I had a discussion with a co worker and he was under the impression that because of womens potential to be emotional and unstable that they wouldnt be a good president in a time of war. I have a hard time believing the statement isnt wrought with prejudice but I couldnt seem to make a valid case. What do you guys think? Can she govern effectively as a women? thanks

A woman would make an excellent President Like Mrs Dole - just not Hillary. Anyone who claims a woman cannot be President has personal issues

Mrs. Dole would have been the most wonderful first lady. She understood the sufferings of wounded hero's as her husband Robert Dole was and is a great man. That was not to be Rather the a hero we got a draft dodging coward.

If Mrs Dole ran for President she would have my vote the moment the pole opened.

Okay here goes, and this is from a woman. A woman thinks with common sense much more than any man; men either do not react verbally and immediately grab the gun, or talk about doing something but never act on it cause they're all talk.
A woman that has intellect, compassion, and patience, is going to get all the information, everyone's side of the story, and then do something forceful, because she has already been made aware of the screw ups already done by men dealing with politics and law and WAR.
Now, a woman as President is just as okay as any man as long as they do the job according to the needs and rights of and for the people. If they are there for the good of their own benefits and statis quo they shouldn't be anywhere but standing in front of a mirror and talking to themselves. Cause they are the type that pat their own backs, before anything physically has been accomplished.

Another words, if you're not a blow hard, and not a reactor, but a thinker, a worker, and sincere in the Lord, and your own word, then think about it, whether you are a man or woman. But remember.....as President you are hendered by Congress, Senate, and the Legislation before you can really act on making changes to laws, acts, or agendas. Otherwise, you look like someone making a bunch of empty promises and then you look unreliable, and a lieing blowhard who's just wasting the governments people, us so called civilians time and hard earned salaries and tax monies to live out your own dreams, rather than helping us make our dreams come true to better ourselves, help others, and make a stronger society of free people without a controlling government. Give the people back their government as it was started in the first place.

In 8 words. "Don't promise it if you can't do it!"

My mother was a wonderful Southern Lady.,BUT she did have her emotional problems.and she was the President of 3 organizations at one time.Worked as a Vice president of a company.many women judge things way differently then men do they think differently, perceive things differently. there women for Gods sake.I say give her a chance.Though.

I go door to door sales for 18 years and most women seem normal enough.
I don't know about her at all. of course.. if I actually knew her and could talk with her maybe I could reason it out and say yes she would make a good President .she might make a good President, I just don't know, but what the heck, she would be better then Bush or any Republican. Even if she was in a coma.

She has proven to me that she cares about this country., shes not just doing a job, she seems to actually care about the people so I will vote for her is she runs for President.and i thought I would never ever vote for a women, but the circumstances or that yes I would.Now,
and also her husband would be there to show her the ropes.which she already knows some of them
I don't think he did that bad a job. so what he got Horny.
Did you know that Bush has a type of dementia.
he is controlled by big business .and the Jewish people,
and he appointed 18 of the scull and Cross bones club fellow members he was in at Yale to major posts and positions within the government.True.

Hillary hasn't run anything in her life except her mouth. She's only Senator because of Bill and the stupidity of New Yorkers.

A woman could be President, just look at the superb job that Margaret Thatcher did as a 3 time Prime Minister of Britain (including running the Falklands War against Argentina, and beating a miners strike at home).

The right woman will come along and be a fine President, but Hillary aint her. If she gets elected, we will have male Presidents thereafter until the 22nd century.

Hillary is not electable, and thus your line of questioning is entirely moot. If the democrats are hell-bent on losing this election like they unneccessarily did the last one, they'll avoid putting an East Coast liberal or a West Coast wacko on the ticket. Their best bet lies with LISTENING to the heartbeat of America, which is every state that doesn't sit on the west coast and the upper east coast. O'Bama is electable, at least he's from Illinois (sort of), and so is anybody that has mainstream values. Hillary, although from Arkansas, is an East Coast Liberal who has been hiding out as mainstream for the last few years. We all see through that. Even the Republicans are sick of Bush, he's a moron, but Americans will not give up on conservative values this next election. If the Republicans put up almost anyone, and certainly any moderate, Hillary is sunk.

Women cannot be President. Especially when their name is Hilary.

Seriously, women cannot handle the pressure, but that's beside the point. Think about what other countries, countries which already hate America, will do if a women is President. Of course their prejudices will affect their view of us when that happens. Personally, I don't want a women to be President because I don't think it is their role. Being a Senator or Representative is fine, but the leader of the country, the Commander in Chief needs to be a man. That's not prejudice or bias. It's just a matter of culture.

does being a woman make someone incapable to be incharge?
no.

are women emotional? yes
are men emotional? yes

You ever see a group of men watching a sports event?
hollaring like idiots?

ever seen or heard a man doing a stupid stunt to show off for his buddies?

I'm sure you know that men have the "look mine is bigger" attitude, from their cars to their guns, to whatever can be compared.
( I'm a man by the way)

now what may hinder any woman from effective leadership is the prejuice of the "good old boys club"

and as a side note,
if you don't think a woman can fight a good war,
piss off your wife and see what happens.

now all that said,
I personally don't beleive any human being can rule right, we are not designed for it, and no one has done a good job from the time adam and eve were thrown out of the garden till now.

Like Dubyah has done such a fabulous job during his term as President by getting us into a war that may go on for years after he's done in office? I welcome any change a woman could bring to the Oval Office.

I guess your friend doesn't remember Margaret Thatcher in Britain during the Cold War. Guess he needs a history lesson.

Let's not knock New Yorkers here already!

Margaret Thatcher seemed to cope - The first British Female Prime Minister didn't have a problem with such matters.

Blair doesn't even turn up to the debates about the war he helped start!

Hillary is a left wing liberal wack job that will distroy our country. I think women can make great presidents as long as they are lesbians or stay single. Being a President and having the responsibilities of a mother are not possible.
