  • Question:

    Do you think it is right that presidential hopefuls are also active politicians. For example John McCain has missed around half of the votes in the Senate?

    Asked by: Career Journalist from Washington, DC. Received 9 Votes.
    Categories: Campaign 2008 · Ethics. Tags: politicing · presidential election · primaries.
    Answer:

    Listen to: U.S. Sen. Jon L. Kyl (R-AZ)

    Most of the votes – because he is very careful about this – that the Senator has missed, are not those kind of critical, his vote – in fact I don’t think his vote makes a difference on anything, has made the difference on anything that anyone would consider substantial. [editor's note: Sen. Kyl is referring to colleague Sen. John McCain.]

  • Question:

    Why is the gun lobby so powerful in this country?

    Asked by: Career Journalist from Washington, DC. Received 15 Votes.

    Answer:

    Listen to: U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA)

    I think most, a lot of elected officials are just simply afraid of the gun lobby. They've tried it before and nothing ever happens. I think they've given up. They've given up that we're ever going to have any meaningful firearms control at all in our country. They've just given up on it.
