There ARE no qualifications other than age, birthplace, and residency.

Technically, you're correct. But if you limit your assessment of presidential candidates to the constitutional minimum then what basis do you have to distinguish one candidate from another if they both satisfy the minimum requirement as set forth by the consitution? Your response is nonsensical and avoids dealing with the point I made earlier. The word for that kind of argumentation is sophistry.

No, but those 30 years HAVE been as a Republican so that counts against him, too! And the discussion was about McCain's military career which seems to be his only talking point...it colors his thinking...everything is in military terms...we don't need nor want that attitude especially combined with his well documented irrational hair-trigger temper.

Comfy up on that high horse?
Someone mentioned qualifications and I mentioned there's only 3, a FACT. I never said that was all I looked at.
Ya, it sounds like he did the same as bushJr....only he was actually out of the country.
Another lefty loony, did Bush lie about his duty? Liberals continue to lie about everything under the sun and when the TRUTH is plain and clear, the sheep still follow. Great Party to be a part of. No morals, no sense of personal responsibility, just a laughable bunch of clowns. Good Luck in the GE, you have no chance. At least you will have four more years to throw pitty parties and degrade others who actually do something for their country and themselves. Actually, if McCain does not win, your life will be absolutley empty with nothing to do or complain about.
I don't think it makes him any more dangerous than Obama's foreign policy experience as a 6-year-old living in Indonesia.
McCain's military experience is one of a hostage. Obama can learn diplomacy, in fact we are all raised in the art of diplomacy from the time we first ask for something (a cookie) and are rejected.
Do you believe the experience could have an adverse affect on how he views the World in times of War? (Two)

Geez....sounds like your Ph level is now beyond its normal level
