It matters not that she is a woman and I am a woman. Period. I have absolutely no sense of loyalty or obligation to her because she and I are the same gender.

That's because you are blessed with a brain, regardless of your screen name and you make delicious pickles.

Prior to the last election Pres. Bush was in Florida passing out bags of ice to victims. One of the black women was asked who she was voting for. She declared that she would vote for Bush because he handed her a bag of ice.

$1,000,000 would not convince me to vote for Hillary.

In her first term, she'll have 48 shots at "that time of the month". I can't wait...

She's probably beyond that, age wise.

I do worry about the gender issue. There’s been a trend lately for people - both Liberals and Conservatives - to vote on emotion, not logic. That’s why slogans like “it’s for the children”, “save the environment”, etc. work so well.

I think there are a lot of people who will buy the “gender card” for that reason. There’s no logical reason to vote for hillary - but there are plenty of “feel good” aspects to voting for a woman - any woman.

Now if the GOP nominee selected a woman as vp.......

That's informative and I thank you for it. I have always used it incorrectly and will work on not doing it anymore.

Her gender is too overshadowed by her insanity to make a difference!

Actually, that's not my understanding of gender. Look it up or google it. Sex is male or female. Gender is masculine or feminine: how one FEELS about their sexuality.

I learned that one from the Equal Rights Amendment here in Iowa. The whole thing about 325 words long revolved around the word gender.

That's what it is all about. Sexual orientation in sheeps clothing.

BEWARE ANY EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENTS!!!

Already done but I wasn't going to tell him about it.

I’m just wary that those libs bashing Hilary may have Obama in mind. It would be REALLY terrible to have him Prez.

A totalitarian Marxist. A doofus. A twerp who's a trial lawyer.

Helluva field the Dems have to choose from, eh?

GOt this as one definition from google - define: gender

"is expressed in terms of masculinity and femininity. It is how people perceive themselves and how they expect others to behave. It is largely culturally determined."

There are others. but think this is the one in websters dictionary.

[Graybeard58]

Now, that’s funny!

So I have stolen it too.

[Graybeard58]

Thanks for the further update, duly noted.

I’ve noticed that the press is beginning to show worry about her... I expect we’ll start seeing more hard questions to her from some legitimate press. I read earlier, though, that her handlers have been planting questions for her.

Stealing this alert. You don’t mind, do ya?

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter, but I seriesly doubt Hillary will get many votes from Republican women. As we get closer to the election, and if she is the dem candidate, get ready for all the phony op-eds stating “I am a Republican female, but I’m voting for Hillary”.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

You're very kind and I thank you.

The woman in Florida made the right decision for the wrong reason. Any person, man or woman, that votes for Hillary because she is a woman is wrong and is squandering something that should be precious to them. A vote is a terrible thing to waste.

Is ‘gorgon/medusa’ a gender?

[Mygirlsmom]

summed up by one fan at an early Clinton rally in Iowa: “I feel it in the heart.”

Blech. Time for a transplant, honey. Or maybe it's just gas.
