Is it really such a horrible offense to vote for Hillary because she's a woman?

Just wondering. And for the record, I voted for Obama over Hillary, and it wasn't because he was black, but because I liked his policies, energy, and the idea that he could help the country recover from George W., who I actually voted for (much to my everlasting regret).

So now comes Hillary again, and already I hear folks either accusing others of supporting her simply due to her sex - or - saying that they support her but that their support has nothing to do with her sex.

But so what if it does? What if I want to vote for Hillary (or Warren if she were to run) simply because I think it would be good for women (and our culture in general) to have a female president? What if I think it would help the status of women (especially older women) in our country to have her in office, and what is wrong with my thinking that and voting for her for that reason? Would I still not be voting for a solid reason?

Also, being a resident of a rural county in the Bible Belt, I have heard men say they won't for a woman, period. One even said a woman had no business being elected to any office. Isn't that just problematic as voting for a woman because she is a woman?

3. Yes, it is a silly reason.

The leader of the free world ought to have much more serious reasons to be elected than gender.
This is the person with a finger on the nuclear button. I would want something more than gender or "It's her turn." to decide who becomes responsible for a nuclear arsenal.

Would you vote for Sarah Palin if she were the only woman running? (I would, but I'm a Tea Party Conservative)

Hillary has some serious baggage. A recent poll by Politico (liberal biased) said her numbers were falling due to the public finding her untrustworthy. Lies, corruption, scandals follow her everywhere.

I could respect your views better if you were voting for Elizabeth Warren. She is a solid liberal, who (apart from claiming she was an Indian to get a high paying job at a university) isn't otherwise known for spin and lies.

8. Hell must have just frozen over...

because I agree with you.


Voting for a woman just because she's a woman kind of puts the female candidate's views on the back burner. It also makes those women voters look a bit silly. Why fight for gender equality, if all it takes to get votes is female plumbing.

20. What's the difference between . . .

voting for Hillary because she's a woman vs. voting for Mike Huckabee because he is an evangelical Christian, if both voters are simply voting for someone representative of themselves?

25. Because he represents a series of defined beliefs, and not a sex organ.

bad analogy, but I ran with it.
Don't fall over, but a liberal answers a direct question...

9. "Would you vote for Sarah Palin if she were the only woman running?"

No, but I remember hearing a man say they wouldn't vote for her because she was a woman, which really irritated me as much as I disagree with Palin politically.
Conservative women don't count. and then we resort to a bouncy to justify her dismissal.

The left rarely lets qualifications get in the way. In fact, they kind of ignore them with race and sex.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Hillary has the vote locked in.....she's a b!tchy, white, lesbian, communist, democrat.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

That would be an extremely shallow, short- sighted, and stupid reason to vote for someone to be elected president.

Da Mannn will likely be tombstoned for what he said.

This is why:


...and you didn't vote for Bush, liar.
              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

69 million morons thought it was a great idea to vote for Obama because he was Black in 2008.  How did that turn out?

Leftists only have one qualification when it comes to voting and that is "what is the easiest path into someone elses wallet".

No it's horrible to vote for her because her policies suck.

She's Obama in a Mau suit.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

All the libs and so called moderates who voted for owebuma to assuage their white guilt, I hope they don't get a bit of respite from their white guilt.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
