I saw a bumper sticker that said "When Women Vote, Democrats are Elected". In light of that I like to get rid of the 19th Amendment as well.

A well thought out piece, but liberals would not find it in their interest to repeal the Second Amendment, as they believe in concentration of power at the federal level.

Be Seeing You,

Wow, and the car's still in one piece? ;-)

By the way, this column's been posted here, in case you're curious.

A return to election of senators via state legislatures would have no effect on campaign expeditures. It would up the ante for state legislative races. Corruption and lack-of-transperancy are a problem with state legislatures.

So, repealing the direct election of senators may or may not improve the system. Repealing the right of women to vote? No way. That's a non-starter. Too many conservative women run the local party organizations.

Repealing the income tax is a grand idea. It would help starve the monster.

Ha, Ha. Not by this woman. I'm a conservative woman of the Ann Coulter mindset--gee, if I only had a body like hers.

That's always an interesting discussion topic to bring up at parties, if the talk has already turned political.

I'll all for killing the 17th Amendment, too.

Me too, I would sadly give up my vote if it meant the majority of women didn't get to vote democrat. You can almost trace our decline to the 19th Amendment.
