your refusal to take what was a serious point that Toe made (that I continued) serious, does not take away the seriousness of it.bluetick wrote:I'm thinking your mom made a tragic mistake with rat.

You made no effort to disagree with my position or reasoning.
If Romney loses (God help us all if he does, but IF he does) we have one gender to blame, the same gender that gave us the Obamanation. One gender votes for the candidate that they believe is the best person for their wives and their children. The other gender votes based on specific issues centered around their gender specifically. That is what has happened since 1920, don't deny it. But long before that 19th Amendment, women (who had no use for the right to vote) could clearly understand exactly why they didn't want their gender anywhere near the voting booth. They knew that women voting would hurt the sacrament of marriage. It would pit a wife against her husband. It would hasten the destruction of families. Today, you don't even see families forming. It has gotten so bad now that the family unit (with 41% of children being born out of wedlock, with only 30% of black women over the age of 18 married) is simply ceasing to exist. Perhaps you don't see this as a problem, but you are an Obama voter.
The sad thing Tick, is this is a very basic Civics lesson. I don't think for one second, that you even had a CLUE as to why anyone (women in particular) would have not wanted women to vote.
