Is eloquence a good substitute for experience?

Question

Is eloquence a good substitute for experience?

Answer 1

no, well maybe for a car salesman

Answer 2

Eloquence is not a good substitute for experience but EDUCATION is a good substitute.  

Everyone always brings up experience and while I agree it is important, the foundation to anything is education.  

For what an individual lacks in experience he makes up in Education.  A educated man researches the problems/solutions, he surrounds himself with experienced people, he looks at every possible solution and picks the solution that works the best for the majority.

An educated man knows how to ask for help when needed and looks to his peers for advice.  An educated man knows that his decisions impact lives and people. Someone not from traditional politics w/ little so called experience has enough knowledge to pick a running mate with experience in DC and together fresh blood and experience make for new politics and change.

A educated man with knowledge, who is well versed on issues, understands the workings of government, has surrounded himself with people from different backgrounds and levels of experience and who can reach people of different backgrounds from around the world and demonstrates that he can deal with Washington and leaders from every country is a man I want in DC.

Experience to me means the same old tricks that have been tried over and over again.  Experience means I know what the h**l I am doing and I not willing to listen or try it a new way.

A strong man with a solid foundation, ideals, and education vs. a 72 year old man stuck in the ways of the past is not what I hope when I think of a better future for my unborn children.  I am waiting once again for America to takes it place 1st in the world again.  

Answer 3

That would be a NO!  Would eloquence save us when Russia attacks?  Would eloquence stand up to Terrorists?  Obama needs to get himself a job in public speaking, and leave the tough job of the Presidency up to the experts.  Oh, wait he is a Senator and he can't even vote on a bill other then voting Present.  He can't even make up his mind on where he stands on any issue.....  He is full of hot air that is all.

Answer 4

Is lie the first three letters in Joe Lieberman's name...

Answer 5

Are fresh ideas and the will and ability to make them happen a good substitute for more of the same and continual pandering to the religious right?

Answer 6

Is senility a good substitute for intelligence?

-Edit-

I don't mean to insult the thin skinned sensibilities of the right-wing. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, since it apparently seems that the *CENSORS* are out in force tonight. In no way would I want to insult anyone, there is no threat implied, there is no insult to a specific member,nor have I acted in a belligerent manner towards others. I only respond in a humorous/sarcastic manner.

Thank you
