Attitudes towards a woman President

[Gabu]

Option 5

I would vote for who I regard to be the most qualified and shares my views.  That holds regardless of whether they are Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Man, Woman, Streight or Gay.  I would never vote for some simply because they are one of those, because it would be another form of Affirmative Action, which is never beneficial to society.  In the 2000 primary, that candidate for me was Elizabeth Dole, until she dropped out.

You know, for your being my mirror image in the Political Compass, we sure seem to agree on a lot.

I read an article that said their periods attract bears!  The bears can smell the menstruation!

Depends. If the election was about trust, I lean to women. If it was about leading, I trust the man. Option 2 for me.

option 2.

gender's a total non-issue for me. The only reason I'd be more inclined to support someone because of their gender is if it was a woman like Stephanie Herseth and really hot.

Pig!

[PBrunsel]

I would vote for a woman for President if she shared my political views. I feel gender is no true issue.

[YRABNNRM]

I would vote for a woman. However I must admit unfortunatly something doesn't sit right with me about having a woman for a president...

[Nation]

I'd have to REALLY agree with her views. Somebody like Landrieu, Lincoln, or Collins I could definitely vote for (realistic candidates).

The mirror image of a moderate is... a moderate.

you're not a moderate. You like Ann Coulter and Henry Kissinger.

Option number 3.

Same here I would be scared that someone will try to kill her when is is in office

[Alcon]

If she had proven herself a capable leader with integrity, why would people be so nervous about a woman president? I just don't understand it.

[Platypus]

who cares?

if anything, i might lean slightly towards voting for a woman because I know she'd lose anyway, so sorta a sympathy vote

[GLOBAL DICTATOR]

Doubtful I would vote for a woman to be commander in chief of the armed forces, but I would if she was the most qualified candidate (likely by virtue of all the other ones sucking).

You're Not an Idiot!Not in this case anyway. I agree with you here.  A woman should never be President of the United States of America. Tradition does count for something. They also shouldn't be preachers/ministers.

Very few Presidents have been preachers/ministers.  I'm not seeing a relationship here.

Uh, "tradition"? All presidents have also had blue eyes. Does that mean we should never elected a brown-eyed president?

Tradition counts for something, but tradition is not an excuse to never change. Tradition is simply a blockade when it interferes with progress.

Progress is not having a woman President.

Actually, by definition, progress means "going forwards." That would be changing nothing, so it wouldn't be progress.

Why is not electing women a tradition? It just has not happen. By that argument, slavery was a tradition, as was the feeding of Christians to lions.

Behind quoting the Bible to tell someone they are wrong, saying "we shouldn't do that because we have not done it before" is my least favorite argument for anything.

O.K., It's time to learn how to read.

I said that women should also not be preachers/ministers. I never said that any of our Presidents have been Preachers/Ministers. You weren't suppose to see any correlation, because no inference to any relationship between the 2 occupations was made.

Nobody is saying that.  There are, however, some excellent people that would make good president that happen to be women.

In the beginning of human life (or in the Garden of Eden, if you like), humans did nothing.

By the logic of "tradition is best", we should just sit here, doing absolutely nothing, because anything else would not be adhering to tradition.

Then why mention them? 

BTW:  I woundn't vote for my priest for President.

[MAS117]

I'm not a sexist, but at this day and age, I probably wouldnt vote for a woman for President, no matter what party.

ARE YOU REALLY PHILIP IN DISGUISE? Cause you sure lack comprehension, like he does. 
I mentioned the Priesthood because in my opinion, women should not be allowed to hold certain positions, the Presidency and the Priesthood are two of those positions that they should not ever be allowed to  hold. There are other occupations they shouldn't hold as well.

sex·ism
n.

   1. Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women.

Given that you're clearly making a distinction based on gender, I would say that it technically certainly is a sexist thing to say.

Now, whether or not that's a bad thing in this case is in debate.
