[Phaedrus]

I'm amazed that so many women vote Democrat. They, it seems to me, should be the Original Conservatives.

Women generally seem to look at government the way the look at a husband; provider and protector. As the Nuke Family freys around the edges, pre-911 big government was cast in this "provider" role, providing $ and support. After 911, government's role has been recast as "protector"; this should scare the hell out of the Dems. Fortunately, like a non-reformed alcoholic, they are busy pretending that "everything is just fine."
