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.

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

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.

At least stay home on election day, or vote third party. Your decision to vote dem already makes you sound like a long-time troll or disruptor.

Deborah (the Judge-appointed by God) was a male?

Grow up.

Almost... but not quite! 1) Devorah was judge over all of Israel... 2) Queen Shlomtzion ruled over Israel with the Sanhedrin (high court's) assent. See Tosafot near the end of the first chapter of Bava Kamma (~Daf 16). It is rather explicit that if the populace/litigants agree to it, then a woman can serve as a leader/judge.

This man has a point. Women, in the Bible, are not even supposed to teach a Sunday school class in which men are in attendance. If any of you guys have been under the supervision of a woman in the workplace, you might well agree with him. I hate having WOMEN BOSSES: I have never had a one who was not arrogant, pushy, and less qualified than I! Many of these arrogant women are in administration because they are women, not because they are suited for supervisory roles. I understand that even the female employees don't much like WOMEN BOSSES either!!!!
