Experience?

[TheNewUSAirways]

OK, so Giuliani & McCain go to a Yankees game, where Giuliani starts talking about McCain's experience over Obama. So NOW the Republicans think experience is important? Where was that thinking in 2000???

What you expect with Gore?

What you expect with Gore?

Hmmm...experience. Since 1976, let's take a look at experience...

Carter - a governor. Certainly no experience in Federal matters

Reagan -governor of a large state, and leader of a union (which I never knew him to be a friend of unions), but no federal experience

GHW Bush...career appointee and VP - guess that's "experience"

Clinton - governor of a state. No federal experience

Shrub - governor of a state...won that office on campaign slogan "remember the alamo". Amazed he didn't invade Mexico on the grounds that Santa Ana "tried to kill my great great grandaddy:. No federal experience.

Today we are faced with a congressman and a senator who has voted against bills that he himself has sponsored (yet you all called Kerry a flip flopper)

Your favorite congressman has a nasty habit of voting 'present' which negates him of taking a stance either way which is the way his campaign is showing.

Perhaps they are learning from past mistakes.

What makes you so sure about this? I guess we will never know.

I think Bear and I think alike here. Make no mistake, if Gore had been president on 9/11/01, we would have gone after OBL and the Taliban. In Afghanistan. I firmly believe that were Gore president, OBL would be dead by now. And we wouldn't be tilting at windmills in Iraq. I'll tell you that for me personally, I was behind Bush all the way when he went into Afghanistan. 110%. He lost my support when he cut and ran in the hunt for bin laden and decided that Iraq was a bigger enemy.

You may want to look in to that one before you post it. The voting in Congress is is Yea/Nay/or not voting. As far as I am aware, it is not possible to vote "present" in the US Congress.

What you are referring to is his voting record in the IL senate. The practice of voting Present was widely used by all members to indicate that they would vote for the bill with some changes as well as other reasons.

"Present" article

This article gives a decent explanation of what is at issue. Some of it was politically motivated, some of it was based on genuine concerns. Given the fact that he cast over 4,000 votes, 136 present votes amounts to just over 3%. And as indicated by the article, it is part of how they play in the IL state senate.

Nonetheless......its quite true,and darling Hillary was the one crowing about it.

Yeah you're right....we'd most likely have Arabic/Kurdish as the official language.

Gotta disagree there dell....I think OBL would have been dead since mid 2003 and our troops would have been home. But seeing how Iraq was a part of Cheney's "energy policy" when they took office in January 2001....

Geez dude. That is a stretch...even by your standards.
