Would You Vote a Woman into Presidential Office?

Would you vote for a woman running for president if she held your political views?

Both. I do not believe that women were ever intended to be involved in the political process at any level. Not as voters, poll workesr, campaign staff members, or candidates.

This isn't going to go well.
 
I'm asking a rhetorical question; a situation that exists in a fictional universe.

It doesn't work in any universe. It is not possible for a woman to be in line with my political thinking and to be active in politics. To be in line with my belief system she is automatically NOT invovled in politics on ANY level.

Watching Tigger's meltdown if she won would just be a fun bonus. :mrgreen:

No. It would be very short and unless you happened to be in my condo at the time the "meltdown" probably wouldn't ever come to your attention unless you got to clean the mess off the walls and ceiling afterwards.

This isn't going to go well.

Why not?

You haven't given any rationale that I can see.

Tradition, for one thing. There is a deep-rooted, instinctual reason why there have not been any major matriarchal societies in the world in the last millenium. The societies you find which are matriarchal in nature tend to be small, clan or family based socieites rather than larger onese. Women are not and never have been designed to be in charge of large political structures. It's not what they were designed for.
 
I would not vote for a woman for ANY political office, for ANY reason. Period.

that ranks as one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen on this board
 
If I thought she was qualified, sure why not? I wouldn't vote for a woman just because she's a woman though.
 
True leadership and personal integrity are VERY rare,
Why would we exclude half of our population from the list based on gender?
 
Who's her VP?

How about for this reason..... Some of us do not believe that personal integrity for a woman includes being involved in politics.

Tigger, While I cannot agree with you,
I admire that you stand firmly where you stand.
Unto thy own self be true!
I am glad we are both free to believe as we each see fit.

Thank goodness that's not your decision to make! ;)

Personal integrity and politics don't mix whatever your gender.

I'm probably not quite as glad as you are that we're free to have this difference of opinion, but it is the way the current system works.

Thank goodness that's not your decision to make! ;)

It's my decision to make for myself and for those who want to be involved in my life. My current girlfriend, who will hopefully someday be my wife is 31 years old and has never voted in a single election. She agrees with me that she shouldn't be voting.

Only because the voters do not require it in their candidates. That's why I end up leaving so much of every ballot BLANK rather than voting for the "lesser of two evils". I actually expect people to WALK the TALK.
 
Oh, and why is that, TD?

because it is sexist idiocy

so you wouldn't vote for Dr Rice if she was running against Obama?

Or another Dame Margaret Thatcher?

or Elizabeth Dole

I can think of dozens of women more competent to be president than the affirmative action poster child

No, I would not vote for any of those three over Obama. Now, I wouldn't vote for Obama either, for different reasons. I do not believe in the ideal of "the lesser of two evils". I will not vote for ANYONE who I believe to be "evil".

I can think of dozens of women more competent to be president than the affirmative action poster child

I can think of dozens of MEN more competent to be POTUS than any of those women.

so having a dick makes one more competent? the world is full of far lefties that also are big dicks

vote for the ideas and the policies not what type of undergarments someone wears
 
I'm a Green. I'm voting for two women.

Do you think women are evil?
 
She agrees with me that she shouldn't be voting.

Your potential future wife thinks that no female should ever vote, simply because they were not born with a penis?
That's what she thinks? Honestly?

(this is the kind of crap that makes me think you're nothing but a huge troll on this type of topic - I'm still on the fence as if you're sincere or trolling)
 
I don't understand why so many people are giving one poster the attention he desperately craves. This thread is not about Tigger. He is but one of 34 people who have responded to the poll so far but is dominating 99% of the converstion here. He is only able to do this because some of you guys are happily giving him the platform to do so.

His views are that of a very tiny minority that is never ever going to have any real power. That is reality.

I believe that Ann Coulter (like it or not she is certainly educated and informed on politics) noted that the country would be better off if women couldn't vote because only JOHNSON won the male vote of all dems who have run since Harding (first president where women voted)

in other words, the dems never would have won with Kennedy (huge female gender gap, same with Clinton and Carter) or even FDR if only men voted.

Having a dick doesn't make you competent. Having a dick makes it potentially possible for you to be competent. Though it's actually more about the chromosomes than it is about the appendage itself.
