Ah but you see, Aynne, white men have voted in white male candidates because they're the best choice, not because of their gender or skin shade. Everyone knows that when a white man votes for a white man, it's in the interest of the nation, but that when someone of a different colour or gender or both (god forbid!) votes for somebody with whom they share a few physical characteristics, they're being PC fascists, or anti-white racist, or anti-male sexist. Understandably, they're up in arms over the scandalous current situation (a black candidate?! A FEMALE?! Vade retro, Satanas!) . A scandalous turn of affair. How CAN you vote for Clinton, Aynne, you feminist [:D] ! What do you have against men, huh, huh [8\|] ?

Voting for their "own kind"? You see this is where there is a problem in many American voters. Our own kind is "Americans". A President should be selected that has the best qualifications, and if people feel Hillary has that, great. But to be discriminatory, especially after some of these same women have campaigned for "equality" among the genders, is just hypocrisy. Vote for who you feel is best to do the job, not based upon gender or racial lines. Do you disagree with this? Things were better with Bill Clinton, but they were not all roses then either. Bush sucks. Okay now that we have the red herrings taken care of, how can a person express a desire for people to be equal, and not judged on their gender or race, and then turn around and go against that same self ethic? Those are the ones I have a problem with. quote: ORIGINAL: Aynne And? People voting for their "own kind" is as old as time Orion. Some things just aren't as easily identifiable as gender. You know, like wealthy old white republicans voting for old wealthy white guys to maintain their status quo. Or african americans voting for Obama. And yes, women voting for Hillary because of her gender. Big deal. Personally wasn't my reason. I was fortunate enough to have lived through the first Clinton two term presidency, you remember, peace, prosperity and a budget surplus? The one that Bush recklessly squandered? quote: ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf Yeah pretty hypocritical of many of them, as many have said they are voting for her because she is a female. quote: ORIGINAL: Aynne Really? Then how do you explain Hillary securing by huge majorities the women's vote in the primaries? Women have swarmed to the polls in record numbers to cast their ballot for her.

I have voted for male, female, black, white, hispanic and asian, depending upon the person and the office. You see I vote in local and state elections as well. As far as President, there have not been anyone other than white males I have felt like voting for, until this year. I seriously looked at Obama, because I cannot vote McCain and his policies in. After doing a lot of looking I decided to vote Libertarian. Bob Barr does not have a chance of winning, but the ever increasing vote for independents starts to show the other two parties the dislike there is for their same old tired rhetoric. quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol Ah but you see, Aynne, white men have voted in white male candidates because they're the best choice, not because of their gender or skin shade.

quote: ORIGINAL: MichiganHeadmast quote: ORIGINAL: parttimehotty Why would you brag about this? [sm=danger.gif] See, I'm with you. In November I will probably make the decision to vote for McCain. I will have voted for the best under the circumstances, but far from ideal. And I won't be bragging. I'll just go home and continue my life. You mean you think your already disinfranchized vote counts? Hasn't ANYONE paid attention? You vote doesn't count...the unregulated vote of a deligate is what matters here. Someone who does NOT have to vote along the lines of their district. Let's not get into the actual election. Want change? Start making it a popular vote election and see some real change. And the Michigan and Florida votes go on not having any weight....just like everybody else's.

Popular vote might prove to fair for the people in power.

[sm=applause.gif][sm=applause.gif][sm=applause.gif] Good to hear. I can't STAND when I hear all that rah-rah "sisterhood" crap. Just because she's a woman, she expects every woman to vote for her. Hell my ex said she'd vote for anyone other than her. She's alienating many women, at least the ones I've met and talked to. I kep hearing the line "I wanted to vote for her because I'm a woman....but I just can't. I don't like her policies." Or words to that effect. I don't believe I said anything derrogatory about Hillary...I just don't plan on voting for her. I did however say that I have a lot of peers at college voting for Hillary because she's a female and did say that if thats the only reason they are voting for her then we're in a pretty sad state of affairs.
