It isn't going to happen. If there was any chance it would have been an issue when Bush was Pres and had a supreme court in his favor politically.

True, but it is the RW that makes abortion into a political issue, its virtually impossible to win a GOP Primary unless you are not pro-choice.

If women win elections, fine.

But that special committe comment...that would amount to a matriarchy where men are excluded from gov't except as figureheads. Welcome to the Radical Feminist Republic of America.

Radical thoughts like that are just as bad as the thoughts expressed by the individual in the OP's post.

Read and write english and be a citizen of this country not dual citizenship.
Having duel citizenship DOES mean you're a citizen of this country.

And he thinks you women shouldn't vote.
It does have a cynical logic to it. After all republicans cant win an honest election if women, minorities and young people are allowed to vote.

There are plenty of those two groups in the Democratic Party.

We seemed to win an honest an election in 04. Women, minorities and young people were allowed to vote in that one.

We also don't have ACORN hovering over our party.
