Garp,

Let me get this analogy straight here. (Sorry for the wordiness)

Are you saying that if a product (Obama/Biden campaign) benefits from sexism of its' buyers (though the product itself is not sexist), while another product (McCain/Palin campaign) does not, it's good to buy the product that isn't benefiting from the sexism of it's buyers, even if that said product (McCain/Palin) is inferior?

Is the bad behaviour of a candidate's supporter sufficient reason not to vote for the candidate?

My bad...
I think garp just answered my question:

garp-

I've read some of the Obama supporters websites where the gender name calling type of insults were hurled constantly at Hillary.

So these websites have suddenly shut down and that's why you aren't linking up to them?

Skylark's precognitive powers (which pales to yours) tells him that Garp will provide (so should he/she choose) evidence that is evidence only to his/her definition of misogyny...

If I reveal myself, it'll have to wait till the morning. I'm at the public library now (no internet at home) and won't have access to my beautiful mug til the morning...

Caudimordax, (350. Comment #277292 by Caudimordax)

Love the last line of that link:

"But one of these days they’re going to have to realize that the G.O.P. has become the party of intolerance."

I think many know that already, and they're proud of it...

And yes, those are stuffed (FAKE) penguins with Skylark. I think Skylark had done something wrong and was trying to hide...

It almost worked...

[Edit: Added FAKE: I just realized that a few people might just actually think those penguins were once real... They weren't]
[Edit: replaced 'they' with 'many' for clarity]

I agree with you on the second sentence (and also agree with MaxD), but...

(There's almost always that ugly 'but')

Coming from a background where many of my friends were fundamentalists, I still cannot fathom how their brains work.

Freewill vs God's will...

It's an abyss they have somehow managed to circumnavigate without going absolutely ape shit...

Well, at least most of them...

It's those few that can't quite get across that abyss that I fear...

Those few that need and crave god, but miss that edge when going across the abyss from rationality to irrationality and back...

If only they TRUELY believed in god's will and stayed out of god's business...
