I was thinking about another post where it was stated that women should be involved in government. Do you believe that this extends to voting?

Since women CAN vote here in the US, should they?

Please be honest, but be nice. I am really curious!

SHOULDN'T not should.

Oh and what I meant by "be nice" is be charitable to your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ if there are varying opinions.

I personally won't be offended by the answer because I'm not the greatest/most informed citizen anyway, sadly.

Until I hear for sure that voting doesn't matter in this country, I feel that at this point, all of us have an obligation to vote. We need to show that we're paying attention, and the more of us that vote, the better.

That being said, I do think that the vote for women was just one of many things that led to division in the home.

I always make sure that my H and I are on the same page with who and what we're voting for ... I don't vote against him.

I say no. Most women let their emotions override their reason. Women are more easily duped by politicians' BS. Men are usually better at cutting through the bull and making a reasoned logical decision.

Honestly, I think the whole "one person, one vote" idea is garbage. Most people, imho, are too ill-informed, ignorant or plain stupid to vote. Just look at how many people were taken in by Obamao's rhetoric about Hope and Change.

There should be some sort of test to be able to vote. If you show up to vote wearing a Lady Ga-Ga shirt or with your pants sagged halfway to your knees, sorry; you are not allowed to decide where this country goes.

There's more than one way to answer this question.

~Voting is about power. Women shouldn't have too much, because it undermines patriarchy. I think that really gets to the heart of your question.

~Voting is retarded; they're just pretending to listen to you

~Democracy is a revolutionary idea in the west and that revolution has not gone well. So, I'm gonna say, I think we'd be better off going back to what we had before. In other words, I wouldn't call this "progress." Or maybe I should say, progress doesn't equal good.
