President Bush: Why is it that you and your spokespersons have now begun to refer to all the adversaries in Iraq and the rest of the world as terrorists? Is there not a difference between a rebel, a freedom fighter, a foreign fighter or even a protester? Were our colonial forefathers terrorists because they opposed the current government?

President Bush: Congress just extended the tax cuts passed during your tenure, except that most specifically beneficial to low-income Americans, the child tax credit. Do you unequivocally approve of this move? If so, what do you say to those who have lost this benefit and will pay more? If not, explain why you did not intervene in the process to make sure the extension is what you want?

President Bush: In the event the Supreme Court reverses Roe vs. Wade during your second term, your leadership will be crucial. How will you guide our country toward the criminalization of abortion? Should pregnancy termination be treated as a federal crime, enforced primarily by FBI, or a state issue, regulated by local law enforcement? Will you seek to criminalize only the doctors providing the illegal procedure, or the women who seek it out as well? What penalties will you advocate to ensure the successful prohibition of abortion? Fines? Prison sentences? And, finally, what guidance will you seek when you make these difficult, far-reaching decisions?

President Bush: In 1972, the Armed Services were begging for men like you. The country was at war, and you approved of the war. Why didn't you enlist?
