She also already said she wasn’t interested. It was on either The Daily Show or Colbert. ---

It’s one of those “I’m only doing this to show you how bad these people really are in secret even though they haven’t done any of this stuff (yet!)” arguments. See also: “all Muslims are terrorists who want to kill you, even the nice ones living in the suburbs in Wisconsin” and “all atheists hate God and want to destroy Christianity” and “all gays want to rape you and molest your children and marry your dog” and so on and so forth. ---

Don’t you understand that word is NOT hate speech, but only if you’re black yourself or a conservative accusing liberals of thinking it? ---

There’s no evidence that she is one other than the assumption that so often is made that a woman in a position of power, especially an unmarried one, is a lesbian.

First of all, that’s Michelangelo Signorile. He outs everyone. Secondly, I don’t see that the Republicans favor punishing her for anything. ---

> [@Cheryl44](#): > > They tried a token woman last time and the women didn’t vote for the ticket. So they’ll pick a male Latino this time and see if they can get the Latino vote. Please. :rolleyes: I’m tired of politicos thinking of people as monolithic voting blocks. Palin definitely was courted and chosen because of her gender, but McCain and his handlers forgot that women don’t vote for people based only on what sorts of genitals they’re sporting. No way I’m voting for a moronic talking head that seems to hold exactly opposite views to everything I value, regardless of how many vaginas or breasts she has. Likewise, while there are probably some Latinos that would vote for Rubio based only on his heritage, likely most will evaluate his stances on jobs, immigration, taxation, values, and so on before making their decision. Like everyone else does, even white males. ---

Republicans know they’re not going to win the Latino vote. They weren’t going to win it anyway and the years of hardcore anti-immigration policy have not helped. They’re hoping to win a big enough chunk of it to cut into Obama’s vote total and win Florida. The magic percentage for them is supposedly 35. ---
