The Vanishing Male Voter

You have bad-mouthed the male (especially white) to the point where either he has lost confidence or could not care less. This is all to the detriment of the female, who does not want to marry a weak male. What ever happened to the children of the 60 generation feminists- I thought they were going to bring up a generation of sensitive progressive males.

Guess what! you raised boys who will remain boys the rest of their lives. Good luck. Thank God for strong caring men especially the GREATEST generation

I think that once mail-in early voting becomes the norm across the country, voter participation will go way up. I, my wife, and my entire immediate family all voted early by mail-in ballots (despite the best efforts of the state Republican party to stop it in Ohio).

Men tend to be practical, perhaps efficient would be a better word. There haven't been many elections in the our lifetime that mattered much. Even with the huge contrast in personality and beliefs between Obama and McCain, is it true that one of them will preside over a different world than the other? We talk about the president like he is a medieval king. 'Bush has ruined America..." Really? Has he ruled by decree? We have a balance of powers, designed to diminish extreme views and actions. So the extreme views of a president can't really set the course of the nation without being tempered and approved by Congress and the Supreme Court. I think most men, especially older men, see this reality. The highest suicide rate in America is among men 50 and older. That depression and despair is coming from a society that feels free to attack older men as oppressors. Why would these men risk expressing their opinion when it's going to be met with hostility? What will they get out of it? While I can understand the self preservation of my peers, I'll be voting for John McCain because I believe him, and I'll be telling anyone who will listen that Barack Obama is not who he says he is.
