Experience Matters in a President. Just Ask John Adams.

You’re serious? You equate John McCain’s heroic failure in Vietnam with George Washington’s distinguished, military and diplomatic career in his several major campaigns leading several militias and armies through failure and success prior to his nomination to the Presidency? Washington…probably the most prominent farmer, citizen and landowner in his colony. Washington, who had led armies in campaigns…exercised major diplomacy, allying with the Indians of the areas…was a Colonel and a General, writing strategies and executing them against the French first and then the British, who led Virginia’s Militias? McCain was born into military royalty, became a pilot and got shot down. I can understand favoring McCain’s conservatism over Obama’s liberalism, but get your rationales right. You smear our country’s birth by comparing McCain with George Washington.
