Unfortunately I know many who do. I knew some who wouldn’t vote for Dole because he shook with his lift hand, divorce his first wife or that Clinton was good looking. It is sad but never the less it is true. Most would deny it if you ask them directly ? but if you listen to you can tell the truth. YAJ

Can you imagine the MSM talking up the idea that an unseen block of voters are going to come out of the woodwork to vote for a candidate because she is a woman? Voting for a candidate because of their height, gender, color, etc is a pretty shallow reason. Reasonable people can differ on whether Hillary Care would have been a good or bad thing for the country. I think it would be bad and if the democrats are able to get it passed, it would be tossed out within 10 years with the democrats as the majority of voters won't accept the degradation of care compared to what they get now. Voting for or against Hillary and her vision of expanding government to take away your choice is at least doing her the courtesy of judging her on her positions on problems. Voting for or against her because she lacks the diversity of chromosomes should be considered insulting to both her and the voter.
