Women outnumber men in America... is this the reason we have become the political?

Are the politico's afraid of losing control of the power? I mean, what better way to retain power than to strip power from the growing group who outnumbers you.

Maybe. We already know they're afraid of whites becoming the minority race. tanyev Feb 2012 #2

But, I think even if women didn't outnumber men that this would be happening. But, it might be why there is such a frenzy for the baggers and thugs to make sure that while they do have some power they strip of us as many rights as they can.

I think it's fear of minorities becoming the majority, and this is a last-ditch power grab ...
Other than that, isn't this shit normally just wedge issue shit pre-election time?

Every time I write my congresscritters, I end it with *OCCUPY...Coming to a city near you--Spring 2012.*
This contraception/Virginia bullshit will just bring us out in bigger numbers. I hope they shit their pants.

Pardon all my shit-isms. I'm just feeling really shitty these days.

Just one woman's opinion.
