Eliminate women's suffrage?

[Tom228]

we should remove the amendment, in my honest opinion, but women should be able to vote.

Under the Constitution, all men were created equal (this applies to women too), therefore, why do we need an amendment to the Constitution, just so women can vote?

A lot of these amendments sound good at first, but, in the long run, only increase government power.

Then then some anti-women guy is going to turn around that phrase and say that it say specifically "man" then there'll be a huge debate, then yea.

Women were responsible for ending prohibition as well.

Hmmmm?

The question I would ask is even more politically incorrect.

BTW I agree, women IN GENERAL love socialism. Until they get it.

There are wonderful exceptions to the rule. That being said I would not end women voting.

But I would say that anyone who receives any government welfare in any form (farm subsidy, corporate welfare or good ol' "poor people" welfare) can't vote, and can't contribute to a politician.

People have no right to vote money out of my pocket and into theirs. Corporate welfare especially - they get our taxes and then contribute to politicians who will continue to give them my taxes? Since money is fungible, they are essentially TAKING MY MONEY AND CONTRIBUTING IT TO A CANDIDATE OF THEIR CHOICE???

This reminds me of "The Man Show" where they got a booth and were getting signatures and womens help to end women's suffrage. Was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

I kinda like the idea of property owners votes having more weight than non-property owners. Was that Locke's idea?

Property owners have more at stake and are less likely to vote for more taxes.

But we all own property. We own our bodies which is our personal property.

Yeah, that was classic. Scary, but funny and sad too.

No taxation without representation.

If you remove my right to vote, then all my tax bills better be $0!!!

I think it'd be fairly easy to counter that argument, personally.

It's just like a few other amendments, like the right for Black people to vote; that shouldn't have ever been put in there; they should have just been allowed to vote, period.

As I said, "all men are created equal".

I'm 100% for allowing women and any other race to vote, I just don't think we need an amendment to do it; it ends up broadly expanding the government's power....remember; if they can give you the right to vote in an amendment, they can revoke the right to vote too.

Lol, if that was the case, then Ron Paul would be the winner already, even by the media's standards *chuckles* considering that over HALF of Americans are on some form of welfare....well, it'd be nearly impossible for Democrats to win, and there would only be a few candidates that would be able to withstand something like this.....and well, Ron Paul would be at the head of the pack.

Yes, I saw that. In fact that's what prompted option #3 in the above poll.

If you ask random people on the street if they want to eliminate womens' suffrage most would say "yes" ha ha


The Man Show was one of the best shows on T.V. EVER!!!!


This is another great moment on TV:

I can't believe you are such an idoit to bring this "joke" up again, and on a night we could be actually getting new supporters. If you this helping lose this election, by turning off potential voters is really funny.. this post should have been in hot topics. You have cost us votes. Stop supporting this idiot on the forums. He is harming the campaign with these posts. I am sure he is a good person who has helped in other ways buy these anti female "jokes" are really a stupid thing to have at the top on a huge night for new people. Get this thread out of here.

The amendments had to be put in to force some states to treat humans like humans. America was pretty slow in letting women vote and even worse with blacks.

Constitution still lists free men and 3/5s of other men when taking the census.

Not really any mechanism to tidy that up.

 

[DamianTV]

I cant believe that there were a few people that voted YES. Hopefully that was a joke vote in response to a joke poll...

If you really dont know SUFFRAGE IS THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

 

[PaleoForPaul]

Every Republican since Goldwater would have won the presidency if it weren't for the female vote.

I still wouldn't approve removing their right to vote. There are plenty of liberty minded women, as you can see on these forums.

 

[PaleoForPaul]

Just a followup to this, 58% of women believe the Constitution guarantees each person the right to own a gun.

I hope the 20 people who voted Yes so far were joking. Tyranny of the majority is the problem, not who's in the majority.

 

[kalami]

lol people voted yes

 

[MS0453]

Lol guys. Anyone that voted yes is obviously doing it to be a smart-ass.

Sorry, there is no right to vote. It's a privilege.

I understand your concern and it is a valid point. But I don't think anyone is going to seriously think Ron Paul wants to end suffrage for women.

You realize we're talking about people who voted for Bush twice? I have to agree with autobot here.
