I was going to say the same thing but then thought I might seem culturally illiterate or something. No clue who they are.

It's more about deal breakers. If someone has ten deal breakers, but one issue that I'm aligned with, I'm still not voting for them. If someone has ten issues that I'm aligned with and one major deal breaker, I'm still not voting for them. Abortion is one, but there are others.

But to vote for someone solely because they have the right anatomy even if you wholly disagree with their politics is just offensive. To all women. I mean, I'm down with pvssy pride and all that, but to vote in such a way implies that you don't think a woman will come along with the brains, power, and leadership abilities that you normally look for in a candidate, so you have to take the first pair of tits on any ticket, regardless.

They are characters from Battlestar Gallactica, believe it or not!

Well, there is nothing to suggest that Palin isn't smart or a leader. If someone disagrees with you it does not mean they are not smart or a good leader.

I disagree politically with....well, the vast majority of people here....but don't think they are stupid. Well, not all, anyway. ;)

At least with Palin we don't have to worry about her shooting anybody in the face accidentally, she's quite a hunter/ice fisher.

I haven't seen any woman in this thread who agrees with this assesment.

She's also trying to remove polar bears from the endangered species list.

If there are so many women who will vote for a woman candidate only on that basis, then Elizabeth Dole's run for the presidency in 2000 wouldn't have flamed out before the first primaries. I don't think any significant number of Hillary supporters will be drawn to Palin.

JWBear 08-30-2008 11:01 AM

Oh... for the record... My mother, a diehard life long Republican, does not like the choice of Palin. She thinks McCain was "stupid" to pick her because "He just did it to try and get Hillary supporters to vote for him".

True. Out of the ....7 women? or however many that are posting in this thread, you are certainly correct.
