Sure. But what kind of women? Prigs, probably. Bluenoses. Moral scolds. Chicks who worry more about showing a little ankle than about showing compassion for the inner-city single Mom who started life at a disadvantage because of her skin color and now has to rely on the kindly nurturing of government for her upkeep. Ladies who strive more for social conservatism than for the kind of social justice a big government technocrat provides through his benevolent policies: free health care for all! Minimum wage increases tied to inflation! An end to the willy-nilly distribution of pernicious assault weapons to just anybody who happens to be a law-abiding citizen.
So it’s not like their support really counts for much.
This little bit of polling makes me all giggly. I’ll have to keep an eye on that.
Women who don’t want The Man to pay their mortgages?
Women who recognize a culture warrior when they see one, and who are sick to death of the pornification of America?

Ahistorical? How the bleepin’ bleep does that bleep make the bleeping connection between Roe v. Wade and women’s sufferage, to say nothing about women and property?
If we overturn Roe, The Sons of Jacob will have won!

No, no. Women hate him because he wants to outlaw birth control and force them to have babies constantly. Or so I’ve heard. Gallup must be confused.
They can’t resist the sweater vest.
Rick needs to lay off the pizza or start hitting the treadmill in the morning. Those sweater vests are making him look like a muffin top.
As told to us by those who’ve been through them leigh, economies of personal energy use and replenishment are hard to come by for campaigners deep into campaign seasons, for want of time mostly, though the energy deficits themselves play a part in a kind of vicious cycle.
Fun with false dichotomies:
I usually see these tiresome arguments from the left. The assumption is that the past is a package deal: if you want to retrieve one public virtue from the past, the vices from that same era must necessarily come with it, as if there were a causal or correlative relationship between less public sexuality and ill treatment of blacks.
Worse, Gabriel actually posits the false dichotomy between abortion being illegal and women’s suffrage, as if the two were mutually exclusive conditions.
I get it: Ace and his crew aren’t on board with the Jesus-talk. That’s fine: they’re entitled to their opinion.
But moronic arguments like this one are much more moronic than the usual moronicity from AOSHQ. I thought they were able to spot sophistry THIS obvious.
Oh I know sdferr. I just don’t dig the sweater vest since it make him look dumpy. Having to go to all those meet ‘n’ great things and eating on the fly does no one any favors.
“Slavery was legal, indeed enshrined in our Constitution by our Founding Fathers.” I stopped reading there. There’s nothing in the Constitution that legalized slavery. In fact, per Lincoln, the Declaration and Constitution made it all but certain slavery couldn’t last.
Often I try to comment over there but something in the software set up stops me.
Or I’d tell them.
By the way, dead on about how they’re beginning to argue: just like leftists, with sophistry, false dichotomies, panders to protected groups, etc. Malor, I guess, shares with all the leftists a distrust of old those dead white males who were so intolerant as to start a country where you were free to follow any religion, your rights were unalienable, and you were given the opportunity for self governance that was checked by competing interests and the division of power — leading to the most prosperous and successful country on earth.
He doesn’t much like these contemporary Constitution fetishists. I wonder, would he prefer something more akin to the South African constitution? Perhaps he and Justice Ginsberg can have a drink and talk about it…
I’m sure Malor must have a better understanding of slavery and the Constitution that did, say, Frederick Douglass.
Gabe’s a lawyer after all. Douglass wasn’t a lawyer.
Malor will be coming out as a liberal in less than a year, is my guess.
Gabe’s a lawyer? I had no idea that University of Phoenix had a law school.
Gabe is gay, and so he is allergic to the days when gays were routinely beaten senseless with the approbation of society.
I can’t fault him for not wanting to turn the clock back on THAT (nor do I want t0 return to that), but I’m surprised that he thinks everyone harking back to the past is secretly hoping to restore gay-bashing to respectability.
And women in the kitchen, and blacks on the ends of tethers, tending to the bean fields, then delighting us with dance!
I just walked into my kitchen, barefoot, and put tater cakes on the griddle?
GOOD HEAVENS WHAT HAVE I DONE???
You better look pretty damned good doin’ it, too, di.
Gabe’s a lawyer after all.
Well that explains it then.
Gabe is gay,
Unless it doesn’t. The political is personal.
And identity politics is a bitch.
I think Taranto did a nice job of turning the social issues wedge on it’s head today: Why not say the Democrats are “exploiting” social issues to persuade wealthy blue-staters to vote against their own interests, while less-affluent red-staters are voting Republican on principle because they’re “repelled” by social liberalism?
Why not indeed?
“I’m surprised that he thinks everyone harking back to the past is secretly hoping to restore gay-bashing to respectability.”
the future is “shiney” the past not so much. hey don’t do the “gravity” thing it ain’t “cool” when jumping off a “bridge”
“Gabe is gay, ”
no gabe is a product of nea “education”
Reader pool.
That’ll only happen if Santorum wins the White House in November
is my guess.
If that happens there will be an epidemic of neo-lizards.
*
In fairness geoff, a number of those prospective neo-lizards are only on the right because of 9/11 and the GWOT. It’s not surprising then that as the threat recedes so does their identification with the right.
Anyway, I think you want the last week of Jan. to the first week of Feb. in the pool, or you want Feb. 22, 2013.
I’d give them some time so March 15th for the history.
Besides it was just a pun on “reader poll”.

And it was a good one.
But I”m a literalist, and Jeff said “less than a year” not “about a year or so.”
“As president of my union — the Screen Actors Guild — I spent many hours with the late George Meany, whose love of this country and whose belief in a strong defense against all totalitarians is one of labor’s greatest legacies. One year ago today on Labor Day George Meany told the American people:”

Hearing people talk about slavery in America without any real historical understanding of the role of slavery in human societies drives me crazy. They may have a vague idea that the Jews were slaves in that one mummie movie, and of course the Republicans ran slavery here in the US, while the rest of the world, for the rest of recorded and unrecorded history, well who knows.
Slavery is gone from this world (to the extent that it is) due primarily to the work of Western Christians, and the blood of more than half a million mostly white American men.
Surreal Twitter convo between Amanda Marcotte and Joshua Treviño:
I’m astounded by the lack of vulgarity on Amanda’s part, though. Maybe the meds have kicked in.

Marcotte’s warm, caring nature just permeates everything she says.
Or perhaps her embrace of the Left’s vision of No-Fault freedom has warped her natural warmth and caring.
Didn’t Trevino ask Amanda the obvious questions? Namely, out of all the times she used contraception, did she ever pay out of pocket for it? And if not, would having to pay for it have prevented her from using it?
Hey, the site looks cleaner. Whatever changes you made seem like a good thing. IMO.
I would have asked here how old she was before she found out putting a bag over her head wouldn’t really keep her from getting pregnant.
