Let me guess... you're one or more of:
1. 18 yrs. old or less and "have it all figured out".
2. A wife who doesn't like the way her husband "adores" Gov. Palin.
3. Gay.
4. A female who's had an abortion or male who pushed a female to have one.
5. A Socialist Democrat (believes in "free" provision of health care and energy).
6. Suffers from Alzeimer's Disease (Palin is a standing governor, so NOT a "joke" de facto).

See i think this is hilarious that you can rant and rave that the reason people are bashing her is because she is a women. Maybe you should go and talk to the 60 percent of Kentuckians who voted for McCain that based their vote on NOT VOTING FOR A BLACK MAN. It was instant that the McCain campaign began searcing through Obama's life and used right wing propaganda to try to scare america. Based on that he had lived in another country, that his father was not a straight american decendent and so forth. The arguments you make can be turned right back on you, try looking at it from both side as hard as it maybe.:Thumbs:

You interviewed everyone who voted for McCain and this is the reason they gave? I doubt it. Skin color had no bearing on my vote (I am one of the 60% you must have forgotten to ask) my vote was based on the fact that Obama is pro-abortion to a fault, socialistic in his policies, and quite frankly, had some shady relationships that I couldn't quite get past. I think before you state something of this nature you better have the facts to back it up.

I was meaning Big red 60 percent of the people who voted for McCain meaning 40% of those who voted for McCain skin color had no bearing on their decision. It is a generalization much as your pro McCain friend over there did with Palin.:Thumbs:

I take it you have done the footwork to provide the statistics to this. In all honesty I'd say no more than 10% of McCain supporters in this state voted for McCain because Obama is black.
I'd say a larger number voted for McCain because they thought Obama might be a Muslim.

Same point that I am trying to convey. Either way the point I am trying to get across is if you want to make the argument that people are against Palin because she is a women. Thus, making the argument that many of those same people are being sexist. You must look at the counter point of people being racist. That is my point Bettle, honestly I know of at least 100 people at JUST Pikeville College whom I either have class with or associate with on a weekly bases who have stated one or the other. That they (1) Voted for McCain because Barack Obama is a terriorist or (2) They would never vote for a black man (however using other dirragatory language). I am not saying all McCain supporters were like that but many were. Probley more McCain supporters placed there vote on that rather then being sexist and not voting for McCain because he had a women as his running mate. I could care less if your black, white, hispanic, male, female, heterosexual, homosexual, etc. if I believe you could run this country better that is why I am voting for you. If I think you could lead us in the right direction better then the man or women who stands next to you making counter points, then I am going to vote for you.

I still don't get some of the attacks on here.
I am a College Graduate and a Veteran of the Military.
I have a job too BTW.
I wonder how many of the people that bash me are of military age but too full of cowardice to serve.
They have plenty of courage to debate on a political forum but when it comes to walking the walk they look for a wheelchair.
Cowards I say,.....Cowards!
At least Vundy33 is serving. The rest of you don't deserve to wear the uniform.

I want to understand here: are you saying that the exercise of free speech becomes an act of cowardice if a person is of sign up age but doesn't enlist?

He's just saying he's "earned" the right to express his far-left socialist views, while he questions the manhood of some of his (tough-talking) conservative detractors.
Did I get that about right, DW ??

I don't think DW is a socialist, nor is a person a socialist when he or she believes there are things the government can do better than private enterprise.

Not with a magnet and political blogging. Support the war you voted for is all I'm asking here.

Yes but if Obama was more conservative and not a liberal, then more of those people might vote for him. Sure there are people out there who won't vote for a black guy. Just like there are black people who won't vote for white people, or only vote for black candidates.
I didn't vote for Obama, I dislike most of his policies he ran on, although honestly I think once he's in there and finds out the truth about whats going on in the world, he will become more moderate, hopefully. I think you've seen a drastic change in him, even leading up to the elections, because the DOD had already begun briefing both campaigns on security and defense issues. Then you saw Obama and Biden make some interesting comments. Like a little kid that just found out Santa isn't real.
I would vote for Colin Powell in a heartbeat if he ran, if he still holds his conservaive values he had years ago. People change, and he did support Obama. So that makes me either think he's changed his values some, or he supported Obama because he is black. Which really, if I was black, I would probably have voted for Obama.
