Well waddya know, Rick: Message #219365 I actually said something positive about Obama. I could bring myself to say something positive about you as well if you refrained from implying that women are incapable of rational thought because they are "emotional." This is sooo old school sexim, Rick. It's time to update your programming. I don't think I'm zeroing in on women. I can think of plenty of men, including myself on occasion, whose views of a person or issue are colored by emotions, preventing any semblance of objectivity.
