No one comes on FR to be lectured or taught formal logic. Surely you know that. I’ve read and reread your post and what you are basically saying is that I will always suspect that female politicians are going to be dissed by conservatives. You may be right about that or you may be wrong. Right now I believe that among conservatives there is NO place for a female presidential candidate. I find that sad and infuriating. (Conservative women are among the worst!)
I’m sorry if I was snarky to you. I enjoy taking the mickey out of people sometimes and when I saw the latin word, I just had to go for it! I apologize.
You take care.
>> Right now I believe that among conservatives there is NO place for a female presidential candidate <<
Correct. The two leading female possibilities have shown themselves to be “unpresidential” — Bachmann by her demagoguery on vaccines and Palin not only by her abandoning the Alaska battlefield under fire, but also by her playing cutesy games about whether she will/won’t enter the POTUS sweepstakes.
The key phrase in your post, however, is “right now.” I’m firmly convinced that the overwhelming majority of conservatives were intially willing to give both women full and fair consideration. I think that initial reaction by conservatives falsifies your hypothesis that most conservatives are irretrievably biased against female candidtates.
So, “right now” the situation is this:
Michelle and Sarah have shot themselves metaphorically in their feet and have shown themselves not ready for POTUS-style prime time. But let’s reserve judgment for a few years. Come 2020, when Marco Rubio picks his VP running mate, Nikki Haley may surprise you!

Very gracious of you. But really, no need to apologize. I can take it!
