I can tell you this, Bill Clinton was elected due to the women who voted for him. Clinton received the majority of the women vote, most of whom found him "handsome" and "charming". Even before the Monica Lewinsky incident, we knew of Bill Clinton's propensity for harassing and sexually abusing women. Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones were two earlier victims who came forward. But these women were branded "tramps" and "gold diggers" by the very women who should have stood up to support them. The National Organization for Women, an organization that purports to advance the cause of women was not only silent on the matter, but they actively supported Bill Clinton 100% and even actively worked to tarnish and destroy the reputations of Bill Clinton's accusers.
Bill Clinton is not the only example in which the majority of women will throw their fellow women to the wolves in exchange for a male politician that supports their political agenda, yet treats women like dirt and like sexual objects. The Kennedys (all of them) come to mind. Need I go on?
With all due respect, the problem is with the women. If not for the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, none of these clowns would have been elected to public office.
By the way, I'm not advocating the repeal of the 19th Amendment, however many of our women do cast their votes shallowly. They put way too much emphasis on a candidate's good looks and charisma and once they find candidates who fit that bill, they become blinded to the candidate's moral failings as a person and will attack others who attempt to bring those failings into question.
I realize I am being general here and that many women out there do not get taken in by these snake-oil charmers, but any detailed analysis of election results will clearly show that the Bill Clintons and Ted Kennedys of the world were elected on the strength of the women vote and the male voters were unable to overcome the advantage that the women voters gave them.
Ironically, should Sarah Palin be nominated in 2012, it is going to be up to the men to elect her, as many women are already against her out of petty jealousy. If the Democrats have a charismatic, womanizing male candidate, it's going to be tough for the men to tilt the balance the other way (but we'll give it our best shot).
All women are not the same. Unfortunately though, too many are idiot followers, not capable of big picture thinking,
But we cannot allow them to define our world, can we?
Are you implying that the males just shuffle off and say, ‘well, what about those women that liked Clinton, forget it, i’m protecting my porn..”?
Maybe this nobama screwup election maybe, maybe has opened many women's and otherwise sane dems eyes to tyranny posing as progressive-ism.
Instead of looking back at the 19th, we should seriously consider an IQ test for voter registration or at minimum mandatory verifiable photo ID to cast any vote and serious criminal prosecution of voter fraud, which should offer some relief from the “silly/stupid/fake/dead” dem voter fraud.
Ted Bundy was described much the same way...
