All About McCain

[tracilicious]

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.

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.

True, and Palin may well be all of those things. But voting for her solely because she's female implies that you don't even care whether she's all those things. If someone thinks she's smart and a good leader and agrees with her politics then her being female should only be a bonus (if it factors in at all).
