Do you find McCain's choice for V.P. is hypocritical because she lacks experience?

Question

I certainly DO, It was enough that while campaigning against Obama, McCain used fear mongering by harping on Obama's so called lack of experience. Then he chooses a woman who has never handled anything outside of Alaska? What about her lack of experience, are we (Obama supporters) supposed to just see this as water under the bridge?

Answer 1

And just where is all this experience Obama is suppose to have?  Community organizing, I could do that and probably do that.  I'm a block club president, and I organize the community.  You do this and you over there, you do that.  Sit here and go there.  Is that what you are talking about?  Sure takes a talented person and sure gives you a lot of know how to be president!  Oh yeah, he's senator too.  Excuse me.  Talk, talk, all day.  I do that, then some days go vote, most of the time just say "present."  Then go home and eat arugula.  Boy, he's experienced..............oh, I'm so inspired!!!!!!!!!!! oh, oh..............

Answer 2

I wonder if McCain choice on Presidency is as good as his choice on women.  I don't trust his judgment.

Answer 3

snore.....really cant u come up with something new.

Answer 4

I do think it's interesting considering McCain barely knows her. He's only met her twice previously to nominating her.

The experience issue is pathetic. She has no experience on foreign policy. The Republicans say that she will be taught foreign policy in the next 10 weeks and that's ok. I wonder how the Reps would feel if we said that about Obama.

I am so sick of the Republican party making dishonest arguments. They don't actually believe what they're saying. They're just trying to feed a fire and I hope the first thing Obama does after being elected is shut down Fox News(**** free speech for those n**i's) and propose a bill that will prosecute people in the media for slander and knowingly reporting false information. If that happens we can guarantee the Republicans will never win another election. They won the last two elections on flat out lies and manufactured fear.

Answer 5

Yes. This undermines all Mccains "country first" rethoric.

McCain is willing to risk having that unqualified lady become commander in chief in these troubled times just to win a few votes. Can anyone seriously argue she'll be ready on day one if that should be necessary?

Is that country first? Risking the future of America's children to pick up some female voters? What an insult to the intelligence of the good American people

Apparently the new GOP slogan is Party First

Answer 6

Her lack of experience, and it is just that, will be a factor against the republican ticket. It is absolutly not water under the bridge. It matters, and I think people know that it does.  

Answer 7

No - she has more executive experience than Obama, Biden and McCain combined!

Answer 8

That stupid term "fearmongering" should be obsolete.  McCain has experience; he's at the top of the ticket; Palin is at the bottom of the ticket.  In Obama/Biden's case we have the apprentice at the top of the ticket and the master at the bottom.  It makes no sense.  Palin, regardless of whether you agree with her positions, is the only candidate running who has any executive experience.  The Presidency is an executive position.   Obama spent all of 143 days in the Senate deliberating, not making decisions.  He became a Senator by default.  

This woman has an 80-85% approval rating in her state.  Obama was a slack a$s and voted "present" 130 times rather than representing his constituency.
