Default Please don't vote for a candidate who doesn't have foreign policy

experience.

In these difficult times, we can't afford to train someone, no matter what PTA, olympic committee, or ward they have run.

The idea that someone can do a job that they haven't actually done before is ridiculous, especially when you are talking about the presidency.

It will be interesting to see just what effects Benazir Bhutto's assassination will have on the future of this war.

Hence the argument made by those of us who promote candidates with executive experience.

John McCain can barely manage his campaign staff. I'm not confident in his ability to manage the federal bureaucracy.

Taking it to the extreme, we could only elect somebody who has already been President, but Bush can't run again.

Taking it down a notch, you just made my point about those with executive experience and Y just made a point about McCain not even able to manage his own campaign.

None of the major Dems have executive experience and we can't afford to train them.

To expect someone to have the first significant achievement of their life be in the Oval Office is naive.

For the love of God vote for someone who claims Jesus as his personal savior.

I'm trying to figure out what differentiates Huckabee from Romney in terms of foreign policy experience.

Someone help me here.
