For his service McCain won the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. He gained valuable experience as the Navy's liaison officer to the U.S. Senate before starting his 25-year career in the Congress. While there he chaired the Commerce Committee and authored/sponsored several pieces of major legislation (many of which I disagree with). He has also obviously done extensive work on the Armed Services Committee. Aside from not being a governor, if he doesn't have the experience to be President I don't know who does. Even the libs know better than to go after McCain on the issue of experience. That would only show how lacking Obama's truly is.
What about his Amnesty Bill he cosponsored with none other than Edward Kennedy?
Plus McCain-Feingold, plus the gang of 14, plus McCain-Lieberman, plus a bunch of other stuff. There is no doubt he is a hundred miles away from being an ideal candidate. AND, he picked a pro-life, conservative running mate and they are what we've got. :)
As far as the Congresisonal experience (which is more than sufficient), in addition to McCain, Sen. Biden. However, neither was ever a consideration on my list as both of them are staunch supporters of Kosovo Albanian Mohammedan thugs.
My point was that being a POW doesn't qualify one to be president, and McCain has been milking that ad nauseum. Likewise, gender and race are not "qualifiers."
What matters is what an individual says. Experience helps but it's what they propose that should be the main criterium.
Unfortunately, too many people reduce their choice to race, religion or gender, or even looks.
Has Kolo and Kosta ever been seen together?
