YouTube - McCain: Mayors, Govs Don't Have Nat'l Security Experience

Huh? Why is McCain so confusing. He's a walking/living/breathing (barely) contradiction in terms. Maybe he didn't mean BOMB Iran... maybe he meant BALLOONS for Iran. Dementia is a scary thing...

No comments? I suppose this is a tough one to chew... McCain stating that being a Governor and Mayor for a limited time is a lack of experience. Fast Forward VP nomination. 'Senator Palin? Oh well, she has oodles of experience. She was a Mayor and a Governor'.

Huh?

Here is another one - it is closer to Russia!

He didn't choose her, Karl Rove did. McCain just wants to be elected, playing up to the Religous Right was the only way out of a dying campaign. Pathetic.

Oh you big meanie ... give Papa Smurf a break. This was before he met the babe of the GOP.

They don't. Neither do community organizers and Sen. Obama as senator.

I love that the Democrats are so willing to bash a governor while ignoring that their hero, Clinton, was a governor prior to becoming President.

Ah, actually, this thread is about McCain "bashing" mayors and governors. And he did a good job.

Was it a secret that Governors don't have foreign policy experience?

Apparently, because Palin has a great deal of Foreign Policy Experience, according to McCain.

I haven't heard him say that about foreign policy experience. If he did, I didn't see it.

I also haven't heard any good responses about Obama's foreign policy experience or a good explanation of Biden's statement about Obama needing on-the-job training.
