I don't know who the people are but an amazing likeness to McCain and Palin!

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

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

You say you mean one issue voters, but then go on to say it is understandable, particularly with your one issue.

To you it may seem like an issue of genetics. To other women, it is symbolic of the obstacles women have faced in their lifetimes.

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

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

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).

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.
