A ballot measure in Montana that would require an equal number of men and women to serve in the state Legislature is a step closer to getting on the November ballot.

I wonder if this law specifies outcomes of genetic test results that determine M or F?

Neither is a federal court forcing gay marriage on a state

[GeronL]

These women are bred in schools and colleges and media

[ExCTCitizen]

Soon you will see quota for gays, pedophiles, adult babies, Communists, and Socialists in.the Montana house.

[pfflier]

Well, they could include all the freaks that are LGBT and afford equal slots for each perversion.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Lots of lefties in Montana

Yep. Ted Turner, Robert Redford, David Letterman, all own acreage there. Missoula has been absolutely overrun with Bay Area types.

How is this even close to constitutional?

It's not.

[Lurking Libertarian]

So in District 5 a majority votes for Joe Shmo who gets 55% but Betty Hoe who got 43% wins because fewer women won in other districts. That ought to do down well in Disrict 5.

If this passed (and it won't), and if it were held constitutional (which it won't), it wouldn't go down like that.

In New York State, the Republican State Committee was at one time composed of equal numbers of men and women. (I don't know if it still is.) The way it worked was that the state was divided into half as many districts as there were committee members; in the primary election (where party committees were elected), each district had a male-designated seat and a female-designated seat, and you voted for one "committeeman" and one "committeewoman."

[Lurking Libertarian]

It looks like the New York GOP still has that system.

Feminazii, usually kill off their unborn spawn, or their partners reject their responsibility, and the children end up with their more conservative grandparents.. Liberalism is a dying breed, I’m suggesting we men expedite it by avoiding them.. I already started..

[GeronL]

they do not need to breed when they can corrupt other peoples kids

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Yep! Montana! Where men are men and sheep are nervous!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Lots of lefties in Montana I mean look at their senators

Lots of folks moving to Montana from Kalifornia and bringing their leftist ways!

[Talisker]

Thanks to Progressives, this is a meaningless effort in an era when a person can legally become a black just by claiming he/she is black, or can legally become a female just by claiming he/she/it is a female.

Don't you see? That's the solution. When the quota of elected men is filled, the rest of the men simply "gender identify" as women, and get elected that way. Liberals can't do a thing about it.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Wonder if they will have a slot for an old, fat millhunky.....I might move to Montana and raise me up some dental floss yet.

[Secret Agent Man]

gay. this isn’t constitutional. no quota system is. let people vote for’the person, not what’s in the person’s pants.

dems and commies happy they succeeded in pt teaching real history of this nation to kids, who now know nothing real about politics, isms, and the dangers associated with certain belief systems.

[terycarl]

another way to weaken our government...don’t elect the most capable,pick them by gender.........result Shiela Jackson Lee
