You do know don't you that neither Bill Clinton nor Barack Obama would have won election without the large percentage of the womens vote.
Adolph Hitler came to power in 1934? by receiving a large vote from women, shortly after women had gotten the right to vote in Germany.

It might have been Carl Sagan who once pointed out, "Before women got the vote, there were no nuclear weapons."
Sharper Iron?... Nah, too easy.
Ann Coulter used this argument to justify her claim that women shouldn't be allowed to vote (well, the first part, anyway)... apparently (according to her) in all elections since 1960, except 1964, the majority of the male vote went Republican and the majority of the female vote went Democratic.
... Adolph Hitler came to power by having his 'people' try to burn down the Reichstag, and blaming Communists. Her never received enough votes to win a majority of the parliament, and was granted emergency powers.
Regarding Hitler:
1933 , get your facts straight - and that's 14 years after women got the right to vote, not "shortly after".
And even then he only got a plurality and not a majority of seats - the one who put him into power was President Hindenburg in the mistaken belief he could be reigned in by more moderate members of the cabinet.
Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan. Two of the worst American Presidents, all voted in office before women got the right to vote. Both are voted time again in the bottom 3.
Hitler came to power through manipulation, as well as a plan that pretty successfully stimulated the German economy, at the expense of the Jews.
Besides, to claim that the women's vote caused the Holocaust is faulty and irresponsible inference.
E. A. Poe the FSTDT commentator has given me permission to use his characters and continue with his totally irrelevant anecdotes. The Raven's not in this one.
Alone in the forest clearing the sparrow Marlow jumped to conclusions. He was observed from the topmost branches of a larch, where she kept quite still, by Irene Turner-Cartwright the imperturbable daw. "Caw!", she parachuted down to the forest floor having tired of her concealed spying. "What are you doing Marlow, starting and jumping about like an electrified cat? Normally, you're quite a chipper and purposeful little bird." "I'm jumping to conclusions", replied Marlow. "Oh! Where are they then? I can't see any conclusions", said the puzzled Jackdaw. "They're invisible", said the sparrow Marlow. (cont. page 94)
I though Clinton, Obama and Hitler were all appointed by God? Romans 13:1, "The authorities that exist have been established by God."
Surely, you're not disagreeing with his choices, Tom?
"Adolph Hitler came to power in 1934? by receiving a large vote from women, shortly after women had gotten the right to vote in Germany. "
Whereas George Bush came to power after losing an election. So Bush is worse than Hitler.
"Adolph Hitler came to power in 1934? by receiving a large vote from women, shortly after women had gotten the right to vote in Germany."
Lol, I don;t know what history class you took or what documentaries you've been watching. The Nazi's were not voted into power. In fact, by the time Hitler became Chancellor the Nazi vote had dropped dramatically.
Look up the name " Franz von Papen", assclown.
Edit: 5 seconds on google looking how to spell "Papen" found me this lovely link:

But if you don't already know how Hitler came to power you went to a shitty, shitty school and need to watch the history channel more.
"You do know don't you that neither Bill Clinton nor Barack Obama would have won election without the large percentage of the womens vote"
So? You only expose yourself as a misogynist. And an enemy of democracy. Thus your fascism. The Womens Suffrage Movement WON. The Allies beat Hitler in WWII. Democracy WON. Live with it.
Obama is president now. Democracy WON. Live with it.
Got a [CITATION] for that?
***EDIT***
@God -- I fixed it for you:image
@Old Viking -- You're right, the German spelling was "Adolf", with an "F".
Historically innacurate. Hitler came to power in 1933, when he was appointed chancellor by President of the Weimar Republic Paul von Hindenburg. The next year, in 1934, Hitler made himself fuhrer. He never won an election in his life, and ascended to power only through popularity and Hindenburg's appointment.
Confused?
