John McCain's got more experience than Obama? WHAT HAS IT TAUGHT HIM?

[Bolo Boffin]

How to staff his campaign with lobbyists?

How to roll over for Hagee?

How to cheat on his wife and get away with it?

JOHN MCCAIN: EXPERIENCE AMERICA COULD DO WITHOUT!!!

2. McCain intends to refight the Vietnam War by attacking Iran

I was phone banking with a mental health therapist who worked for years with Vietnam vets. She said that anyone who had gone through the lengthy (5.5 yrs.) of imprisonment and torture which McCain had, would be deeply affected by this - and not in a good way - his whole life. She thinks his aggressive posture re "Bomb, bomb, bomb - bomb,bomb Iran" is his desire to fight Vietnam over again. And his joking about it is extremely alarming.

As to the military part of his experience, it had nothing to do with strategic decisions or any level of organizational management. He was a partyboy/pilot before and after his five years as a POW. He left the military because he was not considered to be promotable. His military experience was limited to drinking, womanizing, dropping bombs (or was it napalm?) and being tortured. He's excited at the prospect of more years of war. He does have long experience in the Senate, but there we have the Keating Five, the flip-flopping on major issues, the blonde and currently missing lobbyist, etc. Hillary really does like him - that's for sure - she seems to have a thing for charming, womanizing men. And we've seen how well she evaluated the losers she hired to run her campaign.

4. Exactly

Experience only goes so far - what has that experience taught John McCain? Hillary's invocation of his experience is a low blow.

Thanks for your post.

9. He sure doesn't have experience telling Jokes, ...

It's been a while since I've seen a politician that could butcher all attempts at humor.

That aside, his experience is that of mediocrity. He was near the bottom of his class at prep school, near the bottom of his class at Annapolis. He is not the brightest candidate to aspire to the crown.

His father was an Admiral, military is in his blood and psych. I suppose it is his appeal to some. Is militarist thinking in terms of global solutions, the best mind set for the leader of the free world? Even for those that believe it is a high priority, do you want to entrust that power to someone with analytic abilities at the bottom of the class?

10. And he tells the same ones all the time!

With all that "experience," you think he would have learned how to tell those jokes by now.
