I was referring to previous forums on a different site. All answers I saw supporting her were because she was a woman. In this forum W.E.B listed as a reason some people support her. And it is for some ignorant people.

Vote for whoever you want to win. 3rd party should not matter.

She basically just parachuted into New York. There was some Democrat who was next in line to become Senator in NY and she just threw his ass out. I'm the former First Lady, bitch, get out of my seat!
Now we see that her entitlements are not just a Senate seat, but the Presidency itself, over candidates who are vastly more qualified for the position (i.e. Biden). I really don't like Clinton.

Like I say, if Hillary gets the nomination will win my state by a landslide most likely. So a vote for a 3rd party is a vote for a 3rd party, and not for a Republican. That's simple arithmetic, which I hope does not elude you here. If you would like to get more people to vote for a Republican, then by all means keep going around annoying them with dishonest comments like the above.

I don't think it's a question of ignorance. The women who support Hillary do so because they agree with her on the issues and they want a woman President. They place a high priority on a woman president whereas people like myself give it a low priority.

I support Hillary because she is the only one who can beat the republicans.

You think Hillary can beat the GOP more easily than Biden can, even though her negatives are higher than anyone else's from both sides of the aisle?

I am talking about people on a different forum site. Some of them want her to be president solely because she is a women. That is the only reason they give. I am sure some people take her being a woman as a issue, but the only reason? That in my mind is ignorant. I don't think race, sex, or religion should be a issue when running for president. If you agree with her because of the issues then fine. I do back to my original post and say why you agree with such opinions on issues.

Well I'm talking about most people. Damn the people on other sites. Even a forum like this one (which is a lot saner than most) is not going to be representative of the American people. Extremists tend to join political forums and blogs, so right off the bat you discount what they have to say as representative of the country.
Now I don't know what forum you are talking about, but people on extremists sites are just bitches to me.  Their comments mean nothing.

Some of those issues in the OP I'm not sure about, but having video games on the mind as a topic is an automatic disqualification for me.
