McCain Has More Experience
by wobblies

Hi~

Democrats need to acknowledge that McCain has more experience than the good Senator Obama: the world knows that. He just has a forty year history of getting it wrong. He was wrong about Vietnam; we should never have invaded that country. The Vietnamese people were throwing off centuries of colonial rule, and America was on the wrong side of history. Senator McCain has never understood that, and he used anti-communist blinders that narrowed his view of the world.

He also has blinders on about the Middle East. He again used anti-communism to forge poor judgement even though Communist and Socialist along with other progressive forces were leading advocates for Democratic institutions throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s in the region. The people in that region have been fighting for Democratic reform for decades, but Senator McCain has supported a US foreign policy that has fought against those political blocs in the region because many of those involved were Communist and Socialist. By the time Hussein was in complete control, all of those progressive forces, including capitalist forces, were crushed by that US backed dictatorship.

McCain has been dead wrong about conquering Iraq, and he played a leading role in supporting George’s unilateral, unprovoked invasion and occupation; he made speeches as early as mid-2001 on foreign policy in which he called for military action against Iraq. He is still wrong on what to do, yet he would still shed more American blood for vanity and office, for a war that should never have been supported or waged.

Given that track record, who is more likely to find peace for America and the region? I suggest that the good Senator McCain would be more likely to chart a course of war without regard to our national interests and national security.

God Speed,

David

His chances would be nil since if Bush died, Cheney would become president and would name a new vice president. If Bush and Cheney both died at the same time, Pelosi would become president and name a new vice president...and so on.

Hi~

It is quite obvious that many very old people are completely lucid, and they have decades of experience behind them. Incapacity, on the other hand, is always an issue; but, how do you prove the allegation? Certainly, age isn't the determinative factor.

Really. It seems then, that you have
by Skeppy2

no more control over Congress than an Obama.or a Hillary.

I point out in bold face that McCain will as he vetoes deficit spending.

BTW do you know that in 2007 Pelosi and Reid Year One the national debt increased by 10%?

Bush's fault? Eh?

Bush's fault?

McGamps's chronological age, isn't the issue.
by fairlane
The fact that he comes across as incredibly old, befuddled, and out out of it, is the issue.
