My meetup has just as many women as men. I see just as many women with signs as men. Look at all the Utube clips.....just as many women.....I don't buy this crap for one second!

Women also helped to decide this GOP election, here is how the women votes broke down.

* Huckabee - 40%
* Romney - 24%
* McCain - 13%
* Thompson - 10%
* Paul - 8%

Actually I was wrong. Only 8%!!!!

This is misleading, he did not do that poorly with women.
He got 12% of men and 8% of women, 10% overall.
Really that's not a big deal, although I'm well-aware of the liberty message being much more broadly accepted by males.

quickmike is correct. Think about it. Women are genetically programmed to nest and nurture. They want security.

They fall for the false promises of security that the enemies of liberty are so quick to offer them.

This is the correct answer.

 

[stefans]

we got 10% of evangelicals and born-agains. that's interesting.

i could give you an explanation, but 5 women on this board will jump up and argue with everything and say

it can't be true because it doesn't apply to them and besides their meetup group is all female

.

it is what it is, it's confirmed by the zogby polls. if you go to a libertarian convention you will find no need for feminine hygiene products. seriously, if you want female voters, Obama is your man.

 

[crink]

Well if this is true Ron Paul may have no choice but to pick a female VP, like Sarah Palin.

This is actually a great idea. If there is ever problems with the female vote in the future i think this is an awesome idea.

 

[quickmike]

Women are liberal, always were, it's a norm.

Well, not ALL of them are obviously, but its definitely the trend. Like Msdoodahs said, they fall for the promises of security made to them by the enemies of liberty.

My mother is one of the few "tough broads" that is voting for Ron and has donated the max to his campaign, but of course she had to deal with me and my brother at each others throats when we were kids because dad was always on business trips, so shes pretty tough and understands having to deal with things on your own sometimes.

ROFL!!! I love the way men think they know what women want!!

 

[Goldwater Conservative]

Women tend to be economically populist, even among Republicans and self-described "conservatives," hence Huckleberry's results. If we had more time and even money, I'd say there should be a concerted effort to philosophically sway female primary voters. We definitely must make this a top priority for the general election.

Carole,

I am not going to be politically correct so going to say what I think. Women especially have been sold on the socialist agenda, women are more emotional beings and the propaganda has tugged at their heart strings. There is also a growing number of single mothers who are struggling and are looking to the gov't for the answer and for help.

You and I are women, so obviously there are women out there who are aware of the brainwashing and know what socialism is really about. Lots of women don't understand and are looking for the nanny state in one way or another. The brainwashing is everywhere, from the schools/colleges to the media. "The children, the children!" "People are without health care!" "Ron Paul would leave people on the streets"

If they only knew. The only way to change this is through education and that is difficult to do quickly. They don't realize that getting back to a true free market would change things because the propaganda going around is capitalism (should be corporatism) is evil, etc. They aren't really aware of the monopoly in health care for example, or that one of the reasons health care costs are so expensive is because of socialist programs like Medicare.

Education is the key, and ads/information pertaining to this is the ticket to getting more of the female vote. Also, he wants to end the Roe vs Wade law the SC created, as if that is their right to make a law in the first place. He wants things to return to the state and local levels. Some women won't vote for him on this issue alone. They would vote for Stalin over RP, as you can see we have plenty of people out there that would vote for Stalin or Hitler before voting for the honest and worthwhile candidate.

 

[Molly1]

The women I talk to love his message--once they understand it.

Don't worry about women, we aren't buying Hilary's free pre-K in return for 100 years of war.

We raise 'em up for free to go to war and die.

 

[r3volution]

strippers & hookers like Ron , thats all i need to know ..

 

[Laja]

They go for the one's that are more "handsome".

I don't believe that. Most women naturally are social creatures and they like to help people in need. Social programs are supported by many women, as a result. The Ron Paul Republican message doesn't speak to their hearts. Also, many don't know what incredible danger this country is in thanks to the propaganda machine of the Old Media.

I'm one of those former Democrats who realizes our peril and therefore can find Dr. Paul's message to be the perfect antidote to the problem. Women, as a rule, don't like men telling them what they can or can't do with their bodies. Therefore, just the thought of repealing Roe v. Wade after all the years it took to gain this freedom, is too much to bear for many women. They say that leaving it up to the states will be a disaster.

For what it's worth...

Women's vote not going to Dr. Paul.

I find this a real problem. Why is this happening?

Are they afraid of his message? Not aware? Do not understand it?

Do not know him?

Anyone have any thoughts and how to fix it?

I think it has something to do with Dr. Paul being pro-life. Not saying it is right or wrong, but the women I've spoken with cite that as their primary cause for concern. They seemed unwilling to accept Dr. Paul's statement that despite his personal views, it is not the president's job to dictate to the states what they can and cannot do.

 

[Sandy]

Oops, forgot about the security issue, too.

 

[hawks4ronpaul]

Explain how liberty IS security.

Use my site for security moms.

Women, as a rule, don't like men telling them what they can or can't do with their bodies.

Then show them a picture of the Roe Supreme Court justices.

I imagine the abortion issue is more of a problem for getting first-time voters or swaying independents in open primaries. Within the GOP, everybody but Julie is running pro-life.

 

[Antonius Stone]

i think the abortion issue should only be a problem for liberal women in red states

liberal women in blue states (probably) won't care as much because even if roe gets reversed their abortion rights arent going anywhere. CA and NY will NEVER have state abortion bans.

also, tell those women who are voting on the abortion issue that it would be cheaper, more affordable and more efficient to have private charities help pregnant women in Red States get extradited to blue states for the purpose of getting an abortion rather than TAXING THE PEOPLE to enforce Roe V. Wade

then ask them if they'd rather vote with their money (donate to a charity) for preserving women's rights or pay income taxes to an increasingly corrupt federal government
