1. Why is the national media ignoring the Jeff Gannon sex scandal? Just what was that gay, male whore doing sleeping in the Bush White House?

2. HI THERE, I JUST WANTED TO ASK WHY IT IS THAT WE AS AMERICANS HAVE VOTING MACHINES THAT CAN EASILY BE TAMPERED WITH AND VOTES STOLEN TO THE WRONG SIDE LIKE PREVIOUSLY DONE AND WHY NOBODY IS FLOODING OUR RADIO AND TV AIRWAVES TO COMBAT THIS HUGE THREAT TO OUR VOTING RIGHTS AND OUR WHOLE DEMOCRACY. DEBOLD WAS ALREADY CAUGHT SAYING HOW THEY WERE "COMMITTED" TO BUSH'S SUCCESS. THIS IS A HUGE NATIONAL PROBLEM. THANKS, M ERICSEN

4. Subject: What? Radio Day at the White House: President Bush Behaving Divisively, AGAIN!
Even assuming that it might not be criminal, certainly it can't be ethical for the President to use America's property for such blatantly partisan political purposes--Can It?
Recently, President Bush stood together with Presidents Karzai and Musharraf and spoke admirably of "working together." Then, he went off to meet separately, once again, with only GOP Congressional leaders. Now its DittoHead Radio Day at the White House! Hypocritically, preaching of working together, while practicing partisan pandering, is purely polarizing. One's word should be one's bond. The President's actions speak louder than his words. President Bush can’t credibly talk of unity, when he leads by exclusion and defiantly arrogant unilateralism. What's the world to think?

9. Sam,it appears that reporters tip toe around Mr.Bush.Reporters are not asking the right questions.Reporters are not tough with Mr.Bush.

10. I WONDER HOW MUCH LONGER THAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WILL LET THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION BANKRUPT OUR COUNTRY.
THEY CERTAINLY FOUND THE MONEY TO GIVE THEMSELVES A RAISE IN PAY WHILE THE MINIMUM WAGE IS NEGLECTED.
IT IS SHAMEFUL WHAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY WHILE SENDING OUR TROOPS TO OTHER COUNTRIES
THAT DO NOT WANT US THERE. WE ARE BEING OVERRUN BY MEXICAN ILLEGALS
DEMANDING THE RIGHTS THAT WE CITIZENS HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR.

11. Why does AOL offer this "Ask Sam" deal? Why would anyone want to know what Sam thinks or have him answer a question. We, as Americans already know his stance and will know his answers to political questions and well he certainly is not THE authority on what is right or wrong, so who really cares what his answers are. He is just another person like the rest of us. Answer the questions yourselves and think for yourselves AMERICA instead of having to hear what someone who has a job in media is going to tell you.

15. Sam, why don't you retire completely and let the younger less biased media prevail? It's time!
