A lot of folks, both men and women in this country, are just STILL ASLEEP.

True

I posted the pool picture months ago on my fb and got some of my non-political female friends oohing and aahing over it.

The war issue really hits home with women. That is where I usually begin. This usually seals it:

"Do you know any 2nd or 3rd graders in your family? Well, you know, we've been at war for ten years now. They have never known a day in their life where our nation has not been at war. I think it'd be beautiful for them to wake up and have their nation at peace."

If you want to attract female voters then listen to the female perspectives from female posters. Surely that's more logical than making assumptions and guessing? We're right here you know.

You guys are different, obviously.

Ha, ha.
Yes, I think if you keep accusing women of not being logical, perhaps you should try some logic yourself.

So I should start. There are a few demographic voting patterns with Ron Paul.
1> Young support him more than old.
I think we have some good answers for that. The young are more likely to get news from the internet. The young have not already made up their minds and were willing to listen to a brand new idea. The young are more idealistic.
2> Poor support him more than rich.
This is a little odd until you realize that age correlates highly with wealth. Young people just don't have much money.
3> Men support him more than women.
.........ok, what's the answer? What's different between men and women that causes this?

we just went over that kinda. IMO I think people in general are programmed to be attracted to high status and popular things, good looking and strong and women in particular respond to this for primitive reasons. Since RP is a man and is falsely portrayed in the media as unpopular and weak naturally lower functioning women who cant get past their own wiring gravitate away from RP and toward the more primitive candidates respectively. So they never really get to hear his message and consider it unless they get to hear about him in a supportive environment.

In circles where Ron is regarded in the highest status such as colleges, even the youngest most fertile of females are attracted to Ron with rock star intensity. He approaches the level of deity. Perception is everything.

Once they are attracted I think they listen long enough and in that environment they are able to receive his message and then after that its all about the message and not about Ron Paul anymore, he is more the messenger.

LOL@ a comment on the original article: "Looks like Newt was catching."

 

[sailingaway]

this right here falken truth. its genetic women cant help but be attracted to douche bag bad boys like newt. They must over ride that and use logic. I know im expecting a lot but otherwise all we can hope is that they stay home on election day. Yes it is genetic. Does newt have any kids by the way?

Females don't like Newt according to polls, at least so I've read. I haven't waded through his cross tabs.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Here's an idea, fellas: let's listen to what women have to say when we're talking to them, instead of telling them what we think they'd like to hear.

not a good idea, watch what they do not what what they say. You go by what they say you will be chasing your own tail while they laugh at you. hahaaha anyway. good times.

Please pay attention to what this woman is saying.

Women are not an alien lifeform who sit around crying and watching make up commercials and reading recipes. They are human beings who care about the same things as everyone else. A lot of folks, both men and women in this country, are just STILL ASLEEP.

Someone posted this video awhile back and it didn't get the attention I felt it deserved.
Freedom is popular.

We know that apathy and the mainstream media are our biggest enemy.
Many people just aren't interested because they think all of these politicans are the same.
So they don't get all into it, they don't sit around in the internet and do the actual research.
If you aren't researching Ron Paul on the internet, then you will know NOTHING about the man.
THAT is our problem.
Folks listen briefly to the news and let others do their thinking for them.
Apathy + lamestream media = DISASTER.

Videos like this need to go VIRAL.
We need more of them.
Please send this video around.





Also, just found this May Palmer video. She posted her songs here a few days back and I was searching for more videos of her. I love her songs!
Anyway found this. Don't think it's been posted.

I actually agree with you that most people think all politicians are the same. About 7-8 years ago I remember telling people there is no difference between democrats and republicans, they are still going to put in place the same bs policies and have no clue how to run a government or business. I felt this way until 2008 when I saw a few minutes of a republican debate that my dad had on. When I saw Ron Paul speak, I was like "who is this guy who making all this sense?". Ever since then I paid more and more attention to Ron Paul. If we could somehow get the whole country to watch one debate I'm sure Ron Paul's numbers would go up dramatically.

Truth of the matter is I`ve heard plenty of women saying they`ll vote for X candidate because of looks. It really is a factor.
There`s also the negative side if you will, meaning I`ve also heard women saying they won`t vote for X candidate because of looks.

Now this doesn`t mean females are more shallow than men. I`ve heard plenty of men saying they won`t consider Paul because he doesn`t look "presidential" and who knows how would most men behave if we were to have 4 republican women candidates. Wouldn`t you be attracted as man to the youngest and prettiest female if that were to be the case? On the negative side, wouldn`t you be turned off by a 76 old woman?

Of course such line of thinking is bit superficial but I`m afraid it applies to a huge % of voters who are less informed about politics and the issues and just occasionally watch some politics and debates, same as they`re watching American Idol. People like us who post on these forums form a minority.

Every being with a penis automatically understand logical arguments about economics and government?

Do you have proof all them four have a penis?
Picture or I don't believe it...

 

[RonPaulMyPresident]

Is this why America still hasn't had a woman President when even 3rd world countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia have had women Presidents/Prime Ministers.

Come on ladies look at the candidates' principles not their looks.

I`m afraid the ladies you`re talking to don`t read this forum. Ones that did read your post are already Paul fans.

It is unlikely that Sarah Palin would have anything like her current popularity if she were unattractive.

This is true for most imo. I agree. Women (not all, of course) are more likely to rely on emotions. Appealing to women means relating to the issues that they deal with on a daily basis and translating Paul's message into something they can relate to easier. Grocery bills. Costs of health insurance. College tuition. Crime. Education. Opportunities for their kids. Aging parents and caring for them. It is women (mostly) who are handling these things/issues in their households and lives. The answers are simple, Ron Paul has them, but they just aren't broken down in a way that most women "relate" to imo. We have to make it personal for them.

Example: The racist drug war fuels violence and furthers the police state.

True statement. We all get it. But if you want most women to care about that statement, to relate to it, then it needs to become more detailed and personal.

Points that hit home to women-

How many young people try pot? How many young people, college students, are in prison for this? Do you think your child should ever go to prison for trying pot? How many mothers are dealing with this right now? Where are their interviews? How many sick people are in prison? How many children are growing up, right now, on the streets without their fathers? How many are children are killed by gangs which exist because of the black market on drugs? Are people with cancer sitting behind bars for trying to increase their appetite by using pot? How many lives have been ruined? Show pictures. Give details.

Or look at the Dept of Education. Paul wants to eliminate it. We all get that and what it means. But it needs to be expounded upon, showing the mismanagement of education, the waste of money, the kids who fall through the cracks...pictures, details, personal stories, more details...and this one must be handled w/care, without coming off as attacking teachers.

This is a great post. Do you have a blog? You should write a longer piece on this subject.

Female here...I do not vote on looks, attire, or buttock firmness.

Give the fairer gender some credit for having brains.

I do, thats why Ron has my vote.
