I've been voting for a MAN for President of the US since I've been able to vote. [View all]

How about you?

This time, seems likely I will have a choice to vote for a woman, and I will if given the chance.

Mock that, think of me as a person who only votes with her vagina. But I ask you what was I voting with when I voted for all those men? I don't have a penis, so I wasn't voting with that.

I guess I only use my brain when voting for men????

I won't mock it BUT pinebox Nov 2015 #34

So if Bernie Sanders and Carly Fiorina are the candidates... bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #35

What is it you are thinking I am saying? boston bean Nov 2015 #36

"This time, seems likely I will have a choice to vote for a woman, and I will if given the chance." bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #38

right. ok... so what do you think that means? boston bean Nov 2015 #39

That'll you'll vote for any woman over any man this election. bobbobbins01 Nov 2015 #40

oh yeah, you think that's what it means? boston bean Nov 2015 #41

In the absence of anything other than the OP, I'd say that's about it. cherokeeprogressive Nov 2015 #64

Even though I voted for all those men all these years? nt boston bean Nov 2015 #66

Even though. Words have meaning. The words you used made it clear you'll vote for the woman. cherokeeprogressive Nov 2015 #69

Why am I going to vote for the woman this time? boston bean Nov 2015 #70

According to your OP? For NO other reason than she's a woman. cherokeeprogressive Nov 2015 #71

That's what you think it says.... oh my. boston bean Nov 2015 #74

Just quoting your OP: "I will have a choice to vote for a woman, and I will if given the chance" berni_mccoy Nov 2015 #45

If Hillary wins the nomination, and she is a woman, I will vote for her. boston bean Nov 2015 #47

Now you're changing your position like Hillary does... berni_mccoy Nov 2015 #49

I did, where? I know us women have a reputation of not being able to make up our minds. boston bean Nov 2015 #51

You never mentioned Hillary in your OP or that this was about her. berni_mccoy Nov 2015 #53

I said this: boston bean Nov 2015 #54

Was pretty clear you were voting for a woman because you are a woman. berni_mccoy Nov 2015 #61

I am a duplicitous woman, in your eye? And what I say, doesn't really mean what I am saying? boston bean Nov 2015 #62

I'm only going on what you said in your OP. berni_mccoy Nov 2015 #65

Read it. And then read my responses to you. boston bean Nov 2015 #68

I did read it. I'm not the only one to have this impression. berni_mccoy Nov 2015 #75

The part you excerpted says clearly that you'll vote for fiorina if it's her versus Sanders Doctor_J Nov 2015 #73
