talk about how she took on her own party in Alaska and the oil companies.

T/F: Whoever is the next president will be unable to deliver on the vast majority of their campaign proposals, especially with the economic situation as it is

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

False. I don't think they are promising much to be honest, so I guess they will deliver on "Change" and "Hope" and "Inspiration".

T/F: Of the four candidates, Joe Biden is probably the most fit to lead this country.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

True.

Voting machines and voter disenfranchisement will play a major role in the coming election.

 

[44Thrilla]

False. It won't be close enough for that to matter.

T/F Ralph Nader will get more votes than all the other independent candidates, combined.
