I don’t know anything about this woman—except that she’s a Demonrat.

I do know that the Air Force used affirmative action to promote a number of female pilots above their capabilities, and that that caused problems.

I’m not saying that no woman could be a combat pilot. But I don’t think all this affirmative action stuff has made our military better. People are promoted simply because they are women, or Muslims, or whatever the latest affirmative action gimmick might be.

The article says she is a Republican, or it least running as a Republican. Is there any reason you think she is a democrat, or did you just misread?

WHAT????

McSally is a REPUBLICAN running for the Arizona congress seat that is being vacated by Giffords.

For the love of all that is holy, I sure wish people would find out the facts before gracing us with their posts.

She’s not a Democrat, just a Republican with a different opinion than yours or Santorum’s.

There are men who have been promoted above their capabilities, and there were problems. What was that?

How does a woman get promoted without the accusation of affirmative action? Can a woman ever be promoted?
