I will not vote for a woman for office.

What about Katherine Harris from Florida?

You can't tell me she's not worthy.

[BlackbirdSST]

Would the Democrat help push forward Pres. Bush's agenda? Assist in taking back control of the US Senate? Help to take back control of both houses of the General Assembly? Push to fill the open judicial positions with Conservative judicial appointees? People with attitudes like yours and wasfree are an impediment to our state. The dim would be equivalent, yes! What's so conservative about the bush agenda? Why do you think a Senate full of RINO's will do anything conservative about the courts? People with attitudes like yours are an impediment to my LIBERTY & FREEDOM!!! Blackbird.

It congress' job to pass budget bills... If congress wanted less spending all they would have to do is pass bills with less spending... Your criticism of Bush is unfounded.

[marajade]

Really? Was Bill Clinton, a man, able to handle it? Your a sexist...

[marajade]

So now a woman is judged by what her husband does? That's crazy...

[gitmogrunt]

Thanks for the hurl.

Does anyone know Parker's web page address?

[marajade]

The Democrat would be just as good.

Really? Does that include control of the senate?

[bybybill]

Your pretty funny. At least I hope you were trying to be funny. The line about voteing for Bill Clinton for anything is over the top. This has to be a sick attempt at a joke.

I am not a democrat. I am however, a follower of Jesus and it is established in the Bible that women are NOT to have authority over a man. Women by default are not supposed to be politicians, judges, magistrates, cops, bosses (as in, not supposed to be working outside of the home), or any other authority figure. I support that. I find that when women are placed in authority we lose logic and start having to deal with feelings. I do not want some female's hormone stressed feelings deciding my future on ANY subject. Can you tell me ONE freedom that has not been diminshed since women have been given the right to vote? All I see is that since then we have had people elected based on looks, we have gotten a welfare state (For the children), and government entering every aspect of our lives. Allowing women to vote and hold office is directly responsible for the state our nation is in today. I will not make matters worse by voting for one.

[The Raven]

I agree with your warning.....the Dems use "get out the vote" tactics quite well. The let the GOP think it's a cake walk....then a percentage of the 'Pubs stay home..throw in a few ballot adjustments..a couple of scare-TV ads.....and whop !!! The 'Pubs get nailed.

[marajade]

a follower of Jesus and it is established in the Bible that women are NOT to have authority over a man.

Really? Please recite the specific scripture and please put it in context.

[callisto]

Were you not listening during 8 years of Bill Clinton's touchy, "I feel your pain" BS? You do understand that men, not God, wrote and rewrote a variety of the words you claim guide your decisions. Granted the words are "inspired by God," but men have had a hand, literally, in rewriting them to the current thoughts of the time in which they were written. If the Bible said that all women should be killed, would that be justification for you to slaughter them all? Sadly, I suspect it would.

[cake_crumb]

You feel women in general aren't capable of handling life as a public servent....so you will vote for a DEMOCRAT who you KNOW isn't capable?? And you resent the GOP for that??? Do you realize how IRRATIONAL that is???

Egad, I'm sorry, but I HOPE you are not married.

[callisto]

A Dem would not be an equivalent in the decision of control of the US Senate. If the Senate has a GOP majority I expect Bush's judicial appointees to be put to a vote, instead of sidelined by Daschle. You, and others on the forum, appear to be looking for a candidate to only represent your choice of what's conservative and what's not. Do you expect the Dems will be adding to your freedom and liberties? If so, you are highly misguided and misinformed. Without GOP control any freedoms and liberties you cherish will be furthered away under Dem control. Please show me examples of how the Dems have protected your liberties and freedoms. I can't wait to hear this list.

[marajade]

Egad, I'm sorry, but I HOPE you are not married.

Let alone putting him in a position of authority of which scripturally marriage is the only qualifier and only if both spouses are believers. I gotta tell you though I probably don't believe in the same God he does.

[marajade]

Do you realize how IRRATIONAL that is???

And his argument is that women vote with their feelings?

[SLOTownConservative]

"get out the vote"

I think the post was refering to voter fraud, a favorite Demo'RAT tactic.

Especially watch for unexpected Demo'RAT victories in districts with new all electronic voting systems.

I was suprised when Frisco adopted a system that can be audited - of course when the ballots are at the bottom of the bay they are a bit hard to audit!

fyi

The thought of Libby Dole as the best candidate the NC Republicans could field for the race, makes me wanna HURL.

Well the thought that for decades, the South has voted for Republicans for president, but the state offices are dominated by Democrats makes me want to hurl. It's the reality of the situation. I'd bet you a million dollars the GOP would lose Helms seat had Dole not stepped in to save the state GOP's ass.

Bowles is not that awful of a candidate-- but he is against Dole. He'll have loads of cash and no other candidate would be able to match it. If the NC-GOP works hard, in about 4 years, they'll have a nice farm system of candidates, but the only possibilities had Dole said no were the former mayor of Charlotte and a failed former senator in Faircloth-- that's slim pickings.

Other states have the exact same problem (for example, in Arkansas, only Gov. Huckabee would be a credible opponent for freshman Sen. Lincoln in 2004). You shouldn't feel bad. It's just something they have to work on.

[snag_matic]

We will not vote for a woman nor for a black. Regardless of who they are running against. I would vote for Bill Clinton for senate before Liza Dole. I wish we had more choices.

You are no Republican or conservative!! I've heard there is still a few white supremacists lurking around. You should think about joining up with them.
