Why are people saying that McCain is using women?

Question

He is using Sarah Palin to get the womens' vote.

My answer to that is a FLAT OUT: WHO GIVES A @#@#

First of all

Where is Hillary Clinton?

She was qualified to be the Democratic Nominee or VP, but she did not get either of the positions. She did not even make it on Obama's short VP nominee List. At least we can clearly say, she is the most qualified person for the VP position.

She just got dumped to the side.

People were complaining that experinence does not matter when Hillary was running .

Now with Sarah Palin she is not experience enough.

Obviously, this is way for mostly men to tell us not to vote for a woman PERIOD !!!

Most ( I mean most) men would rather choose a man regardless of how qualified a WOMAN candidate is. Man have been doing this for CENTURIES.

We had a Qualified Woman (HRC) Still No

Now a Fresh Face Sarah Palin. What Next? Mccain is using woman ...blah blah.

But man have been using Man for Centuries.

Good Job McCain.

Next Election will be mostly Women Running.

Look at the BIGGER PICTURE.

Answer 1

It's called 'venting' they are angry over the prospect that a competent person who just happens not to have a pen*s may attract more votes.

Answer 2

Woman please think with your head. McCain didn't vet that woman. The biggest skeleton in her closet about a a faked  pregnancy has emerged. This has turned out to be a big embarassment to McCain.

He only met her once before appointing her. He doesn't even know her.

Answer 3

McCain himself said that a VP duties are

1. to inquire daily regarding the health of the president

2. Attend State funerals

So, because of his deep belief in a women's abilities, he decided that Palin would be ok to fulfuill his criteria for VP.  Why, as a woman, am I not impressed?

Answer 4

Why else would the incredibly misogynistic John McCain pick a female vice-president? He's trying to steal Clinton supporters away from Obama.  

Answer 5

I agree.  The more I read, the more I love Sarah Palin!  Good Job John McCain, you picked the right "man" for the job!

Answer 6

Agree with moose, without a doubt choosing Palin was a desperate political move to try to get some Hilary voters, most will be smart enough to check her policies, but there will be some who want to see a women VP so bad they would let that cloud their judgement.

Answer 7

Lots of questions, the short answers:

Hillary lost the primary because her team grossly underestimated the caucus vote.  If you don't understand the rules, you lose.

Hillary was/is the most qualified person to be president, ahead of McSame/Palin/Obama. See above.  She did not get dumped, she lost.

"People" were not talking about experience, after Obama clinched, it was Republicans who made a huge deal of it.  Then picked a cynical, Neanderthal in a skirt, with no experience, as McCain's running mate.  Did you think it wouldn't be noticed?

I would have voted for Hillary, not because of gender, but she is an experienced and moderate candidate.  Palin is Hannity in a skirt.

McCain's pick is a cynical and lame attempt to placate Hill's supporters.  But, Hill's supporters are intelligent.  Do you think they will vote Palin without reading her positions?

Given the options: Obama 2008.

Answer 8

It's called desperation !

Answer 9

Because they are desperate.

Answer 10

I feel very sorry for you.  It is just pathetic to think that anyone would use gender in their decision on whom to vote for.

You are also poorly informed, as Sarah Palin polls much higher with men than with women, so McCain can't possibly use her to get the female vote.

Answer 11

Mc is using women!  He just picked "A Woman" -- she's too consevative to be a replacement for Hillary--IT'S THE BIGGEST INSULT TO WOMEN IN GENERAL (HIS PANDERING) AND TO HILLARY.

THIS WOMAN DOESN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO HILL.

THA'S HOW HE'S USING WOMEN.
