Chuck Norris was way off on his ten questions to ask presidential candidates. His number one quality was respect for human life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He was right on there. That’s the reason we have a Constitution. To protect the rights spelled out in the Declaration of Independence.
But what does the President do? Well, lots of things he’s not supposed to. But he’s the Commander in Chief supposed to protect the rights proclaimed in the Constitution and the head of the Postal Service. And he’s the administrator in charge of the lawful acts of Congress. Sure, he has to protect the peace too.
He only has one thing to do with the economy. Protect it from crooks, in this country and others. It’s not his job to meddle in the economy or turn it around. He needs to be able to communicate, but he’s not auditioning for the debating team. I know where he’s coming from, but he’s going nowhere. We need to run and elect the best man we can find and get. Compromise in politics is the name for losing. If you won’t stand up for what you believe, don’t expect anyone to stand with you. That’s why conservatives have been losing since the founding of this country. The other side won’t budge. Not if you’ll back down.
You don’t have to have the perfect candidate now. Just elect the best you have. If you keep electing the good guys, the better guys will start running. If you elect the lesser of two evils who can win in November, just the evil will run. There are a lot of good and qualified people who just aren’t running.
There’s not a lot I can say about the men running for President. They all have faults and their supporters are probably all biased. Just pause and take an unbiased look at all of them and pick the best one for the job. Running the one who can win in November seldom works anyway.
P.S. Take our poll.
