I happen to think gender is the most important issue in this election.


In the grand scheme of things, I think it's much more important that a woman be elected to the highest position of power and status in the world.

If that women is up to the task and acceptable to those who elect her, I consider that more important than just about any other issue. And if she is elected by a diverse people, then likely she would address many of the other pressing issues as well.

I happen to think ability is the most important issue in this election, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

In the grand scheme of things, I think it's much more important that a person who is capable of doing the job be elected to the highest position of power and status in the world.

If that person is up to the task and acceptable to those who elect him or her, I consider that more important than just about any other issue. And if she or he is elected by a diverse people, then likely he or she would address many of the other pressing issues as well.

You know, I'm not a fan of Hillary. I'm not going to cry myself to sleep over who wins the Dem nomination. But, I think it's rather ridiculous that this conversation has gone on this far on the basis of gender or race. Okay... I get it... can we get over those issues and get into some other ones? If that's the basis you're voting on someone for, then fine, cool, whatever. And for everyone else, if that's the basis they're voting on, then just be fine, cool, whatever... and move on. Because minds just aren't going to be changed over something as huge and polarizing as that. Please. For the sake of humanity!

Not that anyone else will. Guaranteed the pundits will keep going on and on and on and on about the same retarded issue of gender or race until the decision has been made.

It could be that a perjorative like 'dickhead' is usually gender-specific for males we don't like and 'bitch' is gender-specific for females we don't like. Thus, McCain is a dickhead and Hillary is a bitch in the uncivilized world of politics. Maybe it's not any deeper than that.


For the record, I'll take dickhead McCain over bitch Hillary, but my preference is for the ****** Obama.

OK, I literally choked on my water... I wish I could have been cool and spit, but I didn't feel like cleaning my desk. Well done, STC, well done...

I still agree on that one. - it's interesting to see that Oprah's choice of Candidate confirms that she don't want no woman in this [your] country to be near as powerful as her !!
