This is another one of my off-the-wall ideas. I'd like to try this around the 2010 midterm elections just as an experiment. There was a similar thing done by a media organization a while back when they asked a number of candidates about a fake war in a nonexistent country, and they got all kinds of detailed answers that showed they were just BSing.
1. Make up an organization with a name like "Citizens Against Community Violence" or something along those lines.
2. Write up a questionnaire with items like, "What is your position on the use of double barreled semi-action clips in civilian firearms?" or "Do you think it is appropriate for civilians to own a rifle firing a round as large as 4 mm?"
3. Contact local (and national, if available) candidates over the phone and ask them those questions on the spot. You could also print the questions on professional-looking stationary and send it to them.
4. Publicly expose all of the nonsense answers and show their ignorance for what it is.
