The Experience of Office?

I am not a huge fan of Rudy Giuliani. I am more or less a single issue voter and I would have to say his treatment of my issue has been overall pretty crappy.

However, despite my misgivings about him, I am downright frightened of Hillary Clinton. Giuliani made a great point about her experience in a news flash I read on Drudge and I am wondering why more folks aren't picking up on this:

R. GIULIANI: "Honestly, in most respects, I don't know Hillary's experience. She's never run a city, she's never run a state. She's never run a business. She has never met a payroll. She has never been responsible for the safety and security of millions of people, much less even hundreds of people.
"So I'm trying to figure out where the experience is here. It would seem to me that in a time of difficult problems and war we don't want on the job training for an executive. The reality is that these areas in which - maybe there are
some areas in which she has experience but the areas of having the responsibility of the safety and security of millions of people on your shoulders is not something Hillary has ever had any experience with."

Truth be told, Hillary basically came into office off name recognition and really doesn't have any experience running anything. She was an associate at a law firm in Arkansas. We all saw how wonderfully that worked out for the country.

However, no one is talking about this. But then again - when is the last time someone did have relevant real-world experience and wasn't just another wishy-washy politician saying whatever they thought would get them elected?

I don't really pay enough attention to really comment, but I think most of the candidates are pretty bad in this race and it's amazing how close the 'politics' are on these supposedly different sides of the political fence. Pro-war Democrats? Anti-gun Republicans?

Be that as it may, I refuse to fall into the vote for this person, so this person doesn't get elected mindset that has plagued American voters for the past generation or so.

If we really do want change for the better, we'll have to support real people that are outside of the Establishment's political machine.
