i still can understand how will experience matter, when u have the same old crappy ideas behind it! McCain for the fact has been on Bush's side almost all the time!

for the record
Bush was governor of TX for a good while and it took him fucking forever on live tv just to react to the news of 9/11. did i mention his military record too?
George W. Bush military service controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


and then how did he react when he did react?
8 years later, Saddam is dead, hundreds of thousands of civilians are dead and more injured, along with US casualties.

and yet, the original supposed masterminds or leaders of those who carried out the attacks are on the loose without much being done about it!

also, half of our bill of rights, core of the whole idea of freedom and democracy [research roots of the word, has to do with people and their will] is literally useless and our rights are gone, just by his reaction and the republican dominated congress, full of experienced people like McCain.

oh, more to brag about: his father was president as well, a president who did indeed go to war.

looking back now, u think Bush was qualified for the job based on his experience? I think not!

and John Kerry at least was in Vietnam doin somethin, how come that didnt count as experience to handle the position of commander in chief? its better than a national guard pilot who mysteriously went missing when the time of real service came!

as i have said before, all this is just a show for the unwashed masses, simpletons who will buy into whatever populist ideas they are given by sources they like. experience argument is just 1 example

Roosevelt is among the top 4 favorite US presidents based on approval ratings [ironically with GW leading both the least favorable and most favorable list]

and he barely had any executive experience except for a short while in navy
plus only 2 terms as a governor of New York after his failed VP bid in 1920.

yet his "policies and his thinking and ideas" made the major contribution to get us through the worst times of modern american history from a real messed up situation in depression to super power position!

Experience will "not matter much" when u look for "major difference and new ways" in the direction of the country.
at least not in the case of these 2 candidates, forget VPs!

unless u wanna tell me a president must have been into a war or military to be qualified for the job... which then brings on many more major questions to my mind about the essence of our system!

I believe you may have missed the point entirely.
The question of experience with regard to Palin as VP was being raised by DEMOCRATS!!!! DEMOCRATS!!!!!

I merely answered the question. Now DEMOCRATS, don't want to talk about experience anymore. How funny is that?

BTW, McCain has executive experience as well, while he was in the military. So, actually, the democratic ticket has the only 2 people with zero executive experience. At least Biden has some kind of past record,(although heavily misguided) at least he has one. It's going to be ANOTHER bad election year for democrats. Good news though, when Bush is gone you all can start bashing Palin! Oh and McCain, because of course he is Bush III right? Oh and of course you can continue to cry about Bush too, even though he will have no relevancy at all, just the same way you are doing now in this thread! I can't wait until Nov 5!:jointsmile:
