Showing Original Post only (View all)Ryan Claims 'Going to Funerals' part of his Foreign Policy experience - Oh Palin! [View all]
It's scary to watch and think this sophomoric gym-rat would be a heartbeat away from the Presidency if elected to the White House. Apparently pushing a button to cast a vote in Congress amounts to extensive experience.
When questioned about his claims of having more experience in Foreign Policy than Obama, Paul Ryan defensively notes 'I Voted to send men and women to war' (for pete's sake-- ed.)
In his list of Foreign Policy experience, he includes his field trips to Iraq and Afghanistan, going to funerals, and speaking with family members of soldiers ALL as part of the reason he has more experience than Obama in Foreign Policy.
Really?
This is not a joke. This was from his appearance on Face the Nation this past Sunday. Paul Ryan is not only DANGEROUSLY UNQUALIFIED to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, his running mate Mitt Romney can't even handle a friendly trip to the UK without offending the entire country.
After watching this, I could only help but think of one thing...
... the fateful moment when Sarah Palin noted her OWN foreign policy experience by proudly proclaiming how she could see Russia from Alaska. I think someone needs to remind the GOP that if they truly loved their country, they wouldn't put such complete and utter failures up as candidates to potentially act as caretakers for the United States of America, it's Constitution, and centuries of principles.
There are no words when you see what stupidity lies in the Party of Reagan.
No words.
