That would be me, the reason I called hillary “frigid” is because SHE IS FRIGID! In the majority of candid shots of her she looks pissed at something.

I don’t see how calling her frigid isn’t an implication that “her sexuality has anything to do with her ability to be president”, perhaps you had a problem with the word “woman” in my description of her. Well, I also used the terms “black”, “white”, and “mormon” in my 2 lines yet you didn’t voice any grievances over that. So it looks like YOU are the gender-biased one here.

As a female, I would LOVE to see a woman President of the US of A. However, I do not think that tears are the way to go, that is the defense of a weak woman (ask any husband who has been emotinally blackmailed by his wife’s tears).

Not that I claim to know much about American politics (or any country’s politics for that matter), but from what I understand at the moment, the primaries are supposed to be the voters choice in a candidate for each party. Since the Democratic candidates and the Republican candidates are generally in agreement over The Big Issues within each party (with some room for variety of course), the voters here are swayed by the PERSON. As in who do you like better, Obama or Clinton? Huckabee or McKain? And so on. The Issues will only come to be viewed with importance later… and as such, would you vote for a President who succumbed to their tears, because it seemed people did not like them as much as their running mates? For a PERSONAL problem? Forget the fact that it was Clinton for a moment, would you repect Obama more if he was moved to tears by coming in second in NH? I think not. And THAT is where I take issue. Why is she suddenly seen as “more human” for shedding some tears while the same would not be afforded of a male candidate? And why is it that no one noticed she was crying OVER HERSELF and not over something of importance, such as the people who are still suffering in New Orleans or the millions of people without helath insurance or those living in poverty? Would you really trust someone like that to lead your country (regardless of gender, again)?

As for the cleavage, it was a sarcastic comment, meant to be read with a sense of humor

Furthermore, if people are confused by her win in NH it’s because they are not aware of the kinds of domestic policies that sway voters as much or more than do foreign policies. The American political landscape is much more complicated than most people are willing to believe– and not entirely filled with idiots (though I do think we have more than our fair share).

And I was (and still am) annoyed at Hillary for winning the Nwe Hampshire primaries, yes I know it doesn’t mean anything but honestly, it does NOT BODE WELL for the people of New Hampshire.
Were they truly stupid enough to be given a change of heart by a few tears? Excuse me? WOuld you have shown the same support if a male candidate had shed those tears?
And its not like shes even crying over someone *else’s* pain and suffering, she’s crying for herself, for the way she’s losing, for the way she’s been treated by other candidates.
Boo Hoo. What if (GOD FORBID) she gets elected? “Oh no, the economy is in trouble, sniff sniff… this is personal to me, sniff sniff” and people will just forget that?

Hell, she woulda been better off showing some cleavage again.
Ok, rant done

But yea, I can’t explain this obsession with US elections either. I’m surrounded by American’s who couldn’t care less, and yet here I am, setting my tabbed homepage to election coverage.

Mohanned: maybe a mix of both. i’m not much of a “favorite” person. i’m much more interested in the play and the story than the actors. if a gun was put to my head though, i would say i’m of the obama camp. slightly.

hatem: upbringing may have something to do with it. i know others however of a different background who share the same interest. as for ancient discussions: i remember arguing in favor of bush under the guise of the devil you know being better than the devil you don’t.

It is very obvious that you would be interested in the Presidential elections. First you majored in political science, second you lived for a considerable number of years next door in Toronto, and third you have an innate interest in politics. Remember in 2004 when we were debating Bush versus Kerry and almost everyone in the group was rooting for Kerry and I was the only dissenting voice in the bunch as I’m on record rooting for Bush, and Bush did come out on top. I remember you hinting that Bush would win but you were never very clear about your position.

Another question, who’s you favourite?

You’re not alone, I’m with you. I find following Ron Paul’s campaign extremely entertaining.

Frigid White woman, eloquent Black man, defensive Mormon, Guilliani, potty-mouthed wives, laughable president, miserably failing war(s)……….why not ya3ni?
