Why people vote the way they do?
I owe a great deal to Fred Wilson from avcblog.com. Fred is cutting edge and very informative in the venture, music, and tech world online. He's one of the premier bloggers on the net. I respect him and geninuely like him, but always differ on his New York bent liberal politcs. As I do with most New Yorkers who are basically in another world when it comes to politics and understanding of how the rest of the country ticks. Anyways he posted why he supports Hilary, based on her scar tissue http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/2007/12/scar-tissue-tha.html. Again I am baffled by the way people support lame politicans.
I responded:
Scar tissue? What has she really done? She is a senator for a state she has never lived in. She was the first lady who never was in charge of policy (ok maybe you got me on this one). She has never run a business. You want her because she is a woman? Are you freaking kidding me? That's like Oprah supporting the Tool because he is black. Or Huckabee supporters wanting him because he is a Christian. Embarrassing! Objectivity is thrown out the door, and for what? A popularity contest.
How about voting for someone who stands for defending the constitution? How about voting for someone who will bring our troops home around the world and protect our freedom here? How about someone with a proven track record for never raising taxes? How about supporting someone who is not on the take by special interest groups? How about voting on principle rather than emotions that is fueled by media human drama stories?
It's not time for a woman to be president. It's not time for a miniority to be president. It's time for a person of honor and trust to be president. And it that person is a woman and a minority, then great! However the woman and minority with socialist tendencies on the take who are running are NOT those people.
I love you man, but please don't vote!

yeah well women are considered to be a minority or are at least treated that way. womens rights go more unnoticed than minority rights anymore, it is wrong to make a racial joke yet still fine to make a sexist joke... wake up
