It’s just that the sheeple do not think a mere “congressman” is “qualified” for the “presidency”.

That congressman has more background than Mitt & Huckester to lead us in the WOT.
Those two might be fine for pres. of PTA but not the U.S.

Good thing you wern’t around during Lincoln’s time, He was a mere Congressmen with no college degree when he became President.

Abraham Lincoln was a mere former Congressman. On the other hand LBJ was a career politicians and a long time Senator. So was Richard Nixon. In fact, not real sure if there were any good Presidents that were Senators during their career. Reagan....nope. Washington....nope. Esinhower....nope. Hmmm just what makes a mere Senator "qualified" to be President?

Want to know why John McCain is the worst possible choice for President?

He has demonstrated he has no core convictions. He is the same sort of twist in the wind political opportunists that Bill Clinton was. His only guiding principal is to be slavishly obsequious to what ever the latest “News Media” trend is. That may win him pats on the head from the US "News Media" it is no way to run the country.

Look at his record. Media are upset about money in politics, be the cheerleader for a really stupid, unbelievably harmful CFR law. Media people are upset Iraq, posture as if you are both for and against the Iraq mission at the same time. Set up a really stupid Congressional Committee headed by a mixed bag of Dincon and Democrats to manufacture a dumb “Baker Commission” report to give you political cover for that issue. Iraq mission is turned around, as we Support the Mission people have been telling it was only a matter of time to get too, Mccain falsely allow his surrogates to claim credit for the strategy Rummy created. Media people upset about torture. Pen a vague meaningless amendment and grand stand about it less then 6 weeks before a crucial mid term election. Media upset about Gitmo. Decide you are all for closing Gitmo. Media decides Illegal Immigration is the "new Civil Rights movement" become the loudest Republican Congress critter cheerleader for Amnesty.

McCain is an unprincipled, dishonest swing in the breeze politicaco who’s only core political principal seems to be rabidly chasing after the US Junk Media’s approval. That may let him con his way into the Republican nomination, it will NOT win him a General Election. Those people will turn on McCain the second he is nominated.
