Default Would you vote for a woman? - 06-16-2005, 11:07 AM

Yes or no. Let's ignore what party they would be in. If they have the same credentials as a man ... would you vote for them?

Why, or why not?

Here are a few arguements that i will throw out the window:

She's on her rag ... i've lived with 3 woman all my life and yes they can get pissy, but they still can function.

She could get pregnant ... Who in their right mind would get pregnant during their term? Thats just rediculous.

Some legitimate points could be other countries that are still male dominated wouldn't give her respect, etc...

Diasbled?

Paralysis?

FDR?

Polio?

- Yes, I would vote for a woman, just to have a "first" and possibly a "last".

yes of course. This is america after all. If i liked what I saw, and was optimistic about what she could do for the country then why the hell not? Im not here to judge her based on gender, im here to judge her based on if she would make a good president. That goes for blacks, mexicans, arabs, immigrants, homos, trans, etc etc. I dont care about any of that. I care about what positive changes they can institute while in office. And I am really danm surprised that people who proudly call themselves americans tend to forget the reasons why this country was founded. For freedom. Freedom.

that made me lol

In this day in age, I would not vote for a female president (if it was a toss up between a great male and a great female). Yeah, America could definately cope with a female leader, but I'm not sure about the rest of the world. I have nothing against women and politics, but I sure do know that other countries do. With arab and asian relations being key in our foreign policy, I do think a male would get more respect by foreign countries.

Now if the rest of the world started to change like North America in their judgment about females, I would have no problem voting for a woman.

i guess u do have a point, but then again, does that mean we should not elect jews, since many arab countries hate em, and homos because it is against their religion i believe, into office? All because we are afraid to worsen our relations with these countries?

if you look at america's voting history, I think all of the presidents have a "pretty damn white" heritage. They have that German-Hungarian, Irish, German, English?, etc.

and trunks, I do believe that we should pick the 'straight, white, male' as president AS LONG AS they have the same credentials. Now if the lesbo candidate seemed better fit for the position, there is a fine line of how much you will sacrifice to place your vote for her. I don't think any of us can definatively make that disctinction. Alot of it has to due with the residing circumstances of the time.
