Experience - (and) The Presidency

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

I'm waiting for the arguements over experience to begin.

Considering all the good the SUPPOSED experience has done thus far.

Well, I personally value ability over experience. In comparing Obama and Palin (which is what I assume you're getting at), I see Obama as having the ability to run the country, but no hint of that qualification from Palin.

No that wasn't what I was getting at, but now that you mention it.

I guess the inexperience arguement is null and void from The Republican side, no?

Damn, I am drunk. Took me about 2 minutes to type this.

It's easy to confuse 20 years' experience with one year's experience repeated 20 times. Ability wins over experience every time, imo.

Not sure where to put this link, old wiseass du(m)bman might feel the need to do his thing.

I do wish "minus the crazy stuff" went into further detail.

oh hey it looks like it's talking about politics, economy, the election, and policy.
look out john, this is major grey area for a forum about politics, economy, elections, and policy the world over.

libertarians are funny when they write op-eds. you can't tell me theyre both the same side of the coin after 7 years in drunken freefall regarding respect, diplomacy, and a healthy outlook.

I would assume that it was in regards to the more extremist positions that true libertarians hold. Like the isolationist stance in regards to international relations, or the full extent of "smaller government" that they call for.

And why didn't you know what forum to put that article in?

And if your initial post about "experience and the Presidency" wasn't in relation to Palin and Obama, then what was it in regards to?
