I think you can respect both men and women. But clearly, xavier brown believes that anyone who respects women is wrong or hates men. Kindness, compassion, strength and charisma are qualities that any leader should have, man or woman. If you take some time to educate yourself on the candidates, and stop feeding into talking points, you will see that many of the Democratic candidates have these qualities. Some of the Republican candidates just promote fear and hatred. Remember, Democracy is based on an advesarial system. If there aren't 2 sides, it's tyrany. Many conservatives actually want to do away with democracy and replace it with an autocracy. Keep an open mind and listen to both sides. Remember that all candidates just want what they think is best for the country. You may not agree, but don't paint any as enemies of the state.

Actually, I wouldn't vote for her because of who she is married to.

For the same reason that I wouldn't have voted for George Bush Snr who was obviously married to a man (or a martian or *something*).

homespunlady,

Re: "feelfree1 Gotta point. . Maybe Laura will run although I think that's not an option in the Neocon playbook."

How about a national emergency, followed by declaration of martial law. KBR (Halliburton) has been busy constructing huge "detention" facilities around the country. Is this possibility really out of the question?

Does anyone here really believe that the imprisonment, torture, &/or killing of ordinary people is of any consequence to the Bush regime?
