The Poor Excuse For A Debate (Joseph Farah Slams Bush Timidity And Thanks God For Swifties)

For Joseph Farah, the President was timid. And more than that the debate did not touch on key issues like illegal immigration and support for the terrorists of Palestinian Authority. What about the intelligence breakdown in this country that led to 9/11? No question about that either. We got more of the same. As Joe sees it, if Bush is re-elected, he has the Swifties to thank for it. We need more choices to revitalize our political life and to rediscover the American habit of self-government its time to take responsibility for ourselves and our Nation. Let's not wait for some President to come along to do for us what we ought to be doing for ourselves.

My mother watched the debate for some reason, and just e-mailed me saying Kerry had lots of charisma, but that she will still vote for Bush.

She said Bush was pitiful. This from a lady that doesn't follow politics like we do.

[what's up]

I just watched the debate.

I loved Bush. I didn't see the negative things depicted on the FR live thread.

I'm serious. I thought Bush did absolutely great. I love this man!

I suggest Joseph and perhaps you go read the transcript of the debate. Perhaps you are all surprised that the president doesn't always come across well speaking in this formats, but most people already knew that. He did a good job if you just read what he said. Joseph has no use for him anyway.

Are you under the impression Bush submitted those questions?

[goldstategop]

Well its true Joe doesn't back the President for re-election. He also loathes Kerry. Quite simply, he doesn't see much in the choices the American people have.

[Howlin]

Let's all pretened Farah likes Bush.

When Lehrer asked Bush about Kerry's character, this was the perfect opportunity to challenge Kerry's post-vietnam, anti-war activities. Bush opted to play it safe; shouldn't have. This would have been "the sound bite" of the debate.

I believe there's a well of resentment in this country for what the anti-war left did to us in Vietnam. Kerry's not only one of them, he's one of their leaders. Farah's right, the Swift Boat veterans continue to tap into this well of resentment, helping Bush.

Joe should've had a nice snifter of brandy, and thought about this a little while before blasting it into cyber space. He's going to feel like such an ass in the morning.

The moderator should have asked them. Or is there something the media and the politicians prefer NOT to have us know?

[sysiphus]

Bush Sucked. Any Freeper on this sight could have put Kerry down for the count. The Bush Campaign is in the prevent defense and they have forgotten that the best defense is a good offense. I was embarrassed by Bush.

[Howlin]

The moderator should have asked them.

No kidding. Now ask yourself WHY Lehrer only asked questions about the ONLY topic that Kerry has left to trash Bush with?

The moderator WROTE the questions himself.

You and Farah should think about that.

[80skid]

Kind of hard to be on the offensive when the ball is never in your hands.

Blatantly biased towards making W look bad in my opinion.

So with that said I think W held his own and Kerry was the one that made the prominent errors.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Not one question about illegal immigration – a national security crisis so severe even Time magazine recently discovered it.

Good reason they don't talk about it. It's become a national disgrace, and now a national security time bomb for every single American.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Joseph Farah isn't voting for Bush anyway. I couldn't care less what Joseph Farah had to say about Bush or the Swifties. He has no use for Bush. Joseph isn't even a Conservative.

I agree. W had a lot of facts, in terms of his relationships with relationships with diplomats. .. Regardless, W did Not exempilfy Kerry's treason and traitorists statements in 1971. Maybe W will get on this piece in the next debate. W is too weak so far....

[Nonstatist]

Farah is a total bore.

That being the case, Bush wins this debate because Kerry let slip soooo many disastrous quips that well might have been forgotten by the viewers, but which will be ballooned into importance by Talk Radio over the next few weeks.

One thing I noticed was that our President used a solid foundation on which to build the arguments of this debate. Liberty, Democracy and Freedom. Matter of fact, going through the debate I noted that - President Bush used the words:
Liberty - 4 times,
Freedom - 7 times,
Democracy - 4 times
and Free - 20 times.

And how rightly so. What good is Liberty and Freedom and Democracy if first YOU are not FREE. Kerry used the words:
Democracy twice,
Freedom twice,
Kerry used the word "Free" - twice. - - - Never used the word "Liberty".
