Graybeard: I respect your opinion but disagree about women. I think what you are responding to is the fact that those women (California) are freakin' liberal Democrats. In the case of a liberal Democrat, it mattereth not whether they are male or female -- they both suck. What did you think about Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meier, and Indira Ghandi? They kicked ass, in my recollection. I think Kay Bailly Hutchison of Texas hasn't been too bad as a US Senator from my home state of Texas. Women bring something to the table that men don't have. Granted, they have limitations based on their sex, but they have some advantages, I assume, that are related to their sex. But we are certainly in agreement that the wealth redistributor (socialism), gun banner Obama would be a disaster.
