Women's vote not going to Dr. Paul

[Carole]

I have seen over the months some breakdowns-can't remember where that showed low support from women and thre to four times support from men.

The Iowa caucus breakdown seemed to show this also.

 

[Carole]

OKay, maybe I am mistaken about Iowa, but definitely have seen it somewhere.

Was that consistent in Iowa counties or did it not vary across the counties?

Glad to hear that and it always looks that way in the You Tubes.

Maybe women will prove me totally wrong. I really hope so.

In an Iowa entrance poll, Ron got 8% of the women to vote for him and 11% of the men, not terribly lopsided.

Also note that the "hunk" Romney got 2% less women then men voting for him.

 

[Carole]

Yes, been there, done that.

Maybe that is a part of it. Women who have had to be responsible from and eraly age.

No way to tell though. Silly women's lib did not help.

Just something to ponder...

Why did women want to vote? Maybe, they NEEDED to vote. Why?

Because us MEN let them down. We did not live up to our responsibilities in providing for and defending the woman and the families. We as a group should have castigated any man that didn't live up to his duties. We didn't, thus, we had the woman suffrage movement.

Sorry fellows, but it was our fault. Had we Taken better care of women, they would be content, happy, and still living longer than men. -- Those days are over. Now all we can do is relay the freedom message and hope it takes hold.

Point one: It is IMPOSSIBLE for the government to protect you from rapists, thieves, murderers, or terrorists.

Point two: You must protect yourselves.

Point three: So get fire-arms training.

Point four: then defend the constitution and your rights to protect yourself.

Point five: Vote for Ron Paul and he will help you with point four.


Any help with domestic issues can be had at the state level, so petition them with those concerns.

Got to humor them Deborah.

 

[Carole]

Thanks Goldwater. I agree with you.

Wonder if anyone at HQ is looking at these things at all. I certainly would be.

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.

Thanks Sandy.

I know you are right about a lot of that. Now that I think about it. We have all of us grown up in the same status quo America for years and years. I could never understand why Americans did not change it. For years I did not have the answers.

I guess I was too busy struggling myself. Still I thought about it a lot. I was frustrated and still am by all of it. I have waited forty years for this candidate. It is very important to me, but you are on the mark that many women might fail to see things as some of us do. Well, guys too, fail to see it and unless it is a high percentage of two income families (so many broken ones), I can understand why men would get it before women would get it, especially for the poinats you made.

 

[Carole]

That is encouraging.

[Carole]

So they just do not buy States rights as being on their side. Interesting.

 

[JAlli41]

these are emotional voters... ETHOS WINS!!!

 

[Carole]

At least it should for some, plus the leave it to the states to decide explanation if they are still doubtful.

Carole,

I first noticed the discrepancy in women vs. men supporters on opensecrets.org and I also believe it's due to stereotypical female concerns of caretaking. This is an area that needs to be addressed for all the right reasons.

So this is sort of a bump for all the women out there--let's brainstorm how to talk to the soccer moms of the world. That certainly helped Clinton when Naomi Wolf did that for him.

 

[Carole]

We need to find a way to convince women we will be more secure with our protectors here at home. So many have bought into the "terror" sale around the mideast and the world, they fail to see the simple reason people hate us--for intrusions into those countries.

 

[Carole]

Thanks everyone. You have given me a lot to consider and think about.

We need to find a way to convince women we will be more secure with our protectors here at home. .

There is a marriage gap. Maybe half of married women look outside the house to government for security but large majorities of single/divorced women look to government for security.*
