McCain's Lack of Experience

It's not even the economy this time

Quote:
Of course McCain is the one who tends to bungle basic facts. He has repeatedly confused the basic Sunni-Shiite sectarian divide that's absolutely fundamental to grasping the Middle East. Obama, meanwhile, may be inexperienced, but he's extremely smart and really has done his homework. He's impressive speaking about foreign policy both in formal speeches and off the cuff. McCain's attacks are a case of the pot calling the kettle a pot.
McCain has made this mistake more than one. McSame as Bush.

Quote:
One of the chief concerns of the pragmatists is that Mr. McCain is susceptible to influence from the neoconservatives because he is not as fully formed on foreign policy as his campaign advisers say he is, and that while he speaks authoritatively, he operates too much off the cuff and has not done the deeper homework required of a presidential candidate."
Is McCain a pinhead or a patriot? Sounds like a pinhead to me. He should go brush up on history and not learn it from Condi either. Being tied up in the Hanoi Hilton doesn't give you much experience either, although it gives you brownie points.

Ugh, I can't wait for someone to bring up McCain's son. His son probably has one of the cushiest jobs in the military, toasting wine with the generals.

Could we please leave the children, siblings, in-laws, poker buddies and yes - pastors - out of it? Can we just accept that every one of us is surrounded by people who have a place in our lives even if they're not perfect, from a political perspective or otherwise?

Which one? The soon to be officer from the naval academy or the enlisted marine in Iraq?

I'm sure the democrats will try to make this election about McCains lack of experience if it's as bad as you say. If they do, and his experience is lacking like you claim, then they should win in a landslide. This plan cannot fail!

He mixed up Sunni and Shia 7 times and Iraq is his major issue. I think that indicates his foreign policy experience. If there wasn't a heated Democratic primary going on this would have meant a big drop in the polls for McSame as Bush.

I'm sure the democrats will frame this election around experience, and win big, if you're point is at all credibly saransay.

Richard Nixon and Warren Harding had a lot of experience. Let me know if Flip-Flop mcCain runs on that. And whether or not there is a public perception that McCain has experience does not mean it is true.

McCain has no experience being a Socialist. I see that as a good thing.

Hmmm.... Obama and Hillary definately beat mccain on socialist experience. They should hold their election in Canada to maximize their chances.

Speaking of which, has anyone heard obama's recent blunder of words? Saying that the people of PA are bitter from lost jobs, so they cling to their guns, relgion, and anti-trade/immagration ideas?

A. Lay off America's guns obama, we want them whether or not we have jobs so if tyrants like you try to take over, we can start a revolution

B. Some people actually go to church to worship, not to listen to a racist and anti-american pastor who claims whites invented aids to keep down the blacks (among a long list of other things)

C. although PA has a little less room to ***** about it, illegal immigrants definately take jobs.

So obama, get the **** out of my country: China is calling you.

I read that piece written by a lady reporter. I thought she was having an orgasm just writing those words from the mouth of Lord Obama.
