Got it. And since when do Republicans care about experience? Alaska's largest circulating newspaper said that the current world situation would stretch Palin beyond what she can do. They instead opted to support Obama. Same with the Chicago Tribune, a newspaper that has [b]never[/b] endorsed a Democrat. And, frankly, I am absolutely [b]sick and tired[/b] of people using terrorism as a reason to elect anyone at all. If you think, even for a moment, that Gore would've acted differently from Bush on 9/11 (i.e., point at Afghanistan and say "destroy that") then your ignorance goes beyond any comprehension I have. Bush was untested before election. So would McCain, and so will be Obama. That's because none of those three people had been elected president before they were elected president. Let me reiterate: it's a job that is exponentially more difficult than anyone can imagine. No one is prepared for it. The best you can do is surround yourself with as many thoughtful people as possible, and get to the solutions that you can, when you can. You really think that, say, Gore would've had us reading the Quran in school right now if he had won in 2000? Or that Kerry would've handed over the Iraqi government to extremists if he had won in 2004? Don't be ridiculous. And McCain's 40 years of service? Sure. Great. Awesome. He has lots of experience as a senator, no one will deny that. And if for even a moment you think that the legislative branch of which he was part of is the same as the executive branch he wants to join, then I point you to the United States Constitution. This tired old argument really chafes me. I don't want the same people responsible for our current situations to be the ones charged with fixing it. If you go to an auto mechanic who routinely screws things up, do you keep bringing your car to him? Obama's relative short time in Washington is one of the crowning reasons for why I voted for him this weekend. -[url=http://blog.brokenhattrick.com]S[/url] Loading...
