Kay i dont really wanna get into this too much.

im just gonna say something my mom said to me...

"i honestly dont think a woman in general, especially hillary, should be president. I mean what happens when its their time of the month? Mood swings. She already looks like shes having mood swings. I dont have anything agaisnst her but come on. Obama doesnt have lady-like issues every month"

mkay. Might not be that great but i thought it was funny and id share it.

By that brilliant rationale, Eva Longoria Parker is an NBA All-Star.

haha Exactly.




I really can't bear the thought of another clinton in the whitehouse. Clearly the same old washington elite haven't been doing well with the state for some decades now. We need to move on and actually do someone with America other than everything that we have tried and eventually failed at before.




As for the 'time of the month' comment.... Wow. I just have no comment. It really does amaze me to hear other women say things like that. Perhaps it shouldn't but it does. I just can only hope that isn't the reason Clinton doesn't get elected. I really do wish the citizens would have the sense to consider the candidates actual worth than revert to sexism.

I said the exact same thing, in a different thread! I got my *ss jumped for it. I'm not sexist at all. It's a medical fact that womens' hormones sway back and forth.

It takes one week to prepare for the menstrual cycle (PMS), one week to go through the moodiness, bloating, & "flow", & one week to recover. This only gives us ONE WEEK of pure sanity.

I really don't want Hillary as our First Lady President. Wearing your husbands' rank while he was in office doesn't justify "experience." I'd take Condoleeza Rice any day of the week and twice on Sunday! She has presidential cabinet experience- that's what we need. Was Hillary ever in the military? I'm not sure. IF she was- thats great, thats a plus for her. If not, then I don't think she has any business running our government, especially when more than 3/4 of government business is dealing w/foreign and military affairs. :!:

Right now, the big debate is: "The First Black President" or "The First Woman President"....Ms. Rice fits both of those.

That is so insulting and uncalled for.
First of all, she is too old to even have a period.
And even if she wasn't, you're saying that women are incapable of making decisions during their period.
If you follow that line of thought, where does it end?
Does that mean that women have their liscenses suspended one week out of the month?
Does that mean that women can't be CEOs and run companies?
I know that I'm perfectly capable of making sound choices on my period.
Are you not able to do that?
And are you forgetting how many other countries have and have had female leaders and not entered into any sort of warfare?

There's a slight problem with your reasoning.

First of all, Hillary is 60 years old and post-menopausal, which means she no longer has periods, and can no longer have PMS symptoms.

Also, every woman's PMS symptoms are different. I know for a fact that I don't get irritable when I get PMS, and I rarely ever get cramps. My sister, however, has horrible mood swings and cramps from which she's had to stay home from school. Therefore, making a reasoning that all women wouldn't make good presidents because all women get horrid mood swings from PMS is disproved just because of me. :D Sorry!

Don't get me wrong--I don't support Hillary, and I don't think she's the best choice for President, but people shouldn't count her out of the race just because she's a woman.

Not that many of our presidents have had military experience.
Quite a few of them were draft dodgers or the sons of rich families.
Besides, right now we need someone who isn't gung-ho about the military to bring our troops home and end this sorry excuse for a war.
McCain is the only candidate with military experience, and he's also the only one who doesn't want to bring our troops home some.
I don't think that's a coincidence.

[aminakins101]

I have a small opinion. The candidates that they have for president suck for 08 and personally since Obama and Clinton have similarites in there ideas I think they should rule our country together, see how that goes, and leave Mccain in the dust. I'm not one to judge, because I don't see eye to eye with anyone of them.

I agree that is one of the worst reasons I have ever heard for not choosing who your next president should be, on BOTH fronts.

I will only say one thing because I know this could become a heated debate. Think about your average household...who usually runs the day to day life of that house? Even if a man does not want to admit it...women do most of the time. I would love to see how a woman would run the country. Women all around...you know we don't take NO crap and we run tight ships (especially those of us who are married).

Ok now go ahead and roast me for that comment. :P
