I guess Australia, the UK, Spain, and others don't have independent thought and decision-making?
No, we really don't. Well I don't know about Australia and Spain, but here in the UK, we don't. Don't worry, we're working on getting that changed. Over here, government have MUCH more power than in your country. Over in the US, the people can actually, sometimes, possibly change things that your fed government sometimes does. Over here, no chance whatsoever. You can't even count on individual politicians making a stand or listening to the people. Saying that, ontop of the fact that our politicians would blindly follow the US anywhere it goes, there was fuck all we could do except watch.
France is a country that did have independent thought, that led to wide spread anti-French sentiment throughout your country. Although at the end of the day, France gained a few levels of respect doing what it wanted to do, and the UK lost just about any respect it had left on the international stage.
I suppose it is our fault for voting the cunts in. But who would've thought a leftist socialist party (Labour) would be so fucking neocon. Played us all like a bunch of fools. Not that I would ever vote for party like Labour (back then, too young to vote)

Considering how long Bush was governor before being president, that should show you how much experience matters....
Apparently it means more for the VP candidate than it does for the top job.
Make your mind up. Your first post, you're talking about how experience is all the rage and how even Osama has more experience than Obama...
And then, just as someone brings up a post about Bush, and how much experience he had and how that led to nowhere. You suddenly switch on the "well look at how much they care about experience when it comes to the VP" (probably talking about how everyone says Palin isn't ready..?) - Make your mind up, on one hand, it looks like you're defending (Palin?) from the people who are talking about her inexperience. On the other, you're complaining that Obama has no experience and even Osama has more.
I like the way you dodged Turquoises response though. You brought up the experience card, and then someone brought up a counter and then you mention something else and flip your position on the matter whilst doing that...without actually responding to what he said.
