“It’s the reason why the Founders didn’t put a right to vote in the Constitution, and why enfranchising women, non tax payers, and imbeciles over the last 100 years means this Republic will fall very soon.” “Women? Ouch...”

Well, gotta say that the women’s vote has been (and is) often disturbing. They went for JFK, Clinton, Obama and now Romney. They’re also the major stumbling block for Newt, who is just what our country needs at this time.

I think we conservative females on FR are awesome, but sadly, we don’t represent the majority of women voters, obviously.

The Republic would be better served if only tax payers and veterans were enfranchised, regardless of gender.

Unfortunately, there is no way to put the universal suffrage horses back in the barn.

We are doomed.

"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." James Madison

Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams: letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.:Thomas Jefferson
