I said, "Please furnish a list of all who have EVEN RUN for office".

Is it at all possible there have been very near none that wanted the office enough to run & were willing to uphold the laws & constitution of our land?

Yes, and what a miserable failure that was. The 15th amendment just gave us two terms of a Ted Bundy wannabe.

Exactly how do you get around the fact that women couldn't even VOTE until 1920?

You cannot argue with the historical record of the treatment of women in this country


I won't try to. But as long as they are no longer treated that way and were never treated that way by me why should it be relevant to me now?

Nor any other country.... Universal suffrage has been slow to come to many nations.

But then again, when I hear some of your political ideas about big government and the balkans, I have to wonder if maybe women's suffrage was a bit premature....
