NewChapter, I'm speaking in generalities. There are always individual exceptions to the rule. I get tired of the sexist bs coming from the left and the vulgar inuendos. It seems sometimes that's all they have, because they sure don't have real solutions that make sense.

I don't classify myself as a liberal, but you do have to admit she knew what she was doing with that corn dog.

I don't like the sexist nonsense either. Perhaps though, I am not an exception, but the rule. It pisses me off, as much as I disagree with Bachmann, that she is now reduced to a pic eating a hotdog. Yet sometimes perfectly nice people give in to such temptation. It's not a good idea to judge everyone on a weak moment.
And as far as solutions. This will be the eighth time I have asked this question, but no one has ever answered. What is the conservative solution to health care? I've never heard one, and can't get an answer. Now I already KNOW how conservatives hate Obama's health care reform. I am still waiting to here an alternative, serious, workable solution.

No George, I don't have to admit that. For that matter, judging from what I know about her, she was probably absolutely oblivious to how that pic would look. You know I've read your posts. I know you tend to objectify women---but I don't know if you are aware of how often. That's fine if it makes you happy. Just don't assume that everyone does so, OR that women somehow invite such nonsense by simply eating a hotdog in public.
It's absolutely juvenile. The problem is your giggling completely invalidates her. I certainly don't want to invalidate her because I think she is dangerous.

But you do have to admit it's funny, in the context of her being a horrible person, a political foe, an idiot married to a "pray away the gay" "counselor" who is very likely gay himself, and a rightwing religious nut to boot.
This isn't sexist, it's just good fun:

It is sexist. It invalidates a female politician. Pics like this of men aren't used in political discussions. She has strong views that are worth arguing, but there is no need to throw this in. I don't have to admit it is funny. Stop asking me to do so.
I know this sounds truly uptight---but the context has a lot to do with it. As a woman who had a bit of power at work, I had to deal with this type of attitude as an undercurrent to everything I did. I'm tired of it. It's not funny. This woman is running for president of the US. It's inappropriate. It's like saying, yes you aspire to be the most powerful person in the country, maybe the world, but I can still reduce you to a blow job joke and put you back in your place.

You are absolutely correct! She has no business running for President, it's completely inappropriate! -

I was hoping for a little political discussion and education with my OP, instead I got a good lesson in sexism and juvinile behavior..
cheers
