Now, I want to know if gender is really NOT an issue anymore. When did it get swallowed up? Is gender really not an issue? When did we get past having a female VP and possibly female President in 2012? Did I miss the end of the political and media debates on this?
I don’t believe that women should be called upon or handed the responsibility of leading a Nation or People in dire circumstances. Leading a private business is okay and great. Leading the World is not—because I BELIEVE, and stand by it that it’s a man’s responsibility.
I predict that McCain will see a low voter turnout in Alabama. I know they lose my vote. Period.

McCain’s choice of Running Mate may put Alabama in the Obama Camp.
Call me a dinosaur. Call me old fashioned. Call me all alone, but you won’t catch me voting for a woman to lead this country or any other, not even if it were Joan of Arc herself. Count me out because the Republican Party has finally proved to me that they have engaged as liberal a ticket as the other party. They may gain some women votes but they have surely lost mine.
I’ve stood by them through many stupid blunders, like, not throwing Clinton out after impeachment, and like giving in on the Brady bill and other gun bills. Like I trusted them and the Democrats on NAFTA, and like I am being patient for them to act on Illegal Immigration.
This goes to prove that they have lost their minds and are silly in their thoughts and deeds. They are not the party of principal and don’t care about taking their responsibilities seriously. Not only that, but I wonder if anyone at their table ever brought up the fact that they would lose all the votes of men and women that stand by this principal not to have a women leading the country. I’d bet that they would not understand that, or they would not think that people actually have principals about it and that I will not change my principals to vote for them. I’ll actually vote for another party. Bye-Bye..
I just can’t vote for a woman. I never have. I don’t believe that women should be called upon or handed the responsibility of leading a Nation or People in dire circumstances. Leading a private business is okay and great. Leading the World is not—because it’s a man’s responsibility.
I predict that McCain will see a low voter turnout and has put some states, including Alabama, in the Obama column; although, he won the primary here.
Anybody have a sensible suggestion of whom I should vote?

When asked during a televised interview, whom he would support for President (McCain Clinton, or Obama), I saw Warren E. Buffett (Net worth 62 Billion US dollars), answer surprisingly to me, because he is one of those “rich folks”; He said, “well, I think either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama would make a fine President.” This set me to thinkin’ as to why he would like that outcome?
Well I considered additional social programs, social healthcare, growing government involvement and government expansion into the welfare of Americans, more government taxes, and people generally bein’ kept better by the government. This will have an effect to easily satisfying a greater number of the populace.. Altogether, people will have less to worry about. You can quit trying to bust your hump to get ahead because 70% of your income will go to taxes for the “disadvantaged” of our society. Everyone can be more satisfied with their needed government assistance. Heck, six weeks guaranteed vacation is okay with me, since those “rich folks” will be a payin’ fer it—Right?
Wrong. When these things happen and you can, practically, no longer get ahead by hard work; you, too, may settle in for a comfortable life instead of studying hard to become a great surgeon or whatever. Here’s the kicker.. When people become satisfied with what they have and the Government is meeting the needs of “its people”, and everyone is finally comfortable, then, most and almost all profits made above the bare minimum needed to keep all these folks happy is goin’ somewhere else.. You know that extra bit of somethin’ you were willing to bust your hump for? It’s gone; it’s gone to the top. Everything above the bare minimum of what the people need to keep them satisfied is out of our hands and fueling the fires of the Benefactors.
