Ron Paul has a woman problem: Time to address it

[LibertyEagle]

how does it feel to have so much hatred and anger in your heart?

Yeah, it's me.

When trying to understand the thought processes of the female voter, just think of a man...and then take away reason and accountability.

And then the post suggesting that women's suffrage should be reconsidered. Apparently, they chose to remove it.

 

[LibertyEagle]

But that isn't really addressing women. You are making an appeal to the general public.

I would agree with your assessment on the whole.

But specifically with women, it is them not us. Think about it. There has been a lot of time for women voters to hear about Gingrich's past. They don't seem to care. You would think that women would support a sensible foreign policy candidate. An OBYGN DOCTOR who has delivered more than 4,000 babies. A man who has been married now for, what, 54/55 years?

They have rejected Dr. Paul's character and message. (that may sound harsh)

It is on them, not us.

You may disagree and that is fine. I am just pointing out what I believe to be the truth.

And it sucks...

Because you do not need to single them out, for the most part. Women know about Gingrich's past. It's just that considering what is going on with our economy and the world, that takes precedence.

I do not think you understand how many women are in this movement. Do you realize I am one?

Yeah, it's me.

Damn LE...read and/or quote my WHOLE FUCKING POST, not just the part that supports your argument!!!. You're worse than CNN.

If the women's suffrage reference is aimed at me, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I've been trying to pull you back from the ledge here...do yourself a favor and grab my hand.

When trying to understand the thought processes of the female voter, just think of a man...and then take away reason and accountability. My gf has literally been in favor of at least every one of the other candidates in the GOP primary at one point or another as she has watched debates, etc. with me throughout the process. Sometimes she changes her mind several times within the same debate. The only candidate she hasn't supported is RP because he doesn't "sound good".

In all fairness, it's hardly a female problem, and I was just joking in my first sentence. I think the overwhelming majority of voters are just like my gf...clueless, gullible followers. They simply do not get it. Don't get me wrong...I love my girl. She, like most Americans, just doesn't get it and lacks the capacity to ever get it. It's a societal problem.

Jack Nicholson, is that you? lolz

Why do most of us guys have trouble respecting a woman and women suffrage? Its like we make them completely equal.... so we don't need to respect them any more? This is not collectivism... there ARE differences between men and women folks (not to the extent Newt would have us believe) but would it kill us guys to view women as equals on a whole and women as individuals with respect and courtesy?

LE is actually one of the more reasonable members. If you start being more respectful, you'll do better in conversations with her (and anyone, really-especially people older than you).

No, I wasn't implying that you said it. Someone else did.

I was joking.

That's all.

The line about women's suffrage was a joke. And it was funny.

 

[The One]

Done.

 

[Ekrub]

I know it's kind of cheesy but pushing the whole ob/gyn thing might work. Doesn't have much to do with his policies (maybe abortion) but it might pull some women voters out. Or scare them, who knows

 

[furface]

Women are normally more worried about security than men. Unfortunately the current MSM and political leadership has successfully push the propaganda that military aggression increases security.

Ron Paul should stress that individual and family security will be increased with his policies. He needs to be better at clarifying exactly why he is the candidate to best increase American security. There needs to be a larger discussion about what true security means, and why the current political status quo is a massive desecuritizing force for Americans.

I actually hang with the Republican soccer mom crowd and I don't think its the war thing that is the biggest problem. A lot of women I know actually have a REALLY big problem with sending their husbands / sons/ brothers over to fight and possibly die for no good reason.

I think its just libertarianism in general. Conservative women are soft on entitlements, and are more likely to want to regulate societal behaviors they see as abhorrent. I have heard comments regarding RP and drugs and prostitution. It makes other women really uncomfortable.

It doesn't help that when you see people at RP's campaign events, none of them look "normal" to a lot of conservative women. Ron Paul hasn't looked "normal" a lot of the time either; but the sweater look is really helping!

study after study say women are more concerned with the existence of a safety net, whether they use it or not, being more likely to head up one parent families and more likely to be one paycheck away from poverty. Address how Ron's plan protects social security and medicare and transfers the safety net to the states, in block grants, before ending the federal administration of it, and you will address the disparate concerns of seniors and women both, measurably. I also think rule of law is a good one, as well.

Ron Paul always looks 'normal' unless you are cherry picking a bad photo when he was in the middle of changing expression.

And 90% of Ron Paul's supporters look 'normal'. With Ron Paul supporters, and NOT with supporters of others, they find the idiocyncratic. That national publication of the Bunny Ranch for example. Are you saying no prostitute in Nevada voted for Romney or Gingrich? (I'll grant you Santorum. But that's because Santorum doesn't play well in independent states, all together.)

Women tend to vote on looks more than men. That's not a sexist statement, it has been proven accurate. in fact all people have a tendency to vote on looks, it takes an effort to look past such things and pay close attention to what matters.

Women Ron Paul voters should take great pride, they are apparently very smart and open minded.

I'm pretty sure there's a bias towards looks in both genders. Remember the Kennedy-Nixon debates? Viewers tended to believe Kennedy won, while radio listeners tended to think Nixon won.

 

[hazek]

Bwahahahahaha OP are you serious? Time to address it? At this point in this election?!


Here's a dose of reality for ya. It's too late. Too late to address this problem or any problem at all. This election was done even before Iowa, it was done even before the Ames straw poll because people still think you can ignore the corporate media propaganda machine and have success.

Yes OP, there is a women's vote problem as much as there's a senior's vote problem, these two problems needed to be addressed like a year ago. And if we did, we'd realized that both problems are mainly caused by propaganda so in order to deal with them we'd had to have developed our own propaganda to combat the status quo propaganda and then found a way other than the corporate media to effectively have spread it. And we needed to do this before we wasted, YES WASTED, +$25 million dollars of donated money, mostly giving it to non other than our biggest enemy - the corporate media.


Thinking about doing something now? You just got to be kidding..

p.s.: Thank you in advance for all the negative reps that I know I'll get by the disillusioned who wont be able to control their emotions reading this dose of reality, I understand you can't help yourself and it's just our human nature..

p.s.2: I and many others told you so.

FWIW, I read something a few years ago that rather conclusively proved that the better looking candidate almost always wins.

How about this part?

"I was just joking in my first sentence."

I was playing off a line Jack Nicholson said in the movie As Good as it Gets.

Haven't we talked about your tendency to take things too seriously?

Women are more socialist that men. We have to show that local government is much for efficient in socialist policies that the federal level.
