>>I wonder, like Ann Coulter, Christine the witch and now Haley, does she want to be one of Romney’s many wives???
Women tend to vote on height and hair. The 19th Amendment has destroyed America.
Agree.
You can't be serious. If you are, you're on the wrong site.
Don't forget that this site was heavily pro-Palin until she decided not to run. Many and probably most of us are quite willing to support a conservative woman running for political office if she's the best candidate.
Comments like yours, even if they are intended as troll bait, need to get a thought-out conservative response to bury them in the ground rather than leave people wondering if the logical outcome of conservatism is barring women from voting.
I'm not unaware of the conservative arguments being made a century ago against universal suffrage for both women and men. Basically the arguments took two forms. One was based on the (correct) biblical principle of male headship in the home and the church which incorrectly — and contrary to explicit biblical examples such as Deborah — was extended from the spheres of the home and the church to the sphere of the state. The other form was practical rather than principled, namely, that adding women to the voting rolls would damage political life on the grounds that women were uneducated, that women vote based on emotions and not reason, and that women were predominantly anti-war and were predominantly supporters of Prohibition.
Those arguments were wrong then, they're wrong now, and fortunately most of us in the conservative movement know that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with women voting. There is nothing wrong with women running for office, as long as they are conservative, and for some purposes in some races, a conservative woman is **MUCH** more electable than a man with the same views.
There is absolutely nothing inconsistent in being a conservative supporter of women voting in civil elections and of women being elected to civil office.
Some of us, myself included, have major problems with women in church office. That's a whole different issue. God has established rules for the church and the home that are far more specific than what he has established for the state or for Christians in politics. If I understand correctly, Michelle Bachmann couldn't even vote in the congregational meetings when she was a member of a Wisconsin Synod Lutheran church, but that didn't stop her from becoming aggressively involved in civil politics.
