To this day, my elderly uncle still proclaims that only landowners should be allowed to vote. He says this would result in a better managed, decentralized govt. and is how our forefathers intended it...
Asked if he was really saying that America would be a better country if women didn't vote, he answered:
It's not some crazy extremist. Actually, it is, but it's also a mainstream right-winger paid by one of the pre-eminent publications on the right. He's part of the right's ideological leadership.
And he thinks you women shouldn't vote.
Every turkey who isn't elected or advising the President is entitled to his opinion.

I do think that women tend to vote more emotionally than men but then they are still involved in decision making by their power over the men in their house?
Men just use DIFFERENT emotions.
If we are making wide-sweeping generalizations:
Men vote emotionally when they think their country has been 'insulted' or is acting "weak"...sometimes being ready to rush to war without thinking things through based on EMOTIONS that are triggered in them.
We need the viewpoint (and votes) of men AND women to keep us balanced.

Yes! You are right, great post!!...there ARE some really bloodthirsty women who love war but for the most part women use their brain, think things through, are less ego-driven or ego-protective, LESS emotional than men....hence BETTER at running a country......
Let's remember....most religions and Fascism are very sexist.

Actually the opposite is true, if only women had the vote we would be better off, they are definately the more levelheaded gender.

Well, even turkeys who get elected and advisors to the President are entitled to their own opinions, too.
But the point is that when people in intellectual leadership positions, like Derbyshire and Coulter are, state beliefs that are not only repulsive but also reinforce what many of us already suspect is true of the GOP - then you have to take it more seriously than just calling them turkeys.
It's like racism. It's one thing when a few racists join in the teabagging fun. You can dismiss them as fringe elements. It's another thing when Beck and Limbaugh make out-and-out racist statements. Then you have to take it seriously.
It would be a better country if women RAN it (along with a few great men chosen by a special committee). Here come the verbal slings and arrows ! I am safe in my cave with a rubber chicken, Hansen's soda, night vision goggles and a pair of wax lips, so feel free to fire away !
Heaven knows we'd HAVE to do better than the men have done.
