[Dick Bachert]

Bill and Hillary klintoon prove the truth of THAT far better than anything else I might conjure up here.

Generally, women are NOT risk-takers. They are the security seeking nest-builders. They voted for the klintoons PRECISELY because the klintoons did a better job of promising -- falsely and disingenuously, of course -- that "security."

They weren't elected by "soccer DADS," were they?

[Polonius]

The fact that women tend to vote Democrat isn't sufficient reason to deny them the franchise, and if that's the best argument you can muster it's never going to happen anyway. By that logic, blacks and other minority groups should also be denied the right to vote, since they also tend to be a stalwart part of the Democrat base.

Only those who are incapable of acting rationally (such as children and the mentally retarded) or who have proven themselves a danger to society should be denied the vote. But even if you disagree with those general criteria, I'd still contend that the way to decide who has the franchise should be by objective means, rather than who can help or hinder your political goals.

And on a side note, I'd be interested to know whether either of you gentlemen are married.
