Comments on: I Like a Man Who Honors and Respects His Wife http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/08/i-like-a-man-who-honors-and-respects-his-wife Loaning brain cells to those in need since 2003 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:16:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Hold_That_Tiger http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/08/i-like-a-man-who-honors-and-respects-his-wife#comment-41251 Hold_That_Tiger Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:16:35 +0000 http://commentsfromleftfield.com/?p=4594#comment-41251 Frankly, I don't think that it is a big deal that McCain made this gaffe, I suspect that McCain, like many men in his generation, views his Wife as a reflection of his own sense of self-worth. This seems to be especially true of some male Politicians both on the right and on the left. In all likelyhood McCain didn't realize that "Miss Buffalo Chip" was essentially a T & A contest, but rather, thought of it as a tribute to female (outer) beauty, which his much younger, much botoxed wife still has in her 50's. The rational voter has only to review where McCain stands on women's issues to see that McCain stands to the far, far right on issues such as abortion, family planning, and equal pay for equal work, etc. However, if the brouhaha about this minor misstep enlightens the crack-pot faction of Hillary supporters still vocally proclaiming that they will vote for McCain rather than Obama, despite McCain's political stance being diametrically opposed to Mrs. Clinton's, then I will be happy.

I wonder why they're all so mum now. It certainly couldn't be because they're all friggen hypocrites...

And I don't believe he didn't know the details. I think it's a mistake to let McCain off the hook on the grounds that his staff led him wrong. If he's that easy to mislead, he should not be president.

So that means he either has a staffer that is so stupid they had no idea what happens at the "beauty" contest. Or they knew and were totally pandering to the bikers. I'm guessing the latter.
