John McCain has admitted on many occasions that "economics isn't my strong suit". Isn't this like an airline pilot flying you through a storm and announcing over the PA system that "flying isn't my strong suit"?
How about his supposed strength, foreign policy? This past week, he seemed to lack even a basic understanding of the main factions fighting in Iraq: “We continue to be concerned about Iranians taking Al Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back .... Well, it’s common knowledge and has been reported in the media that Al Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran. That’s well known.”
The above quote is no slip of the tongue. It shows an utter lack of understanding about the political dynamics of that region. It's no wonder that McCain is committed to fighting Middle Eastern wars for 100 years.
I think McCain's a decent man, but he might be as ill-informed and mentally incompetent as the current US president. I've voted for conservatives in the past, but I really find McCain's lack of competence a little scary. Any McCain supporters out there who can defend this man's ability to lead the US through treacherous economic and political times?
