Did Mccain today insult American women voters by suggesting that just "any" woman will do?

Question

Sadly I think he did;-[

Answer 1

McCain SCORES big, and people...notably feminists, CAN'T handle it

Answer 2

I did not hear him suggest that "any woman" would do.  In fact I heard him say that she is just the person he needs as VP.  I tend to agree.

Hillary is a woman for whom I would never vote.  Palin is a woman for whom I will vote enthusiastically!

Palin has executive experience, which neither Hillary, Obama, nor Biden has.  They have never run anything that I know of.  Palin has run a city and a state.  

I have never been as excited about a candidate as I am about Palin.  

Answer 3

Wait, wait. So you would have no problem if she was a man, right? So you're basically discriminating against her on the basis of her s*x.

How have Americans gotten this stupid? Presidents need judgment and if there's one thing that Sarah Palin definitely has, it's judgment.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

No.  How did he suggest that?

A politician who can defeat an incumbent governor in a primary and then a former governor in the general election is not "just any woman".

But, I do think you're insulting American (and all) women by suggesting that women are not worthy of being respected as individuals for their own accomplishments.

Answer 7

I doubt he thought of it as an insult.

Answer 8

Yes.

She's got less then two years of experience.  She has no credentials.  She is a scary choice.  

And if he's trying to win over Hillary supporters he's insulting their intelligence.  She doesn't agree with Hillary on a single issue.  

Answer 9

She's not any woman.

I didn't realize that 'any' woman had five children whilte simultaneously governing a state.  Oh, and looking great to boot.

Answer 10

Why do you bother asking questions when you don't care what anyone with a dissenting opinion has to say?

It's obvious by your follow up comments this is a statement and not a question...

Answer 11

Absolutely. Let us face it, Hillarys are extremely rare and we are lucky

to have gotten to know her.

And I have no doubt that she will continue to work hard for the rest of us.

Let us honor her by voting for the person she endorsed.

Answer 12

No, just a woman with an 80% approval rating in her jurisdiction.  Is the senate's approval rating still 14%?

Answer 13

Yes, and she was 2nd runner up in a beauty contest...he thinks women are shallow..OLD FOOL

Answer 14

Yea, he did American women !

Regards.

Answer 15

that is pretty much what he did.  There had to be at least a couple of dozen women that are more qualified.

I guess if she doesn't mind being used that way, what can you say.

Answer 16

Any woman? I hardly think she is just "any" woman. She has more EXECUTIVE experience than any of these old dudes who sit around and vote for laws! HA!

Answer 17

Yes I think he did.  Look at what he nominated, and the Republicans talked about Clinton having baggage?

Answer 18

It is worse than that - tokenism puts an underqualified person in a position; then, if they are not successful which is likely when they are underqualified, those against the person can say, well, see, we gave women a chance and they couldn't handle it.  It is not just insulting, it is subverting feminism.

Answer 19

sounds like the liberals are getting worried.

Answer 20

Yes, that is exactly what he thought, any woman will do.

To be fair she looks more intelligent with her glasses (and some clothes) on:-

Answer 21

Yes, but you were not supposed to figure that out.

Answer 22

Me too.. I don't think this will help him at all.
