Thread: Lets Talk Politics...

I honestly don't know, I've voted republican for he most part, though I have voted for moderate Democrats over liberal socially liberal Republicans like Giuliani. I can tell you who I'll NEVER vote for, ANYBODY with the name Clinton!

i'll vote for Lacey, w/ Tir as VP......

(remember?....politics and religion are 2 of the "taboo" topics amongst "friends".... )

Woman are too emotional. I think men should be in charge when it comes to running the country. I think with a good woman by his side though he can do an even better job.

I personally wouldn't vote for female but I'll admit that Hillary is a pretty strong chick and would probably do a great job. But I'm not going to vote for her. I'll probably vote for R.G.

Where's Ross Perot's ears when you need him? I guess I'll be writting his name in...again. Just kidding.

As for women being more emotional...that's nothing more than a hasty generalization. If we want to talk about facts, we'd say, men are more likely to kill themselves and in more violent ways than women. That's a fact. So, maybe more emotion would be beneficial in critical thinking?

I think it depends on the woman. I'd probably vote for Condi if she ran. She's smart, speaks four of five languages, is respected by most foriegn leaders and has had the good sense to stay out of most of the BS. She has more experience in foriegn policy than most of the presidents we've had. She tends to have a pretty logical reaction and deals in facts.

BTW, we had a woman president for eight years, it was just that she ran the country through her husband and NO ONE can accuse THAT woman of being emotional.

He, he...well said my dear-well said. In light of the fact there was only one president worth a flip, IMO, during my lifetime and he was assassinated, and since Teddy Roosevelt's not running, guess I'm voting for no one this time. I sure wouldn't vote for a woman that writes to Dear Abby...

Republican here...not really liking anyone for Pres at the moment. Certainly not Hitlary or Obama. Hillary I find especially offensive on just about every level...

Now I do not think a woman should be president. Men and woman are different that is a fact. We are physically and mentally different. Now maybe one day a woman will become president (wont be with my help) and hopefully if that happens she will prove me wrong.

Wow...I find this attitude really saddening. I would expect it from a chauvenist male (thank goodness not all men are!), but for a woman to think so lowly of her own gender. Wow. That's just sad. There have been wonderful and effective woman leaders throughout history.

True, women and men are different...but it doesn't mean we aren't equally capable of being leaders. The style may be different but it doesn't mean one is necessarily better than the other.

I'm almost falling off the charts on the liberal end, no joke.

That's all I will say as I don't want to start anything, nor do I want to respond to anything already started.

LOL That's a funny way to describe it...

I'm actually more of a social liberal, but a fiscal conservative. Once I got out of college and started making some real money, I choked every time I saw how much was taken out in taxes. Ugh. Makes me mad every time I think about it. Redistribution of wealth has no place in government. I had high hopes for W. - even voted for him twice. Unfortunately, the man has never seen a spending bill that he didn't like.

This is pretty amusing.

My mother, now well into her nineties, is the person whose picture you see when you look up 'Republican' in the dictionary. My son considers himself the most liberal person he knows. And even though he rarely demonstrates much in the way of good sense, he does not discuss politics with his grandmother.

I'm following his example, just this once, and I won't discuss politics with my new friends on the Dog Forum.

yep, Lacey/Tir looking better all the time
