She's just another arsehole that refuses to follow her own moral guidelines.

"By no means am I saying every woman out there who doesn't do what I do is a bad female, or that your daughter shouldn't aspire to be the president," Rios said. "If that's what she wants, that's great, go for it. All it means is that I don't support that, that's my personal opinion."

Yeah, those are funny mental contortions she's doing there. "Hey, I'm not saying I'm against it, I just mean I'm against it." Classic.

I didn't take it that way. I understand your point, I just took it as "hey it's not for me but if you have the desire than go for it".

Kinda like how you don't like seafood but your not gonna tell other people not to eat it if they enjoy it. :D

Except she did do exactly that. She said, “I truly do believe a woman shouldn’t be president.” That's not just a claim she's making about herself, it's claim she's making about women in general.

Also, let's not ignore the awesomeness of the real life Kermit here.

To clarify when I said "hey it's not for me" the me was meant to mean women presidents are not for her. I didn't mean it to sound like she was talking about herself. I'll try one more comparison and drop it: It's like the people who don't agree with gay marriage but aren't against it from being legalized. Do you see what I'm trying to say, even if you still feel she is worth bashing?

and Real life Kermit is really freakin awesome. I like how it looks as though it has eyelashes on it's cornea.

Which is a nonsense opinion that just sounds like they're trying to have their bigot cake and eat liberal sushi too.

I don't see a problem with being honest about your opinion while respecting others, especially when it has no effect on you. It's perfectly reasonable for a topic like gay marriage. If this were about the death penalty I would definitely agree with you.

Personally, I think that everyone on this forum should be required to bash her, but if you disagree that's cool too.

Exactly.

I really like the way you analyze things, you come off more rational than the others.

Present company included of course.
