[Rhodes22-list] Political Humor: "I Did Not Have Sex With That Man"

[Joseph Hadzima]

Before I and in my $0.02 I'll put on my asbestos suit.

Now Elle, at that time, males over 21 were the only people
allowed to vote, and a very large number of them had to
vote to create the 19th Amendment, agrees with the phrase
that "they let them have the vote".   If women at that time
held a revolution/revolt and created a new government which
included voting right for woman, then that phrase would be
FALSE, and it would be true that no man gave, or allowed
them to have anything.

I in no way wish to imply that the Suffrage movement was
anything less that HERoic!  I am also convinced that those
civil actions were the catalyst for a majority of men with
voting rights to pass the 19th Amendment.

See women may need to express their wishes (sometime more
than once, maybe a little louder) in a strong argument and
men are perfectly able to understand (eventually) and do
the right thing!

I let my wife vote (I drive us both to the polling center
rather than disable her car), even when she tells me she's
voting for the other candidate!  :-)

It is a wonderful accomplishment that most of the 27
amendments (though only 26 are in force) can be created
through civil actions, and education of our brothers &
sisters.  A pretty good record except for the ones which
required a nasty war between the states.

sorry I just had to split hairs tonight - had too many
split for me at work, and I have too many miss-firing
neuron - Hey Rummy how about a drink over here!


only a few more days and then the END of the campaign ads
on TV!!!!!!   Praise the Lord (and pass the ammunition)!

remember to vote early & vote often!

I'm goon put down my wine now and shutdown the putter.  

play nice!
