steve is no more than a jackass , plain and simple , he can not stick to subject , must insult everyone that doesn't see the world as he does . That's fine , I prefer to keep him out there so everyone can see the pinhead he is .
I did work over 2 months in Barrow Alaska , no alcahol then , the eskimos couldn't handle it , to much violence , last time there , no sales there , but it was allowed . I think steves 14 years in Madison ( as he likes to point out along with his MA ) he had a little to much abuse , or exposure to progressives that live in that area .
Bill , on the left , guys will be guys , on the right we have men that will be men .

“Hunter, the men you named are hardly the "left" Liberals, yes but not the real left.”
Well they are. But not the “real left”.
Hunter if you say a man is dead Steve will say the man is not real dead.
Some live in that own world Hunter. For laughs check out his link.
Hunter you need to move to Alaska were they have the highest domestic violence. Naturally Steve’s comeback will be is Sarah’s fault. Has nothing to do with the long nights, etc…
Steve is but a insult machine. Willing to make up facts to further his cause. There should be more remarks on here but Steve must insult and get remarks erased.
I hope you to report Stevie's abusive remarks.

Guys will be guys, Hunter. Being from Wisconsin, one of the most sexist states in the union, you should know. I lived there for fourteen years and I think they set the national record for annual domestic abuse cases per capita. Perhaps it's just the abnormal levels of alcohol consumption. I'd sure hate to think it was the old world Germanic culture that was responsible (kinder, kuche, kirche). Real good schnitzel, though!!

I guess Bill Clinton wasn't sexist , Ted Kennedy wasn't sexist , Elliot Spitzer wasn't sexist , John Edwards wasn't sexist , Gary Condit wasn't sexist , and I guess you're not a usefull idiot .
Woody Allen might not use violence , but he sure used the younger ones .
You shill .

At the end of the day, only the left is truly feminist. All others are sexist.

Utah passed Women's Suffrage on February 10, 1869, Signed by Governor February 12, 1869. Sarah Young, grandniece of Brigham Young was the first woman to vote February 14, 1869.
Wyoming Governor Signed Women's Suffrage December 10, 1869. When Wyoming becomes a state in 1890, women still had the right to vote.
Colorado is the first state to adopt an amendment to the state constitution enfranchising women, the second state to grant the right to vote in 1893.
Congratulations to the WEST!

Not that being first is necessarily THAT big a deal, but since this post actually chooses to make a point of it, it seems worth noting that the post itself concedes that Wyoming (where women could already vote) became a state in 1890. Therefore, there were roughly three years where women in the STATE of Wyoming could vote before the state of Colorado followed suit. Incidentally, even if it was JUST a territory, giving women the vote as early as 1869 makes Wyoming totally phenomenal. I understand the distinction between a legislative action and a referendum being responsible for the change, but it seems likely that a referendum in Colorado in 1893 would have less chance to pass if supporters weren't able to point out that women had been voting in Wyoming for almost 25 years without the sky falling or anything. In any event, it's definitely interesting to note that in this arena the West was ahead of the game.
