Newspaper Endorsements and Experience

[Reaganfan]

John McCain has been eating up most of...if not all...the Republican presidential endorsements by newspapers across America. However, on the Democratic side, Obama has been picking up many endorsements.

Is it that the Republicans look at McCain and see: War Hero, Foreign Policy for wartime, fiscal discipline and a conservative....while Democrats look at Obama and see: Youthful, articulate, attractive?

It seems the Dems just want gratification for the moment. A fresh, youthful 3-year Senator with zero experience, rather than an older, wise, foreign policy, former P.O.W. experienced 20-year Senator.

When in the history of wartime have we ever gone and elected a President with zero experience? It just doesn't make sense. You would think during war you would want a former Vietnam P.O.W. in there!

Wouldn't McCain vs. Obama kind of be a mis-match?

You really need to look closer at the newspapers that endorsed McCain.

Most of them endorsed Kerry in 2004, Gore in 2000, Clinton in 1996 and 1992, ...

McCain likes higher taxes, wants to silence conservatives, thinks amnesty for illegal aliens is a great idea, approves of 'gay marriage' as long as there is some kind of ceremony.

That's why the liberal media likes him.

Maybe so, but America isn't really in a war right now.

Not really.  Why would you think that?

So, Naso is trying us to tell here that Kerry should have been elected in 2004??

Haven't you heard?  Kerry never really served in Vietnam and his wounds and medals were just an invention of the "vast left wing media conspiracy".

He was singing Kumbaya with Jane Fonda from 1965-1975.  @@

Obama doesn't have "zero experience"; he just has a lot less than McCain. It depends on what you consider experience, too. Obama has a lot of extra-political life experience that could be helpful to a President. There have been plenty of Presidential elections in the past in which the man with less experience was elected, and quite a few of them have gone on to be very good Presidents. On the flip side, some of the most politically-experienced men to have been elected President have had their problems.

Ah, it's nice to have you back, Naso. It's nice to get some naive Republican hackery to counterbalance all of the naive Democratic hackery
