Also consider that the VP and the Cabinet are full of some of the most experienced men in the country who have worked for every Republican administration since Nixon. Look where it got us.

If experience means Cheney, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, etc, then no thank you. I will take inexperience in the White House this time.
Yes and ALL of the president's men have been in and out of government for many many presidents dating back to Nixon. They had experience all right. They knew EXACTLY how to use the government in breathtaking ways to gain power and money for themsleves and their friends. That's the kind of experience we got and that's the kind we don't need.

They knew exactly how to use the Justice Department to go after Democrats. How to use the EPA to relax rules for environmental offenders. How to use the Defense Department to whack poor defenseless countries. How to use the office of the president to please the religious kooks with its Office of Faith Based Initiatives. How to use the FDA to ban the morning after pill again to please the religious kooks. How to use the Park Service to push creationism. How to use the Supreme Court to turn back consumer protection. How to use the rules of the House and the Senate to make sure the Democrats didn't get in their way. How to muzzle scientists at NASA who didn't agree with global warming adminsitration critics.

Oh yes THEY HAD EXPERIENCE. They knew exactly how to use goverment. But not for the people.
