Good Ole Republican Double Standard
|
|
When Bill Clinton ran for president in 1992 the republicans claimed he was a governor of a "small" state and therefore didn't really have the executive experience needed to be president. They also claimed he lacked the foreign policy experience to be a world leader.
Now John McCain and the republicans are defending Sarah Palin's minimal experience as the mayor of a town of 7,000 and her 20 months as governor of Alaska which has a population less than a third of Arkansas'. Palin has no foreign policy experience in the least and McCain defends her by saying she has good judgement rather than experience. Almost word for word what Obama has said about his own qualificaions.
No matter how you slice it the republicans are playing their double standard card again. Democrats don't let them. Point out the gross hypocrisy.

It's the Bill O'Reilly overtalk your opponent butt in and keep talking nonsense at 120 decibels Republican strategy. I take heart in the knowledge that Democrats, unlike most Republicans, can still walk without the assistance from another so we have an advantage at registering new voters.
Look at McCain's ads. He is blaming Obama for the deficits, the oil problem and accuses him of being a Washington insider despite the fact it has been republican policies directly responsible for deficits and giving big oil exactly what it wants. It has been McCain who has been right in the middle of Washington for more than 25 years and it is McCain who has supported Bush and other republicans who are wholly controlled by the lobbyists. Hypocrisy in action.
