Question for the married guys....How would your wife feel if she was never again allowed to vote in a Federal election?... Note: This relates to some posts in the obama mandatory voting thread and I didnt want to butt in on it.

She is an American citizen by birth...worked all her life.
I have shirts, yard signs, a sign for my truck and worked the polls to support a woman that is one of the best candidates I could ever hope to find. I would vote for her for any office she chose to seek. She is the hardest working most honest person I've ever seen run for office.
She's on the Deed, she could vote..... My Daughter got to vote the first time last fall and went with Mom. (she has been to voting many times since they are usually off school, she knows damn well it is not optional and to get her * out there!)
I will take it the wife would be rather upset[;)]
I don't think my wife would care one way or the other.
+1 I think my wife only votes to void out my vote, then remind me of it till next time.........
Remember, women have been screwing things up since Eve was created!![}:)]
The good thing is my vote is actually 4 votes. I fill out a sample ballot for my wife, her sister and husband and all 4 of us vote that ballot[;)]

Very similar to how it is around here.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
quote:Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress;
If we ever dust off the Constitution and actually decide to use it all the discussions about federal elections would go away. According to the Constitution there are no federal elections. The citizens of each state choose their Electors the way they want to choose them. The "federal election" is when the Electors go to Washington, DC and vote for the President.
Under the Constitution you could have a situation where in Oregon only women could vote and in Massachusetts only men could vote. If that happened I think the state politicians would have short careers. Not necessarily a bad thing.
BTW, my wife of 44 years is a loyal subject of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 2nd. British, don't you know, old chap! Never been a US citizen. Has a green card and a black and gold passport.

Simple fact is MOST women vote based on emotion, and not logic. One of the biggest reasons for all of the 'programs' we have is female voters. Think about it and tell me I'm wrong.[:)]
"It's for the children" is just one of the many mantras that come to mind. They never run out of ideas that they are willing to spend everybodys money on.
I'm not talking about being fair,...I'm talking what would be best for the country. No worries though, it will NEVER, EVER happen, and I am aware of that.
In his old age he still maintained he was right about the first two.
It really hurt him when grandma registered as a Republican.
Remember they promised us that giving women the vote would end all wars.
