Is The President So Important? (Joseph Farah Responds To His Critics)

Don't blame me. Blame Bush.

I am not supporting Kerry. Kerry is a creep.

But I cannot and will not support the lesser of two evils. My faith teaches me that light and dark don't mix. My faith teaches me I'm not to have anything to do with evil. I'm not supposed to compromise with it.

Joseph Farah says he's just stating the obvious. If there's any one to blame if the President loses, the buck stops with the occupant of the Oval Office. He thinks Kerry's a creep. More over, he thinks that as long as we have two parties who keep taking their constituencies for granted, America will never become as great as she can be. The point is Americans lives don't revolve around what happens in Washington and we should stop looking to politicians to fix all of our problems.

Appointing judges is the most important thing a President does. So far, Bush strikes out for failing to pursue getting his appointments confirmed.

[Consort]

The "evil" crap is getting old, real quick. "Evil" fatigue has struck.

President Bush is evil huh??

As for his take on the revolutionary .. Stuff it!

[FairOpinion]

I am disappointed in John Farah.

I would suggest he reads the transcript of Alan Keyes interview on H&C.

Alan Keyes comes out in support of President Bush, denounces Democrats, "our survival is at stake!"

"COLMES: We continue with Alan Keyes. Ambassador Keyes, as a fiscal conservative, as a true conservative yourself, do you have some problems with the spending of this administration?

KEYES: Oh, I sure do -- and I wouldn't want to give the impression that I don't have other problems with this administration on some areas where I think that the president has fallen short of the kinds of things that I really think are needed in some areas.

But I also wouldn't want to give the impression that I think that anything can be more decisive for the American people right now than the question of our national survival in the face of the most insidious threat this nation has ever faced.

In the face of that, I think a lot of us are going to be putting our other issues behind those issues that have to do with the survival of this nation in wartime."

[Consort]

Farah is giving evil a bad name.

[FairOpinion]

Just like in 1992, when the third party voters and conservatives who sat out the election, gave us 8 years of Clinton. Great accomplishment!

And now these same people want to give us 8 years of Kerry, followed by 8 year of Hillary, with all socialist judges on the Supreme Court. What a brilliant strategy!

(/sarcasm)

[america-rules]

I'm getting really sick of so called real conservatives using Reagan as the Godfather to benchmark from. I loved Reagan don't get me wrong but he was very far from perfect:

- 8 out of 8 budgets he signed "Increased spending" !
- Reagan signed the only military pay freeze in 40 years!
- Reagan gave amnesty to over a million Mexicans!
- Ran with his tail between his legs after the Beirut bombing!
- Appointed two of the most liberal SCOTUS judges in history!
- Lost the GOP Senate to the Rats!

The list goes on and on and adds up in the hundreds and if he were President Today we'd be bitiching like hell.

The point is we'll never get close to everything conservatives want in a President !

The point is Americans lives don't revolve around what happens in Washington and we should stop looking to politicians to fix all of our problems.

Politicians lives should revolve around what happens in America..
And, we need to start Telling Politicians HOW to fix our problems..
I honestly think politicians need to spend at least 75% of their time speaking and interacting with their constituents.
Presently, they spend 75% of their time just speaking TO us.. and not listening at all.

[jnarcus]

Except of course that Kerry is no friend of Israel and he would follow an even more flaccid approach to terrorist attacks than did Bill Clinton. Bush has many policies that drive me up the wall but right now I would rather fight them "over there" than have suicide bombings on a weekly basis in the heart of our major cities...Think Sept 11 times 2000 major cities and then tell me that you would rather have Kerry than Bush or that it doesn't make any difference at all

[Texasforever]

I am seeing a lot of these "responses to critics" from various "conservative pundits. It appears that there are a LOT of folks in flyover country not letting them get away with the lies.

[MissAmericanPie]

"The point is we'll never get close to everything conservatives want in a President"

How about getting remotely close to anything we want in a President? I'd settle for that. I'm tired of that comment as though conservatives demand too much when you don't demand anything but an R evidently.

I feel pretty sure Bush will pull his fat out of the fire by Nov., maybe. I'm not so sure he will get any judges on the bench. It's not a big priority for him.

[EternalVigilance]

Sit it out.

Go for it. Meanwhile the rest of us will do what is necessary to defeat the enemies of the Republic...by ousting the Democrats forever from power in this country, and by cleaning up our own house. Burning down our house is not a sane alternative.

When all is said and done you will have accomplished nothing constructive, Joe. Whining never accomplished a single positive thing in this world. Welcome to political irrelevency.

Appointing judges is the most important thing a President does. So far, Bush strikes out for failing to pursue getting his appointments confirmed.

Actually Bush has nominated conservative judges. The Senate has failed to approve them. So, if you really mean the above, and judges are THE domestic issue - vote for Bush and work to beat RINOs and Dems in the Senate.

[FairOpinion]

So Bush isn't "conservative enough" for you, but Kerry is?

Please explain your logic.

[MissAmericanPie]

Where did I say a thing about Kerry? Bush and conservatism are polar opposites if Kerry is on the planet or off of it.

No matter which party is in power, we face losing our sovereignty and constitution in the next four years. Maybe you should concentrate on that upcoming battle.

[FairOpinion]

In November either Bush or one of the Democrats will be elected.

If you are against Bush, by definition you are for, and are helping the Democrat, Kerry or Edwards or Clark.

[A2J]

Just like in 1992, when the third party voters and conservatives who sat out the election, gave us 8 years of Clinton.

However, it sure seems to me that the Republicans advanced conservative principles much more effectivley under Clinton's watch than the massive retreat under Bush.

As someone has said on FR, "I'd rather face an honest enemy than a backstabbing 'friend.'"

[FairOpinion]

"I'd rather face an honest enemy than a backstabbing 'friend.'"

==

If you consider the Democrats "honest enemy", you are beyond help.

[A2J]

If you are against Bush, by definition you are for, and are helping the Democrat, Kerry or Edwards or Clark.

The same can be said for Bush.

By signing the biggest medicare entitlement in history and throwing billions more at education, just to name two, Bush is against conservative principles and for liberalism.

Wouldn't you agree (of course not!)?
