My wife agreed to vote exactly as I tell her.  She's rewarded with a new pair of shoes.  Win-win.

Hardly. You're out the cost of a pair of shoes for no appreciable gain.

Well put. Next time take her to the Salvation Army for shoes. They're already broke in.

I firmly believe women should vote, as long as they have a strong male hand to guide them and inform them for whom they should vote.  That way, right thinking men get two votes.

My wife agreed to vote exactly as I tell her.  She's rewarded with a new pair of shoes.  Win-win.

In the recent Alberta election my wife and I marched down to the polling station and promptly cancelled out each other's votes. :)

I didn't mind - I was conflicted anyways, and it was the first time we've ever voted against each other.  Normally I can convince her - without needing shoes (which she is uninterested in).

I just hope she doesn't read this.   :ph34r:

:hmm:  One PC, one Wildrose?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

My wife isn't stupid enough to vote NDP. :rolleyes:

Habbaku had it right. :)

Didn't realize you were mentally unhinged enough to vote Wildrose.

Don't make me show you just how unhinged I am! :grr:

My beautiful wife grew up in a town of 100 people.  She is hardly the typical demographic of a Liberal Party voter.  :wub:

In my private life I treat women like gold.

What, you lock them up really well?

Sounds like you have something in common with CdM ...  :D

Never got into that, actually.  I never understood the appeal :mellow:

I assume the "appeal" is in "them not running away, screaming for the cops, and you ending up in jail".  :D

Having my vote count double is worth more than a pair of shoes to me.  Not so much for local elections since my area is a GOP stronghold, but for Governor, Senate, and Presidential elections, which for Ohio are very much in play.

It frightens me to think that there actually are women out there like that. :(

And probably more than I can bare to think about at all.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

If Spiess wants to pay me fifty bucks, he can have my vote too.  :)
