Cincinna,
As per your debate with newgeezer-
I am simply playing devil’s advocate here. I’d suggest you research the rise of both the modern Democratic Party and massive government spending. Both can be traced directly to the passing of the 19th Amendment.
I believe his point, that women tend to vote with their emotions more than their logic (in general, not across the board) can be easily borne out by researching election tallies. As to his point regarding the Founding Fathers, who advocated restricting the vote to only white males and whether they were ‘nuts’ - surely you must agree that his logic is interesting (if not tactful.)
I’m not advocating a repeal of the the 15th or 19th Amendments, nor am I asking you to, but doing so would destroy the Democratic Party and liberalism as political forces in this country. To wit:
2008 Presidential Election
Male 49-49% Obama/McCain
Female 56-43% Obama
White 55-43% McCain
Black 95-4% Obama
None of this means women can’t be good conservatives, good candidates, or just plain good. But they do, always have, and probably always will vote well to the left of men.
The Founding Fathers were operating within the confines of the society and culture of the time.
The OP is trying to read their minds posthumously to bolster his misogynist conclusions.
I hate to see someone as smart as you get into the Dem business of Identity Politics.
Trying to be like Dems by going after this group, race, gender etc is how we lost, IMHO.
