You are going to use gender as a basis to determine your vote? That sounds so antiquated. Your reasoning is as bad as those that vote in either direction based on color.

Thinking Capacity is Non-Sexist!

Just curious. WHY don't you think a woman can do this job? Is it about weakness? Sarah Palin could probably beat up an old geezer like John McCain. Is it about guts? Palin has had the guts to stand up to political bullies, and shoot and kill large wild animals. Are you worried she might not be herself at "that time of the month'? Women don't go crazy during that - Well, on second thought, you might have a point there! ;-)

Briar, since when has there ever been a debate as to a gender for a public office? That includes the Presidency/Vice President. Rules and Regulations do not state a gender for public office. That also includes Gays and Lesbians and there a lot who hold a public office. I can just imagine how your mother feels about you. I sure she still loves you and that's what counts.

However, your manner of thinking is truely wild. Most people know that this is 2008 and not 1950, which is how most of the peole back then use to think.

I thought I had a problem with the female gender, but not like you do.

One major question? Do you know if you are alive?

Worldlyone, scooter, ken, sputter, tweety, nofear, is McCain too old? What about Obama; are his religious beliefs okay? Is it okay that he has a minority skin color? We’ve all heard it all. We can’t discriminate in the workplace or housing based on age, race, religion, or sex. However, when we vote they are up for grabs. The Republicans expect women to flock to vote for her, even crossing party lines. It only makes sense that the Republican Party expects some men to refuse to vote for her. I’m one.

These items: age, race, religion, and sex (Hillary) have all been debated to some degree. They lost my vote, and now, suddenly, it’s all normal. Perhaps I didn’t want a woman on the Republican ticket. We all discriminate (not necessarily, age, race, sex, religion, etc.), but based on our likes and dislikes. We do it when voting, or we shouldn’t vote!

Ken, It’s not if she can act like a man or not. It is, I believe, a man should shoulder the responsibility. Show me that there isn’t a man left in America for the job, and I’ll say, “I’ll take it, and you can be President.” And we will die saving the women.. Whee! Huuh!

Good point scooter; I don’t trust him either.

Women in combat and services like refueling, supply delivery and some other support roles was a bad move. Administration, medical, and Manufacturing at home etc. has been admirable and I wouldn’t take anything away from that.

Alabaman is the real and correct way to refer to me (a citizen of Alabama), like Arizonan. Alabamian has been forced on us by ignorant people that want to change everything they can touch. Some dictionaries still give this alternate spelling. Just wait; someone will be calling you scooter the Arizonian. Whee Huuh!

Brair, you're not in the stone age. That is just the liberals calling you that, but you are mistaken about having a woman on the ticket with McCain. A woman's role in the government is not the same as having a woman usurping authority via the scriptures. In Timothy, Paul was addressing behavior of women in church, and further stating that women are subject to men. He was talking about "within the church."

Judges 4:4 - And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

Taking a role in the government is just different than usurping authority over men within the church. The law (that is, legal law), is supposed to be a schoolmaster though. We have to see it thru a glass darkly, to borrow from (I think) Paul....
