Here is how my wife and I voted in the Georgia Primary. Some may disagree.

If there were several races having women running for the same office. We always voted for a woman that was an incumbent. If one race had multiple women, we would look at the names and if one sounded foreign, we voted for that one. We believe that one possibly may better understand how important a democracy is from their own experience.

3. Hey, I'm all for voting for women

and for making our legislative branch look more like what America looks like...

but your post makes you sound like you didn't look at the issues at all.

Should I assume that all of the candidates in question held no differences (to each other) on the issues?

4. What?

That is as biased as voting for the white male with the most Anglo name.

Maybe take some time to learn about a candidate's platform before the next time.

5. Don't let foreign names fool you.

Ana Navarro: Many "legal" immigrants were Wingnuts in their country of origin, or escaped from their perception of Leftist oppression, or are small business/trade owners in construction and such who believe in the "lazy welfare cheats".
