Call me sexist but I am predicting a huge loss of male support for mcsame

[Egnever]

Palin's speech struck me as that nagging voice in the background when you are trying to watch the game.

Nothing attractive about it at all.

Bitchy is the word that comes to mind.

I am sure I am not alone.

1. This popcorn will keep you company.

:popcorn:

[NashVegas]

7. Actually I'm With Him On That One

I just wouldn't make that big a deal about it.

[Ian David]

2. I think that's how all Alaskans sound, dontcha know?

But I could be wrong.

[phleshdef]

3. I dunno, sexist men tend to think with their penises...

...and if someone is bigoted enough to vote against a woman because of the way her voice sounds, there is an equal chance that same kind of person would support her simply on the basis of her being attractive.

Sometimes, being a man makes me ashamed.

[skooooo]

9. ashamed?

You don't really man that, do you?

[phleshdef]

14. Not literally...

Its just that I know and encounter a lot of other males that think that way and act that way. Men like that give the rest of us a bad reputation.

[TwilightGardener]

4. No, you're on to something. My husband couldn't stand her--he liked

her better with the sound off. Couldn't take that abrasive, flinty voice.

[tnlefty]

36. Mine can't stand her policy choices, but she annoys the hell out of

him with the way she sets her lower jaw and lower lip when she thinks she made a great point or when she slings an insult. She reminds him of that thing that Dimson** does with his bottom lip when he's made a caustic or totally arrogant comment.

[skooooo]

5. That doesn't make you sexist..

There are a lot of redneck men who will never vote for a woman on the ticket. I think you're right.

[greguganus]

28. ...and a lot of redneck men that won't vote for a black candidate. No one can win with a redneck.nt

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. Oddly, I expect the opposite

I expect Palin to be a wash with women but appeal to younger male independents.

Professional wrestling fans.

As many women will see throgh her as not, but men love the idea of a woman with a gun.

[democrat2thecore]

13. Yep. "She's hot" and "I'd do her" - That makes her presidential material! I think you're right K&H *

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

17. What an odd response...

This place is getting increasingly random.

[democrat2thecore]

19. No, I meant the same males you were talking about - the NASCAR crowd

Meaning, that's the extent of so many of those types thought process.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

21. Sorry! I thought you were ascribing that view to me.

I see her as appealing to some young people, mostly male, who support Obama only genrationally because McCain is so old and out of it.

[democrat2thecore]

23. No way - I always like your posts and I think you are right about the low-info male voter -nt

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

26. Just getting gun-shy, I guess!

:hi:

[Egnever]

38. is it any wonder? POW POW POW!

Duck!

[WeDidIt]

30. I think McCain already had those guys

so it's still a wash.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

40. Obama's number among the young are so strong there have to be some rednecks mixed in

[TheWraith]

8. From what I've seen, men seem to be a lot more forgiving to her than women.

Last night I was surrounded by a herd of Democratic women, including a few former Hillary supporters, and they uniformly abused Sarah Palin in much stronger terms than I've heard from most D-men.

[DevonRex]

37. Not my husband. He said that the speech was empty. He wasn't

as annoyed by her voice as I was. But he said he didn't find anything in her speech that dealt with solving the problems we face today.

And let me tell you, he hasn't been as "into" this election as I have been. But he did listen to every second of Obama's speech and Palin's speech and he said there is absolutely NO comparison.

Heh heh. Now he's on the Obama bandwagon, too. Of course he would have voted for the dem no matter what but he is always hesistant to invest too heavily in a candidate. And he is always more open to listening to what the repukes have to say, even when he really disagrees with them.

So, I trust his reaction completely and it really says something about Palin's lack of knowledge and lack of ideas about what the country needs.

[Virginia Dare]

10. To me she has a very abrasive personality..

but my judgment might be clouded by her politics. She sounds snarky and shrill.

[shaniqua6392]

16. I have to push the mute button as soon as I see her speaking.

Her voice is shrill and nasally. I think she may be a bit too abrasive for Repuke men for the most part. They like them mousy and obedient.

[patrice]

11. There must be more than a few men looking at the decent men around McCan't and thinking

what, exactly, ARE her qualifications for being selected over Romney or Huckabee.

Her job is to keep McCan't on task, focused, and "interested" and the men of America know it.

[treestar]

12. You're not sexist to point out that they are

I bet there are many repubs very nervous about a woman in that position (which includes their women). You know, at her age, she could be going through menopause soon, and you know how that, and that time of the month, makes women unstable and that's why they haven't held the top positions in the past and why the feminists are crazy and going against nature. I've heard that sentiment for years.

[ribrepin]

15. She reminded me of that nasty lady down @ the DMV

You know the one...her brother-in-law used his influence to get her the job and she's been doing it for the last twenty years.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Bet those men will love hearing that her husband quit his job to

watch the kids while she's vp

[DevonRex]

20. I'm with you. I found her bitchy, too. Look, if there was substance

along with confidence she would have been okay. But lying through her teeth in an annoyingly grating voice was just awful. And I could only stand it for a couple of minutes.

Edited to say that my husband LIKES Hillary but had NOTHING good to say about Palin. And he watched pretty much the whole thing, because I couldn't. He said that was no THERE there. Nothing but bitching (in the non-sexist use of the term).

[olkaz]

22. Not going to happen. These guys are stuck on stupid.

I have lots of friends in this category. McCain could have picked Cruella De Vil and they'd have been cool with it.

[DevonRex]

24. Those guys would get hot over any woman in a picture with a

rifle. And they're not the ones who would actually expect government to actually accomplish anything anyway.

[ej510]

27. Guys will vote for her because they would like to hit it.

[greguganus]

31. "stuck on stupid" lol n/t

[bushisanidiot]

25. That's exactly the argument the repukes made against Hillary.

the truth is, republican men will start to turn on McCondo.. because, even though they think the little lady is a hottie, they will NOT be comfortable with her sitting in the white house, should McOldie keal over. Republican men you see at the convention are posing for the cameras right now, but come election time, they will stay home. That's my prediction.

[redstate_democrat]

29. Not to mention about the fact she fired her COP brother in law

in a vindictive rage. Turns men off.

[sam kane]

32. Women rate her lower so far

Let's hope that men catch up.

[Codeine]

33. Nope. She's hot.

That's all she needs to overcome any lingering sexism - a pretty face and a sweet rack.

[ObamaKerryDem]

34. She IS bitchy. There, I said it. LOL.

And I'm a woman, so...call me sexist towards myself why don't 'ya, McCain supporters.. :eyes:

I already can't stand her...

[Egnever]

39. LOL

Thnx :)

[Radical Activist]

35. She seemed like a character out of desperate housewives.

The nasty suburban gossip who's always making snide comments behind someones back.
