In your world, you can equate the fact that conservatives don't currently have any high profile NATIONAL candidates means that conservatives FEAR powerful women. What a crock of shit.

Are you actually laughing as type this bs? How many logical fallacies did you just violate in promoting that specious argument?

Condy Rice has been promoted from time to time, and I could support her or a woman who had some Ron Paul perspectives.

The fact that women aren't currently successful in politicking in conservative politics isn't a statement of fear.

You're psychiatrist. If you presented that diagnosis to your proctors what sort of response would you receive?
When I looked at the board outside the premed office at BYU to see who was getting into what medical school, and I noticed that of the 120 or so on the board, there were only 4 or so women, I made some conclusions.

Was I wrong?

I'm only stating the obvious. The fact you cite Condie, who isn't even a politician speaks volumes.

It may speak volumes or speak to the wisdom of women who espouse conservative views. Perhaps they are smart enough to avoid politics altogether and to move into business to make big bucks. To equate BYU with the model for conservative politics is naive in my mind.

Seattle's wife is conservative, but she's too damned smart to be involved in politics except to earn and to earn.

Only stupid and unwise women go into politics?

I didn't think your post would try and prove my case, but thanks.

Only stupid and unwise PEOPLE get into politics.

Sometimes women are smarter than men.

What street might that be? I don't think we are terribly popular in the Muslim world as it is. Who are these people on the street who may support us? Bhutto's people? M is the current leader, one we have asked to do difficult things and he has responded. Now we are to cast him aside in support of Bhutto? How fickle. Fickle does not make a good foreign policy. What happens when they grow tired of her (and they will)?

Now you're just trolling your own board.

Mike is always trolling. Always. To the point that I don't believe he believes anything that he posts. Ever. His online persona is completely disingenuous.

There are actually some Pakistanis who want elections. And Bhutto and M are not the only choices.

Haven't we learned in Iraq that promoting democracy in the Muslim world is a loser?

Haven't we learned in Iraq that giving millions and billions to dictators is a loser?
