Isn't it true that McCain has the best resume for foreign affairs in the Republican field of candidates?

Question

Please don't lecture me that he is behind in the polls, I know, I can read. But Guliani has NO experience in foreign affairs, Romney, again, no experience in foreign affairs, the others, well, you tell me, but, seriously, don't we need a leader adept on the issues with a broad sensibility in these dangerous times in which we live?

Answer 1

It is true. I don't know that that one fact will be enough to get him elected though.......

Answer 2

Duncan Hunter has the better Commander in Chief resume.
Army Ranger in Vietnam,
Chairman of armed services committee in the House,
his son serves in the USMC,seen combat
has the best understanding, how to check and balance free markets, federalism, and Independence against each other so none are sacrificed/compromised for the sake of another.

Answer 3

I agree with your point, in my opinion, Giuliani is to fast of a gun anyway.
But let me make another point, McCain is pretty much a warrior, very smart, with lots of courage. That doesn't amount to a resume for a president. He has not a clue about the important matters like health care, education, environment, failing infrastructures and so on. He would have to rely on a team, which could run circles around him and already did.

Answer 4

The only other candidate that could stack up to him is Duncan Hunter, who seved in Vietnam, has a son in Afghanistan, has gone over to Iraq several times, and has been on the Armed Services Committee for a very long time.

Answer 5

As far as experience is concerned, yes.But as far as well-educated, Ron Paul seems to actually READ books and documents, such as the 9-11 report, etc.

And the world isn't as dangerous as these politicans trying to communicate. There was a report that stated you have a better chance getting struck by lightening than being involved in a terrorist attack.

Answer 6

I don't know what in Senator McCain's resume would lead you to that conclusion. He certainly lacks the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief. In fact, I remember him referring to the North Koreans as "Gooks". That and his volatile temper make him a poor choice as far as I am concerned.

He is also not a Conservative. He and Senator Feingold sponsored the McCain/Feingold bill which is probably the worst infringement on free speech ever to be passed into law.

He is also too old.

Answer 7

One of the reasons I support McCain. Of all the candidates he has the most experience and respect on the world stage, the other is the ability to cross the isle and set aside partisanship.

Answer 8

My only answer would be to question his parroting of President Bush on Iraq and the need for troops in Iraq. Same thing with Clinton. I believe that now the 'thing' in Iraq has been started, none have a cogent ideal to 'unstart' it. They're all to cowardly just say no to war. Between (the intentionally)scared populace here and the money needed for oil reserves and other pressures. Foreign policy is just a provocative comedy skit. We've made a bed, crapped in it, now we have to 'sleep on it'. Freddy Kruger is so proud of us.

Answer 9

What? McCain has a qualification that people should pay attention to? Never mind, his poll numbers are low....

McCain is not popular, that's his problem. Elections aren't about qualifications, it's about popularity, and popularity seems to have a price tag these days.

Answer 10

You are correct, he certainly does. In fact, I was impressed with him during last night's debate. IMHO, he won it. I consider him to be honorable and honest. His stance on immigration/amnesty really hurt his campaign. I could actually support him quite easily.

Answer 11

I think that Foley has better qualifications than any other Republican.
