Okay I am a 47 year old woman (former special education teacher), divorced, with a family. I have been a born-again Christian for 27 years. I read and study my bible regularly. I am for Ron Paul all the way! I was a registered democrat since 1988, and when I heard about Ron Paul last month. I changed parties so that I can vote for him in the primaries.
Not all of us women are mad-dog radical feminist women's libbers.
Why do women like Ron Paul:
+ Ron Paul is anti-abortion and pro-family - I switched parties on this one issue alone - all of the Democrats are abortionists. I voted my conscience in previous elections in favor of which ever candidate was anti-abortion.
+ Ron Paul does not like what public education does to our children, he wants to get rid of the Department of Education and give control of the schools back to the local districts. From my experience Public Schools are corrupt from the top in Washington DC all the way to the bottom, at the state and local levels. All that Federal Funding has been misused, misappropriated, abused in every way fashionable. Special Education funding is quite often redirected into other funds and very little of it, if any ever goes to the actual students who need it. NEA wants to teach our children against our personal values - ever since the 10 commandments were removed from public schools our country has gone into decline. The schools feel that THEY, not the parents, know what is best for our children, and they are turning our institutions of learning into indoctrination centers - kids are graduating from high school completely illiterate of the way Democracy is supposed to work, no knowledge of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of government, etc. but just ask a teen about global warming and you will get an earful! I would like to see our schools go back to local control, where school children could walk to school and were not bussed for 30 miles to other schools. Have you seen any of the new schools being built these days?? - they look for all the world like maximum security prisons with high walls and no windows!!! No wonder the school shootings have become so rampant - the very methods of the indoctrination centers create this hostile atmoshpere. You not only have to protect the school children from outside koo-koos, but you also have to protect them from each other. I think these incidents are the symptoms of a much more serious social malady.
+ Ron Paul is pro-homeschoolers (I did not home school my children but if I had it to do all over again, I would!)
+ Ron Paul voted against mandatory mental health screening for children - far too many average, ordinary, energetic children are "diagnosed" with ADHD and then drugged out of their minds with Ritalin and the other hyper-active drugs - and the "blowback" from that line of reasoning is we have created a nation of prescription drug addicts.
+ Ron Paul is against illegal immigration and funding any welfare programs to give to illegal immigrants. This is a BIG issue with me - I want my children to have access to health care, but because I am one of the working poor I do not have health insurance I can't afford it, and I do not qualify for any of the state insurance programs . So my children do without healthcare. Illegal immigrants however, have all of the healthcare they could possibly want. It is difficult to watch them give taxpayer dollars - MY MONEY! - while my children do without. I live in Flroida and illegal immigrants rob, rape, murder, and kidnap our children off the bus stops - because they are criminals and they know they will merely be deported if they get caught.
I want to get rid of all the Sanctuary Cities, and I want the current Immigration Laws ENFORCED, and I want the fences at the borders just like congress voted for and appropriated the funds for. If I had my way we would have a Great Wall of China built across the borders, complete with a moat and filled with Florida Alligators to prevent crossing.
Any issues that promote family, family values, and prevents the government from snatching our children away from us as soon as they are potty trained and indoctrinating them with the socialist liberal democratic values will appeal to women.
Hillary Clinton scares me to death! She wants to make preschool mandatory. She wants the state to raise my grandchildren! I see that as nothing short of Hitler Youth Corps - get them while they are young and impressionable and then you can rule the world.
When I was a child we were raised to think for ourselves. Our Social Studies Classes taught us about why our country is so important and why we should value the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We learned the democratic process at an early age. We said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning and we MEANT it!
Women of America are mad as hell and we aren't going to take it any more! We want our children back! We want our families back! We want our life back, we want our liberty and the pursuit of happiness back! We want to build a brighter future for our grandchildren! We want to feel safe again!
Another reason women want to vote for Dr. Paul is that he is quite handsome - he reminds me of Fraiser Crane's dad. He is smart, he is intelligent, he has a great sense of humor, and I think he should be embraced as one of the wisest and most respectable men in our country at this time.
