One for the ladies

They don't care what he looks like. When he's making logical arguments about economics and government he might as well be speaking Chinese as far as the majority (not all!!) of women are concerned. Most people just don't get it. I mean, when was the last time you saw a commercial for makeup try to make it's case using facts and figures? It doesn't work. They appeal to emotion to make the sale.

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

its genetic women cant help but be attracted to douche bag bad boys like newt.

Ouch that landed squarely in the jaw of some of the local RPF sexist elite.

Haha, I actually had the bigger photo of that included, but I thought they would get the point with 3 pics.

I know. A team with three Ron Paul supporters is too much to handle. Carr, Zbikowski, and a kicker whom's name I will not mention...

I don't think that conclusion could be drawn from what I wrote. If every man was fully logical Ron Paul would be doing a lot better than ~15% among men.

How do you know it was the female vote and not the male vote?

Just look at the polling stats in SC.

Heck, in FL, Ron in at 30% among men (2nd place). Among women - 5% (last place).

I`m afraid a previous poster was right. Most women go after what they perceive as the "alpha male".
Some will look at policies but most will go with the one that looks more "presidential" aka hot stud.

Romney`s known to do very well among women for that very reason and I`m afraid Newt is also catching one because he projected himself as the big macho guy that goes on the offensive and women love a warrior even if he`s all bark no bite type of dog.

 

[pinkmandy]

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.

 

[swissaustrian]

What about bring the troops home, that should be an attractive message?

 

[xFiFtyOnE]

The biggest complaint seems to be that he's too old. This along with the picture with Randy might help but I doubt it.

Newt is 68(will be 69 by the election) and an overweight walking heart attack. If Rons health/age is brought up Newts should be aswell.

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

Give the fairer gender some credit for having brains.

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.

Doesn`t mean there aren`t women such as yourself who look at the issues and are not superficial.

How do you explain though that Paul does poorly among women, while Romney does very well in that category?

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.

Great post.

The challenge with this approach is that it's tough to get all that into a 2 minute debate answer or a 30 second commercial, but I do agree that this could be done in speeches and in town hall gatherings. Then the YouTube videos of those events could be spread far and wide.

I actually believe this approach will work for men and women that haven't been converted to the cause. Most people are looking for someone who can paint a vision for them of how the country would be different if they were president as opposed to just facts and figures and accurate descriptions of what go us into this mess.

I agree.

Also good point, it's not a tactic for the female vote. It will work for both women AND men who haven't converted to the cause.
It's just a good tactic in general.

BULLSEYE!!

This is it. This is the best and most accurate summation I've seen about how to approach people, both women and men, who are uncertain about Dr. Paul. The changes the can happen with Dr. Paul in office need to be made personal to people. When something is personal, it becomes much more real.

Pinkmandy, I hope the campaign hires you this very minute.
