All of the experience in the world doesn't mean diddly if the policies that arise from it are contrary to mine.

What about her? Why are you associating her with Bush or Cheney? She is merely a blip on the political horizon. A good-looking blip, but a blip.

Palin and her apparent inexperience and ignorance convinced a lot of people (like me) to vote for Obama. Mccain/Palin scared me far more than Obama/Biden did and does.

I had to vote McCain/Palin as the lesser of two evils. Unfortunately, most of our presidential candidates have fallen into that category since after Reagan.

There's a distinct difference between reading history and blaming history for current decisions.

Than you apparently interpret some folks derision of Bush/Cheney as a knee-jerk response of support for Obama/Biden. It has nothing to do with the present administration. After 6 months in office I already knew that I despised the Bush/Cheney administration. They earned my scorn on their own without any help from the present Administration.
On the other hand, Obama/Biden had earned my scorn prior to taking office and have done nothing to change my opinion.

I too believe in looking at history, but I recognize that it is simply as valuable as experience is to the old and the wise. It is only as useful as you make it. The problem arises when folks look at history and take it out of context or use it as a logical fallacy to explain away a position.

EDIT: In order to clarify, I don't blame Bush for anything to do with this present administration. I only blame him for what he did during his. The present administration has only themselves to blame.
