Seems like "experience" is only a criteria they pay attention to if it helps their side.

    I think Trump can probably get away with a lack of political experience because his business experience can be (claimed to be) relevant. Carson just isn't a serious candidate experience-wise. I think he would lose incredibly horribly in the general because of that. For both that reason, and his excessive lying, I'd love to see him win the Republican primary.
    It somewhat surprises me that, given my views regarding the importance of experience, I need to say anything regarding my support (or lack thereof) of candidates with no experience.

      What I said is that I've seen no evidence of WLH 203 being renovated to that extent. I never claimed to be basing that solely on looking at the picture supplied.

      It's not a Christian thing to circle the wagons when someone is caught out lying for Jesus. As a Christian, I have a very low tolerance for people incorporating God into lies. Call it a character flaw if you wish.

        Translation: "He's a republican, therefore I will do anything in my power to call him a liar because he doesn't have a D next to his name."

        See, isn't that more honest than pretending that you're not just a partisan hack that will do anything in his power to make somebody with an R next to their name sound like evil incarnate?

          Then why didn't you just leave that out, since it's downright goofy and proves nothing, AND, it's way out of your wheelhouse (as you would say )?

          Circle the wagons? And - If he's lying, and there appears to be some problems in that area, he's lying for Ben - not for Jesus. This is what I would expect atheists to say.

          As a Christian I have a very low tolerance for people incorporating God into lies.
          Yeah, cause Christians always love to jump on other Christians accusing them of "lying for Jesus".

          Call it a character flaw if you wish.
          Sounds more like jackassery.

            I think your real character flaw is insisting that someone is lying when you have no proof to support the accusation, and there is evidence that exonerates them.

                    Being a CPA I am sure you know the difference between tax rates and tax revenue?

                    As a political expert I am sure you know that Trump is for raising taxes on the "Rich".

                    Trump said his tax plan is going to cost him personally a lot of dough.

                      I pretty much knew you meant, you Fundy Atheist.

                      I'm glad you know the U.S. of A. will better off with an ontological naturalist gubbernment.

                      Aren't you a furrener anyhoo?

                      How 'bout yo mind yer own beeswax and concentrate on pushing the gubmint of whatever part the defunct Empire in which you reside towards enlightened Fundola Atheism.

                        If there's one politician out there who personifies the need to verify rhetoric, it's Trump.
