No. I was just being facetious to a guy that said he would never under any circumstances vote for a woman for president of the United States.
Guess what? I hope Giuliani is winner of the primaries and I would even vote for McCain, very grudgingly, or whoever gets the nod, if Hillary or Obama is the dem candidate. Guess I'm just not a True Conservative or a Real Man that makes sure the little wimmins know their place.
Hitlery simply ain't on the list, either as a notional 'woman' or as a potential President. Combination of Xantippe, Madame Defarge, and any random Gorgon as far as I'm concerned.
In 1988, I supported the late (and lamented) Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick for president, but, sadly, the fact of the matter is that she wasn't very interested in the job. So, we ended up with a resume running against a Marxist and the resume won. Yawn. I suppose that was 'good'. Yawn.
I would cheerfully support Secretary Rice for president, ignoring some fairly serious disagreements with her on policy, but -- frankly -- she's TOO smart. She wants a better job; Commissioner of the NFL...and I'm not being facetious in the slightest.
Bottom line with me: if Hitlery is the 'Rat candidate, and McLame is NOT the 'Pubblie candidate, I'll vote for the 'Pubbie, probably holding my nose. There is no conceivable circumstance on this planet that will make or allow me to vote for McLame. I said above, and I meant every word, that, in a Hitlery-McLame contest, I'd write in Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov, and I wan't joking in the slightest.
If, contrarily, the 'Rats get smart and nominate someone who SOUNDS reasonable -- say, Bayh, just to have an example -- the game is going to get very, VERY interesting.
Happy Christmas to you and yours!
