This might be the stupidest and most offensive article of the entire election season.

Women are not a voting bloc. We are not a special interest group. We are not all of the same mind — baffling as this may be for you to process, Mr. Dowd.

I am voting based on my Ivy League education in economics and international relations, and on what I believe is the best for our country. I am not voting for the guy I’d rather date. I am not voting for the guy who I think will provide day care for my kids.

Open your eyes to the women around you, and maybe you’ll see they’re just like men — that is, all different.

I’d like to know how you can sleep at night when you make things up and pretend like it is the truth?

What would this woman like in a president: a grounded, intelligent, experienced, diplomatic WOMAN.

Mathew Dowd,

Dowd is Dud! He got weak kneed around men like Cheney and Bush and has been sucking up to lily liberals ever since. Did you hear his idignation about the Benghazi debacle during THIS Week? Shameful: Candy crowley brought up Facts? She brought up Obama’s oblique reference to terror, which is hardly a fact that dispels the Obama administration’s evasion regarding the realities of the murder of an American ambassador abroad.

I want to run my own life and body anymore men are not like they use to be if you check they don’t have any sense of responability anymore.
You will find that woman are the ones who try to hold a marriage together.
I know a number of women who are the main bread winners in the family.
Why do men think they have a right to tell us what we can and can’t do .
I believe in an equal parntership.

Personally I am tired of the media and these posts that are making jokes out of this election. While the president makes fun and jokes about Romnesia, I wonder isn’t it more important that Mitt would rather be able to make changes accordingly so that policies stay the best for this country instead of staying to a coarse and continuing down the same road when it is wrong. If people want jokes shouldn’t we then be calling Obama, “WRONG WAY OBAMA?”
As a woman I want a president that can DO THE MATH, protect this country and its military, protect our freedoms that are slowly being taken away from us form this new government that’s being created, enforce our boarders, and follow the constitution. I don’t want a president who thinks he has the right to invade my personal decisions. I don’t want a president who continues by the billion$ to increase the debt of this country and spend like there is no tomorrow. If you can add look at the figure$. Honestly, I can’t FINANCIALLY afford 4 more years of this president. I respect everyones right to vote and their choice, name calling is not needed and simply shows ignorance. But I worry what another 4 years of this president will cost me. Everyone is sharing this blurb around on their FB page just for a lives thought but politically it truly makes sense, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by CHANGE.” And now is the time. WE NEED CHANGE NOW!

What a condescending patriarchal load of blatherskite (Yes, its a real word, use your dictionaries) the author of the above opinion, Matthew Dowd, has so little clue. He doesnt even consider women as leaders, only men.

What do I, as a woman, want in a leader ? Ovaries would be nice, and if not, at least the huevos (a slang term, Spanish, ask someone young, they will tell you what it means) to quit eroding womens rights as a political convenience. Someone who can stand up to anti-choice thugs and tell them flat out “Your religion doesn’t belong in politics”.Someone who doesn’t count on church money to get elected.

My choice has already been made, yes, it is a man, but I am voting for Woman this election. Politicians, remember, We women brought you into this world, and by our votes, we can damn sure take you out !

Mmm. What I really want, as a woman, is for “leadership” to stop being synonymous with “men,” and for people of all genders to acknowledge that I have strength, leadership, and self-reliance in spades and most certainly do not need a man of any variety to lead me about in life. I’ve got it covered on my own, thank you very much.

What I want in a president is a person with solid, reasoned positions that realizes those things.
