Experience or Judgment?

Make no mistake about it no one has more experience in this campaign than Senators John McCain and Joe Biden. If I'm not mistaken Joe Biden has 36 years in the Senate and John McCain has 27 years. John McCain is a war veteran, but that isn't equivalent to foreign policy experience. (in my humble opinion) It's definitely honorable military experience, but has nothing to do with actually writing foreign policy legislation.

The experience factor has been run over like a dead squirrel on a country road that the local authorities refuse to pick up. It's old news. We get it. You've been in the Senate a long time. Now detail what you've actually done. No stretching the truth. No stump speeches. No prepared statements. What have you really done for the American people? Contrary to popular belief, rhetoric not only spews from the mouth of the lefties, but there's plenty of baseball snuff in the righties mouth.

This country has not suffered from the lack of experience in the last 8 years. Remember George Bush was governor of Texas. That's executive experience. His family is a living legacy in the political realm. That's extensive political experience. He's been privy to it his entire life. The Bush family, like them or not, is a dynasty. They have experience. However, experience didn't get us in this rut we're in, but poor judgment did. This somewhat proves (maybe not fully) that good judgment is not an automatic product of experience. Ever heard the term "old fool?" That's people with loads of experience, but never apply it. That's what wisdom is; applied knowledge.

I urge you to think through these issues. The righties want to make it a moral debate when most politicians (Dems are Repubs) have Phd's in immorality. Have we become that disillusioned to think that just because someone is pro-life and against same-sex unions that they're somehow doing the will of God? Okay, so you're pro-life, so am I, but I can't be pro-life and then support a man who authorized a war and then later admitted to not only having insufficient evidence on WMD's, but faulty evidence at that. Ladies and gentlemen, he knew it. Where's the sanctity of life in that? You send men and women knowing they'll never find what you said was definitely there even though in your heart you knew it wasn't? The pro-life agenda doesn't impress me and you can see why.

As I've stated before I vehemently disagree with Obama on same-sex unions and abortion, but at least he's somewhat honest and he's got the best plan for this country. I vote judgment because experience has me paying $4/gallon in gas, down to one car, and living with in-laws.
