Reply #75: I am not saying that JE is the same as Bush, but there are similarities

[madmunchie]

in that JE voted more like a Repub - IWR, Bankruptcy, Patriot Act, Visas.... Has also talked about leaving all options on the table as far as Iran and that we could absolutely not allow Iran to get nukes. He is against gay marriage.... But he talks about being a Democrat and Democratic Voters, he points the fingers at Senators and Congressman that don't vote the way he thinks that the voters want them to vote, yet JE didn't stay in Congress to help clean up a mess that he was part of making. He left his fellow Democrats to do the dirty work. This all is very much the way that Bush has acted. Saying one thing while doing another, leaving a mess for someone else to clean up, pointing fingers and casting false blame....

I see a man that has done next to nothing to #1 PROVE that he is capable of making his policies work and that #2 he has the real intention to take the on furious battle (which is inevitable) once a new POTUS takes office and #3 I see no evidence of the vast knowledge that will be needed for the many complexities that will be needed to be effective.

I see very little PROOF from JE supporters that their man is qualified. There is little to nothing of evidence of what this man can show as qualifications. He cannot run on his record. He has very little public servant experience to talk about. He is just coming up with policies which, while they sound good, are a far cry from knowing how to implement them and how to make quick sound judgments on a day to day experience. He "analyzed" the info about Iraq and never shared it with us on what exactly persuaded him to vote and co sponsor it. He still as of this year talks hawkish about Iran in the same way that he talked about Iraq.....I see a fatally flawed candidate that has little but great rhetoric going for him, much like Bush.

There are similarities in their lack of qualifications to be POTUS and we sure know how 8 years with * turned out.
