No, it's probably Romney who wears the same underwear...just saying

I don't think any of the others would be willing to halt Title IV D funding for instance, too much money for states, judge friends, and lawyer friends to make. But that point would not be a good sell in trying to gain the women's vote (at least from divorced women).

Most women, fundamentally want safety and security above all and are much less prone to risk taking then men are. Liberty is perceived risk and would make people that favor security uncomfortable without a certain restraint on liberty.

^ I'm a woman and I find the Giuliani-ish "security above all else" BS infuriating. I want liberty for my future children - and being illegally spied on, arrested and thrown in prison for victimless crimes, sexually assaulted with the government's sanctioning via the TSA, etc means that you are NOT SAFE.

If so many women are concerned about safety, we should be hammering in these points....that the most dangerous threat to your safety of all is when your government manipulates you to justify growing its power, then tries to forcibly render you helpless and rob you of your rights.

The support for Dr. Paul is so sparse among women, and so drastically lower than that found among men, it would be worth spending some of the money we collect on a top flight polling group to do detailed and intensive focus groups on this subject. I don't have a clue about the answer but this is a puzzle that must be solved, and soon!

I don’t think that abortion matters to a lot of the women that would be inclined to vote for Ron Paul; for one thing, we are talking about Republican primary voters; furthermore, women, according to most polls, are more anti-abortion than men.

Ron Paul would probably get more support from women voters in primaries if he did talk about homeschooling, abortion, sex education, and vaccinations for school attendance. He would probably get more support from conservative Christian parents if they really understood and knew that Ron Paul/similar candidates supported their right to raise their children how they see fit; I think too many people equate libertarian with libertine. I think it is important to target the right demographic groups if paleoconservative/libertarian candidates are going to have a chance; the best chance to capture a large group of male and female voters to begin working to divorce the Christian right from militaristic candidates.

Still think this is our best outreach for women voters:

I'm planning on printing them off and handing them out at a couple of the fairs I'm planning on doing around here. Also trying to promote it to republican womens groups online.

While that is a great testament to Rep. Paul's character, I think that women are as interested in political ideas and policies as men -- most of the political activities I have been involved with were at least 1/2 female. Rep. Paul, along with similar candidates, shouldn't seek to spin a certain message to trick women to vote for them. Even if that were to get better public officials elected, it wouldn't provide them with broad support for their programs, and that is required if the Constitution is going to be followed again.

Personally, I know of women (very conservative ones too) that would be turned off by a candidate that handed them a letter from his wife while to testify to his worthiness for office.

Agree! I will never understand the mentality of a predominantly female forum I'm in that we should not be able to protect ourselves by owning a gun. They're so against violence against women yet so willingly take abuse from the government. They scream and yell about women's rights and women's choices yet fight to take away women's rights and women's choices through gun control, taxation, a fiat currency, and a government controlled economy. They don't need a man to take care of them, just the government (rolls eyes).

I agree with you; that thread, for the most part, was inappropriate. Posts such as those are a major turn off to someone curious about liberty.

Yea, I hate to resurrect it, but it is a perfect example. Women should always be treated with the utmost respect. Do this, and more women would join the movement. Instead, they are pushed into big goverment and feminist ideologies to "fight back" against disrespectful men.

Change "women" to "people who aren't hopeless, complete, and utter douchebags" and you've got something there

Ron Paul will have to admit that women will be able to fight for safe medical procedures at the state level, and that will cost him with the Christians. A strong stance against abortion from a man is insulting to a lot of women. I have always maintained that every man who ever got pregnant or ran the risk of a pregnancy is invited to the conversation, the rest of the men need to shut up. Just as I will never understand the problems of ED or premature EJ, men will never understand the complexities of bearing children. Safe medical procedures for all, leave your morals at the OR door! I'm trying to offer an insight from a real women who initially tossed Ron Paul from consideration - this was why. I finally realized there were far bigger fish to fry and am now a very vocal proponent, but when a woman looks at traditional issues, this one can be a sticking point.

Howdy Claire. If a woman don't want a child then don't flip the legs in the air. However, if the legs were flipped in the air and a child is now the issue, there was a Man involved in that issue. It is not simply a womans prerogative to make a lone decision when both contributed to the issue. That makes the man responsible as well. In some ways, more so, especially in the external world, as the woman is dealing with the internal.

I don't understand why most people assume that women only think about abortion when deciding which candidate to support. Most people for vote for a candidate whose views they more-or-less support; Three of the last five presidents were anti-abortion, and it probably helped them more than hurt them (especially in the GOP primary).

Rev9,

I agree with your comments. The law inconsistently upholds it too. A man is still required to support a child he didn't want if impregnated a women; if the legal system followed the argument that "it's a women's choice," then there would be no right for a women to take the father to court.

This thread is a further reminder just how far we've come the last four years.

 

[allisonzayne]

All I will say is wow to this thread.

 

[KingRobbStark]

Wait...woman can vote?

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Haven't gone through the thread, but hard pro-life supporters can be very off-putting to women. Frame the issue as one of no federal involvement, and his support with women will grow some.
