Yeah, this has been bothering me since the beginning (even though I hate Palin)... every time I hear a guy say, "Well, I'd do her" etc... it makes me want to punch something. Why the fuck is that necessary? Why is it even permitted?

That's what my dad has always done, in WA state, because it always goes blue... although this year, it seems like he's actually going to vote for Obama, which is kinda cool (for me). I have never particularly cared who he voted for, as long as he didn't vote republican, but this year I feel like it matters more than usual. If McCain wins, we will all be royally fucked, far more than if Obama wins. I am convinced of that.
Btw, so are all the TFP ladies non-republicans? I hope we haven't dissuaded anyone from expressing support for the other side, with our tone here...

I just hope that more of America's women will come to the same conclusion... it really alarms me that they just won't see it.
