* Do you honestly expect the pesky citizenry to fall for the line that you saw nothing and heard nothing (and can therefore say nothing to the police) about the millions illicitly raised by your son Omri for your campaign?
Didn't you know about dubious loans-cum-contributions from abroad to underwrite the illegality? Were you unaware that your other son Gilad was paid NIS 20,000 a month to surf the Web, and was additionally promised millions in bonuses?
* If you were too busy to hear and see what was being done on your behalf, what's to assure us that we can now have faith in your vigilance vis-a-vis the affairs of state over which you had been questionably put in charge?
* If you were blind and deaf to Omri's offenses, from which you benefited and for which he was convicted, why don't you now righteously demand he resign his Knesset seat (you, after all, sacked deputy minister Nomi Blumenthal for mere suspicions in a comparatively diminutive case)?
* Did you perform your ideological about-face to curry the leftist media's and judicial establishment's favor in order to escape prosecution?
* If not, how was it that you campaigned vehemently against Amram Mitzna's mini-disengagement platform, won votes thereby, yet shortly thereafter implemented Mitzna's agenda and more?
* Why have you never explained what we are to accrue from disengagement?
* Why don't you openly inform us about your future projected territorial generosity and settlement destruction schemes?
* Why have you never disclosed the logic behind the Tennenbaum swap, the Philadelphi Route abandonment and the Rafah Crossing agreement?
* How could you ram a referendum down your party's reluctant throat and then ignore its results when they didn't suit you?
* Why did you fire ministers who dared disagree with the boss while rewarding upstart backbenchers with portfolios or deputy-ministerial sinecures (like Ruhama Avraham and Eli Aflalo, now leading luminaries in your new party)?
* Having bolted the Likud, how can you leave it with debts incurred to elect you and the shady opportunists rallying round your flag?
* Will you deploy the Trojan horses you recruited to Likud rolls and forums to skew upcoming Likud primaries?
* Last but hardly least - having betrayed all undertakings to your electorate previously, why should anyone trust your word now?
