Let us be perfectly fucking clear here, John McCain IS more experienced than Hillary Clinton
All your contrived whining, agonizing, and bullshitting over this is just that, a bunch of contrived bullshit. The man was flying sorties over Vietnam when Hillary Clinton was still shilling for repubs like Barry Goldwater. Spin that.

1. can't be spun.
She had HillaryCare
He had Keating 5.
She had missing billing records
He had ass-kissing of Jerry Foulwell.

Both have baggage.

5. Yeah, he's got far more experience than Clinton and Obama combined.
That doesn't mean he'd be as good a president as either of them, though.

8. But you can't respond to the obvious point. Very much the Clinton supporter, aren't you?
And the shit will end as soon as we have stopped the fucking Clinton/Bush dynasty.

7. and my 14 yr old niece has more war experience as pRez george bush
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 12:50 PM by Blaze Diem
had when he was selected.
So f'ing what is any of this about?
petty b.s. is all
What's Barack got to offer up as war experience?

none of this is relevant anyway.
McCain's war expertise was a million yrs ago compared to the tecnology used in today's military.

He's irrelevant as well.

10. It isn't relevant at all. That's the point.
Some other poster decided to post this exact thread using Obama so I just copied it over and changed the names to prove a point. McCain has more experience than both Dems put together but Clinton has absolutely no more experience than Obama. That's just fact.


We need good judgment, not bad experience.

18. There's no such thing as "bad experience" and Barrack Obama's "good judgement" is a fairy tale.

19. bwahahaha. Please tell me you don't believe that crap.
Of course there's such a thing as "bad experience". If you're expert at being corrupt, that's bad experience. duh.

25. I do believe it & your analogy is lame.
All experience is good even if it stems from something bad.

23. So what did she learn from Hillarycare? Oh yeah! Give the insurance companies everything they want
I call that both "bad experience" and "bad judgment". What do you call it?

26. She's going to force them to insure people that they wouldn't otherwise
How is she giving them what they want? If anything, she's giving hospitals what they want which is what I want.

14. Really? In what way is Clinton more experienced than Obama? Does failure count?
Because when it comes to success rates, Clinton is right down there with bush*. Both of them get the goose egg for non-elected success (healthcare and travelgate ring a bell?). In office, Obama has a very distinguished record that at least matches Clinton's and both have been in elected office for about the same amount of time.

So where is all this experience?

13. WTF does flying sorties of Vietnam have to do with being president?
Franklin Roosevelt was an assistant secretary of the Navy at one time. Lincoln was a lawyer from Illinois who served one term in the congress.

No one on the face of the planet has experience at being the President of the United States unless they've been President of the United States. Not even the wife of a president.

I respect McCain, but I question his judgment and temperament. And exactly how does flying sorties over Vietnam make John McCain any more fit to be president than anyone else?

15. Ask the poster who posted this exact thread about Obama.
I'm just pointing out the fact that using Clinton's criteria, McCain should be president. I don't agree with it, but then I'm not voting for Clinton.

17. It has to do with the fact that Obama was less 6 years old when McCain was flying SkyHawks in a war
and that certain Obama supporters would like to imply that anyone who talks about this in any capacity is some kind of a traitor, Hillary Clinton most especially.

20. It has to do with Clinton's spin that completely lies about facts.
You can make up this bullshit about it having to do with age, but it has to do with the fact that Clinton stated that the only experience Obama has is a speech he once gave. I'm pointing out that Obama has every bit as much experience as, if not more than, Clinton and that she lied about it. She has hurt our chances of winning in November regardless of the eventual nominee all because she's put her advancement over the needs of the country. It honestly disgusts me that so many so-called "Democrats" at DU are willing to gloss over that fact all in the name of "Clinton".

That's what this is about. To try to claim anything else will make you as big a liar as Clinton.
