Women should lean to keep their mouth shut unless specifically requested to open it up for a very specific reason.

Try for one day to stop being an ignorant ass.

I didn't vote for him because he is a Libertarian. Many Libertarian views are repugnant to me. It was just as much a protest against the NeoCons as anything. At least he understood the problems.

It sounds like at least some of the Ron Paul supporters are anti-woman at their root. I hope that is not entirely the case, because Paul had some very astute points to make.

The Libertarian movement (whether Paul, Bob Barr or other) has a lot to offer people, including women who want complete charge of their own lives without government butting in every five minutes and taking so much of the paychecks we earn.

But if you continue to trash women, especially those of us that are pro-choice, pro-gay marriage (or government out of all relationships involving consenting adults), and pro-gun, you will lose your credibility among women and just be seen as throwbacks to an era when women could be beaten with impunity by their husbands and have no legal recourse at all.

Think about how you represent your candidate when you want to have a knee-jerk anti-female response.

Just exactly who are these "NeoCons" that you keep going on about? I mean, Bush and Cheney, okay, but who else makes up this sinister cabal that you keep railing against?

Conservatives that believe in foreign intervention (mostly to protect Israel) and big government. There are many of them.

They are not sinsister, they are stupid. Almost a s stupid as the Liberals.
