Political Resumes: The following is to show how incomparable the nominees’ resumes are. John McCain is qualified and experienced. Obama has accomplished nothing in his life besides winning elections. John McCain (condensed version):

John McCain graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1958.

McCain requested a combat assignment so he could put his life on the line for his country despite the fact that there was a strong chance he would lose his life. John McCain was almost killed on July 29, 1967 when he was at the epicenter of the Forrestal fire. He escaped from his burning jet and was trying to help another pilot escape when a bomb exploded.

While on a bombing mission over North Vietnam, he was shot down, badly injured, and captured as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese. He was a prisoner of war for 6 years.

The North Vietnamese wanted release McCain to make it look to other POWs that elites like McCain were willing to be treated preferentially. McCain said no and was tortured horribly for turning down release. This shows he is able to put his country before himself.

He commanded a large squadron of ships while in the Navy.

He has been a United States congressman for 26 years.

He is a Ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee.

Member of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs.

Showed an ability to negotiate with people who disagree with him by joining Senator Feingold to pass Campaign Finance Reform despite fellow republicans claiming the bill was not conservative enough. He showed he could put his country before his party allegiances. This is something Barack Obama has never done.

He spearheaded the line-item veto bill.

He was Chairman of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee.

He stood up against Donald Rumsfeld’s Iraq strategy despite resistance from his party. The change in strategy that resulted is credited for major progress made in the Iraq war.

His mentor and friend is William Ayers former member of the Weathermen and convicted bomber of the Pentagon. He was an Illinois State senator for 7 years. Barack attended the church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright where he learned radical anti-Americanism in the form of Black Liberation Theology.
