Thread Name: BS: I voted for Obama, but...
Subject: RE: BS: I voted for Obama, but...
"….the 'libs' would now like to 'celebrate' by voting for Palin or Bachmann!...after all, it would be the first WOMAN president!...Maybe even a Palin/Bachmann ticket…."
I love that! That would accomplish two things. It would turn the U. S. into a REAL "Saturday Night Live" skit, which might have the rest of the world laughing nervously and shaking their heads, it would serve as an example of the worst possible way to run a country, and show the American people, including the Tea Pottiers, just how bad things CAN get, and it would most definitely impel me to emigrate to some civilized country in Europe, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, or Denmark.
And here was (and in some circles, still IS) an argument against there being a woman president:
"....so when they got menopausal, they would wipe the face of the earth from ALL our enemies..and friends, too!..in one hour!"
Lemme see, now. Michele is 54, so she's probably already there. Sarah is 47, so any day now. Not to mention the ravages of PMS!
Ya know, GfS, if I were you, I'd emigrate to the Brazilian jungles or some unmapped island in the South Pacific after making those remarks. Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, Camille Paglia, and a whole bunch of other ladies might just gang up, track you down, and tear you a new one for that remark.
Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!!

P. S. In any non-fantasy world, it will be a cold day in Hell when any "lib" would EVER want to see either of those women—or any man who believes as they do—in the White House.
