It's 1992. Who Has the Lifetime of Experience to be POTUS?

[brindis_desala]

Bill Clinton or John McCain?

[DesertFlower]

1. well i don't even have to answer that.

:toast:

[grantcart]

2. lol Dick Cheny, Donald Rumsfield

[TwilightGardener]

3. Or George HW Bush--another war hero.

[davidinalameda]

34. he was also a VP for eight years

CIA head; congressman

so he was CLEARLY more qualified than Clinton ever was

[Cyrano]

4. Al Gore. But I believe he now has the wisdom to never want the job.

[SKKY]

31. As much as I hate to say it, you're probably 100% correct...

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Bill Clinton is 46. He is too young....

:rofl:

[Evergreen Emerald]

6. Actually, Bill Clinton was the longest running Governor in history

And he had extensive foreign relation experience. But, don't let the facts get in the way of the sand surrounding your buried head.

[brindis_desala]

7. Foreign experience. How so?

[Evergreen Emerald]

8. look up his history, there is much written on it

He came to WA with lots more experience than Obama has.

[XemaSab]

9. Looks like he was governor for 14 years

n/t

[walldude]

11. It's not his job to look up facts you claim to exist.

Post the links and facts to backup your claims or not. Don't expect your opponent to do your legwork for you.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. opponent?

If you want to learn something, you can look it up. I already know it, so I don't have to find the source.

Or, you can remain ignorant of the facts as you continue to mimick the talking points--not knowing all the facts. You admit that you don't know the facts--and yet are unwilling to learn?

[brindis_desala]

19. Er No. Actually you made an assertion unsubstantiated by fact

[Evergreen Emerald]

30. well, of course it is substantiated by fact

And, you have such an entrenched opinion for someone that does not know the full facts!

[dsc]

10. Bill Clinton

was governor for not one year, not two years, not three years, not four years, not five years, not six years, not seven years, not eight years, not nine years, not ten years, not eleven years, not twelve years, not thirteen years, but fourteen years. Longer than FDR, longer than Bush 2, Carter, or Reagan.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

12. And that's still less experience than GHW Bush then OR McCain now

Imagine that.

[dsc]

15. GHWBush

had less, not more but less, elected experience than Clinton.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

17. Oh, so we're only counting elected experience now?

In that case, Hillary has less, not more but less, elected experience than Obama.

[dsc]

20. I am using your standards

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

22. Er.... ok then. So we agree Obama is more qualified than Hillary

[high density]

23. No, I think he feels First Lady is an elected office

:rofl:

[dsc]

26. No

Bill Clinton had 14 years of gov. plus two as AG for a total of 16. Bush had 8 as VP and I think 4 as Rep. That is 12. 16 is greater than 12 last I checked. As to the current candidates. Hillary has, as of 2008, 7 years as Senator vs 3 years for Obama. Given the fact that neither one has really had time to be a Senator for most of last year, it is more like 6 vs 2. I do discount his state Senate service. I certainly wouldn't count it the same as being governor or being Senator.

[high density]

27. Why are we arguing about Bill Clinton again?

He's not running AFAIK.

[dsc]

29. because I was answering a post

which stated THAT BUSH 1 HAD MORE EXPERIENCE THAN BILL CLINTON. If you have a problem discussing BILL CLINTON. Then don't post in a thread where the OP mentions BILL CLINTON. It isn't my fault we are discussing BILL CLINTON.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

33. Ah, so more rules then.

You get to decide what counts as experience, so that Hillary always ends up with more. I see how this works. :eyes:

[Kittycat]

35. Are you still rattling on?

I would think with all that spinning, you would have fallen over and passed out by now. :shrug:

[Kittycat]

24. You're trapped in your own circular logic, and fail to admit it.

I'm seeing more and more of this lately from HillFans. You would be wiser to just stop arguing and admit that you'll support her at all costs. Maybe you're one of those single issues voters, like the fundies were for Bush - and she speaks for you on that one issue?

[dsc]

25. Coming from the supporter of a candidate

who almost always has supporters citing a now five year old vote as the major reason not to support mine the notion of single issue is nearly perverse. For the record I have several issues, I prefer Hillary's health care plan, I am not happy with Obama's stated support of merit pay for teachers and his public ambivalence toward vouchers, I am decidedly unhappy with the whole McClurkin mess, and Obama originally supported Roberts for justice.

[Kittycat]

28. I'm not happy with Clinton's inability to make sound judgement when it's needed.

War, Clusterbombs, Torture, Kyl-Lieberman... TRANSPARENCY. And just a look at her campaign and the complete arrogance they ran on - finding them now only faced with the kitchen-sink formula shows consistent lack of judgment. I can't trust her on any other issue, because so far, when it really counts - she's been unable to put forth the right judgment when it really counted. And part of that failed judgment has spun this economy in to recession.

[brindis_desala]

13. So I guess that made him more qualified than FDR who was a governor for 3 years

[JVS]

14. If you can't say something without endorsing republicans, STFU!

so I'll be quiet.

Ahh the lessons of ma and pa!

[sueragingroz]

16. John McCain

Hillary is more prepared today than Bill was in 1992.

[stray cat]

21. Herbert Walker Bush?

[Yossariant]

32. We weren't at war in 1992. When is the last time that Senator Obama took a

first hand look at the situation on the ground in Iraq?

He joins President Incurious George Bush in his remarkable lack of experience and curiosity.

[BumRushDaShow]

36. Ummmm

We were still flying sorties over Iraq and other bullshit related to * and his legacy and Clinton continued the sorties and no-fly zone crap.
