I'm missing something. Where is the "executive experience" for Senator McCain?
Has he ever been mayor of any small town?

Has he ever been governor of any state?

Oh, okay . . .

3. I wondered about that too. Has he EVER had a job, like, a regular
job, for which he had to fill out an application and dress for an interview and all that?? I mean, before he started campaigning for this job?

5. He lives off his wife so I guess he advertised for the job of kept man?

6. Supposedly he "commanded" his squadron at one time or another
I've never seen anything to corroborate that. With his record I find it highly suspicious but that's what they are saying.

8. Bottom line.. he's been in the Legislative, not Executive branch for his whole career
Maybe he should go run for mayor of Scottsdale, and try again in '12.

7. This executive experience line is the easiest thing in the world to swat down
In the 2000 election George W Bush had the most executive experience.

How'd that work out?

10. How dare you imply that John McCain, a former POW®, doesn't have executive experience
