		<description>Brian,

Go back and read your own short post where you said:

 &quot;So you don’t want a woman in office who might actually get pregnant.&quot;

You were dead on with what I do not want, at least if the office we are talking about is Commander in Chief.  I do not think it was too much of a stretch for me to understand from your comment that you did not have a problem with it.  That the stress levels of being CIC might be too much for a pregnant woman.

While serving as a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy every woman who served under me who got pregnant would, after only a few months into her pregnancy, show up with a light duty chit from her Navy doctor.  Then as her delivery date drew near she would go on maternity leave where all she had to do was sit and home and mind her and her baby in the wombs health and show up for her doctor&#039;s appointments.

Now I never questioned the justification for this because I thought pregnant women deserved this special consideration.  But if Sarah Palin is going to prove a pregnant woman can serve as Commander In Chief with all the stresses involved then I guess all the pregnant women who served under me where really just malingerers.

I think not.  I still think pregnant women deserve special consideration and I think Sarah Palin&#039;s personal viewpoint on birth control makes her unsuitable to be the person waiting to grab the reigns from John McCain if something should happen to him.

I really like John McCain, but if John wants my vote he has to ditch Sarah.  That&#039;s not likely to happen, so I guess I am going to have to vote for Obama.</description>

		<description>What a real conservative - not a GOP-slave - logical perspective on Palin and by default McCain?

		<description>Brian - I knew you were whiny, but I didn&#039;t realize you were sooooooo sensitive (or simply illiterate?) Go find yourself a dictionary and look up the term &quot;clan&quot;.  Clannish defines Palin&#039;s record of appointments and retributions perfectly.</description>

		<description>LittleDi...er, David.

I said no such thing, as evidenced by your wimp-ass &quot;seems to think&quot; wording.

Tell me, Undersized, why do you think women can&#039;t handle &quot;demanding?&quot;  Is it personal experience?</description>

		<description>Wow, Brian Kirwin seems to think a woman being pregnant is not demanding upon the woman.

Wow indeed.</description>

So you don&#039;t want a woman in office who might actually get pregnant.

		<description>Brian,

Well my comments were not so boring that it put you to sleep, you responded to them!

I do not object to Palin due to her experience, only due to her politics.  John McCain selected a right wing extremist to sit behind him ready to grab the reigns.  Look at her stance on birth control.  She got pregnant and gave birth while serving as governor.  I do not want an 8 or 9 months pregnant Commander in Chief.

What was John McCain thinking when he tapped Sarah Palin?  Perhaps he already is starting to show signs he is getting senile.</description>

		<description>Mark?  You use a term like &quot;clannish&quot; and tell ME to stop playing race cards?

LittleDavid, if presidential briefs are anything like your comments, I can understand someone falling asleep during them.

Voting for inexperienced Obama because you think McCain&#039;s VP would be inexperienced, even though she&#039;s more experienced than Obama?

You were better off when you were attacking old people.</description>

		<description>Brian,

I think you are uninformed if you do not understand that the age of our President might be of concern.  During his second term in office Ronald Reagan&#039;s presidentlial briefs had to be cut shorter and shorter just so that he would not fall asleep during them.  Age does matter.  With age comes the increased concern for age related health issues.  How many young men/women end up in nursing homes?

As for Baldwin, I eliminated him after just a few seconds of research on the internet.  Chuck Baldwin got Ron Paul&#039;s endorsement and that was enough for me.  My vote is going for Obama.  I am not an enthusiastic supporter of Obama mind you, do not ask me to campaign for him, it is just that I can not cast my vote for McCain with Palin as VP.</description>

		<description>Quit playing your ageism/ sexism cards.

Palin is too risky and far too dangerous for our nation to take even a chance that she could become President.  She has demonstrated a lack of logical thinking, an inability to grasp difficult issues, a clannish abuse of power, an absent desire to learn more about the difficult issues facing our nation today, and perhaps most importantly, her insecurity combined with arrogance results in her being an individual who uses authority in responses/ policy to cover for all of the proceeding.  She is a dangerous choice.  

Fortunately most independents and Democrats, and many Republicans have reached similar conclusions and will be casting votes against her - and McCain whose judgement led him to risk our nation&#039;s future on someone so utterly unqualified.</description>
