Agreed, for sure.

Under this logic, literally anything can be dismissed as "history" because it's not here-and-now . . . everything from Senate experience ("she's acting on her own, so legislative body experience is just that . . . history") to education ("You really think he remembers all those Harvard classes from decades ago?") to doing blow off a stripper's ass ("Let's talk about today, not the past - I'm tired of hearing about him doing blow off hookers.").

Let's not confuse things...the candidate's senatoral record or any governmental or legal offices...that to me IS relevant...that right there is a foundation as to why someone should be considered electable...

again, look at the folks I mentioned a while back...nearly nil military experience but ALL managed more than 1 term in office...so why are we making a big deal about McCain's experience? If we are to go by that then considering the 2 term presidents we have had, odds will say that McCain lasting thru more than one term is small at best!

now that's good advice that everybody can follow

haha...he gave you the homeboy dismissal, Daemonseid.

He got me but he knows I don't pay him any mind....hehehe!!!


Anywho....

1 fact you all should know about our current President.

He is the lowest ranked officer to have ever served as POTUS and tied with his father at that.

But what's his favorite ice cream flavor? That's the stuff that really interests me.

Well, let's see, maybe because we're at war right now, and probably still will be when the next President takes office.

Pralines and Cream.

With the exception of FDR and Bush...we weren't at war when most of those 2 term presidents were in office (unless you count the Cold War and Reagan, otherwise there was no actual combat.) so what exactly are you driving at?

(Toss Nixon in for Vietnam...but he had military experience and not a part of who I mentioned)

His military experience is going shape his war time choices much more than his experience in the Senate. With all the big deal being made about the Obama-McCain veterans bill situation, his military experience will have a lot to do with his policies.

Yummmm.

Daemon, you don't think during a time of war people might, just maybe, for the hell of it, for shits and giggles, perhaps..........be drawn towards a candidate with a great deal of military experience?

I am going to get some right now...

No joke...

If it was a war that the majority of the population was behind and supported...sure....
