LIBERALS ~ Why do I hear the sound of CRICKETS?

Question

That's what I hear everytime I ask a liberal what qualifications do Obama or Hillary have to be running for president?

Have they run a company or been an excutive like Romney, Guliani or GWB?

Do they have experiance in the Military like McCain or GWB?

Have they ever managed an organization of anykind like Romney, Guliani, GWB?

They are simply two of 50 junior senators! That's it. Nothing else!

If your answer is "They Qualify under the Constitution."

Well, so does the Unabomber!

Answer 1

Answer: If you hear the crickets, you know that they are more honest than the noise that ANY liberal has ever made.
The only difference between the current field of democratic presidential candidates and the Unabomber (Freudian slip) are the federal indictments and convictions.

Answer 2

Big issue number one, how in the world do you think that running a company is any sort of qualification for Presidency???

Being a business leader does NOT give you the kind of understanding you would need of foreign policy issues, the issues effecting every country and their leader, and how to bring that knowledge to every discussion with every leader to try and preserve Americas interests without alienated them. Simple answer, it doesn't.

There is so much more to the running of America than finances. PS, please look at history. GWB FAILED at his business running, he was horrible, the only reason he kept getting rescued was because intelligent business leaders wanted an in to try and decide public policy in their favor. This kind of plutocratic canoodling is precisely why too many business credentials make me suspicious of said candidate.

Junior senators at least would have their fingers on the pulse of domestic and foreign policy issues and how to strategically balance both.

Also, regarding military experience, as long as they have TRULY fought in a real war somewhere, they would have not only the higher abstract view from the executive office, but they would be in touch with what its like to be there on the ground.

BUSH, does NOT have that. He evaded his responsibility of being truly eligible for the draft, by using his wealth and connections to secure himself a cushy place in the National Guard, and then didn't even serve out his full term. Give me a break!!!

Answer 3

Don't you think it's rather cheeky and insolent of you to assert that neither Hillary nor Obama can't do the job, just because they lack the education, experience, the temperament, and good decision making skills?

Maybe these candidates don't have the background to qualify them for the job, but in their defense they do their best to FEEL their way to making good choices. Shouldn't feeling be enough? Do we really need intelligence? C'mon, as Robin Williams said, "80% of life is just showing up".

Why shouldn't someone trust Barbra Streisand as much as a PhD climatologist with 20 years of field experience? Don't you know that we live in an era where legitimate credentials are not only considered superfluous, but are actually looked upon with distrust?

Want to know about an important topic? Don't read boring books, just watch a Michael Moore movie, and poof! You're an instant expert, and you've been provided with pre-packaged sound bites you can use to impress your friends.

We don't need legitimate academic achievement anymore because everyone has a right to their opinion. Telling someone they aren't qualified to comment on a topic is so... exclusionary. Won't it hurt people's delicate egos to be told they actually need to study before claiming knowledge in a field of study?

Teens in high school and college want to imagine themselves as instant experts in everything. Nowadays, they don't have the patience to really research an issue and become a legitimate expert, and Liberalism is a great escape. You don't need real facts, you just need to present an issue cloyingly cloaked in words like "fair", "equitable", "just", and "compassionate". Libs just eat this stuff up.

Young people believe they have all the answers, but are often still thinking at the 8th grade level in terms of politics, and what is reasonable, fair, and feasible.

Just as the Khmer Rouge was doomed to fail because it was run by ignorant, reckless teens who didn't value the real expertise of the truly educated people in Cambodian society, the Liberals are poised for failure because they rely on the opinions of people who have no credentials.

Think of it this way: when you're flying across the Atlantic at 35,000 feet, isn't it comforting to know the pilot didn't just read a magazine article on how to fly a plane?

Answer 4

What is with this business management kick your on. Who have you been listening too that is feeding you these stupid arguments. Since when did you need to run a business to be president. Besides why don't you go look at GWB's record of what the businesses he helped run did. Kinda makes you understand why he hasn't done much right as president. He has been a failure his whole life. As for military service since when was that necessary? When did United States senator not become a credential for being President. Your argument or rather the argument you have recieved from someone who you need to stop listening to immediately is silly.

Answer 5

Well, two of your questions are pretty much the same (running an organization and running a company) and I don't think "running a company" qualifies someone for being president anymore than being a senator does. And to claim that Bush has military experience is laughable. So maybe you hear crickets because these so called 'qualifications' that you list are trivial.

Answer 6

I share your frustration as do all of us rational conservatives who would like clear straight-forward answers from the left . Instead , we often receive insolent answers that have nothing to do with the posted question . And sometimes they are too embarassed to answer when we have their party dead to rights . Oh , don't get me wrong , sometimes even when there's zero wiggle-room , they'll make their own rat holes to squeeze through , and rarely does any of them stand-up and acknowledge truth .

One particularly annoying way of answering is when they indirectly acknowledge fault in the party but then turn their answer into --- "Well we'll change or we'll admit that right after you or your party members does the same about some other yet unrelated story ". Or words to that effect .

Of the last 5 questions that I've asked directed to them , honestly there's not even one logical response on some of them and only a couple on the others . Asked em nicely too . Didn't matter .
The only positive I can see from this trend is perhaps a few of them are honest and are questioning their own party's actions but possibly they're too proud to publicly say it .

Obama is a child.. . . a crafty child , but a child nonetheless .
Hillary is all that is bad in this world now , and ever has been .

Amazing that they blame us for voting for President Bush , although we voted for him BEFORE he did anything questionable . And on the other hand , they can see Hillary doing outrageous things BEFORE they vote for her , yet promise to do so anyway . That my friend is the mark of an insolent child who throws temper tantrums to get his way , and would never even consider rational discussion or agreement .

Answer 7

Since I don't plan on voting for either one of them, by golly, I think we finally agree on something. This is a blue ribbon day on that score alone. GWB's "stellar" military service record and running an oil company into bankruptcy hardly qualifies him to oversee any business or organization. Oh, and lest we forget, his drunk driving convictions, too. Giuliani or Romney would be acceptable to me although I would have to vote for them while holding my nose. Fortunately, there are other, more viable democratic candidates although Hillary and Obama are being shoved down our throats.

Answer 8

Obama and Hillary have Federal Government experience, one has White House experience.
Unlike Romney, or Guliani.

As to the crickets, they may be in your......couch?

Answer 9

George W. Bush "ran" a company? When? I mean, he was appointed to the auditing committee when he sat on the board of Harken, and he approved financial transactions that landed them in hot water with the SEC, and then he left, took his Harken stock and tried to start Arbusto Energy which should have been easy with him getting perferential contracts due to political connections, but that went belly-up. Really, you should make these claims more carefully.

Mrs Clinton was a partner in a profitable law firm. It didn't go bankrupt, and it didn't commit accounting fraud .

Answer 10

dear penelope,

you are surely the republican version of monica. too bad bush doesn't own a pair of balls. then you could accommodate him and he might have actually performed in a military role. people who go awol and receive a bcd, normally are convicted of a felony. they can't vote, and probably are not eligable to be president. unless, your daddy is rich and a politician.

i also wonder if your assessment of bush's business acumen is aware of the support of his old boy network. without that, he would still be getting an allowance from daddy. i heard his baseball executive skills were a joke.

guliani was made by 9-11. the new yorkers hated him before that event.
