I'm sick of people saying they support Hilary, and then the first thing they say to support that statment is something along the lines of "It's about time we had a woman president."
If the first reason you can think of for why you support a candidate is based on her gender, that's just as bad, in my mind, like voting based on race or religion, or party.
You shouldn't vote based on any of those.
Hell, George Washington himself warned about a party system in politics.
I'm reminded of a fake vote run at my high school. Bush won handidly, but attached to the ballet was a list of issues to vote on, and upon examination of the issues and how people voted on those, it was revealed that had people actually paid attention to the issues instead of the candidate or party, Kerry would have won by just as wide a margin as Bush had.
But that's for another post, voting on gender does nothing but blind one to the issues.
With these problems in mind, I have begun asking such Hilary supporters a simple question, aimed at clearing this issue up. Note that i have no problem with Hilary supporters, so long as they actually support her view on issues. The question, put simply, is as follows. Read it, and ask yourself this if you support Hilary.
If Hilary had a penis, would you still be voting for her?
