Are Republican women gutless?

Republican men are carrying out a full blown war against women, their
reproductive rights, their livelihood and earning power.
I think this IS the biggest issue this election cycle except for continued
welfare for the rich.

Where are those voices from Republican women or are they all Stepford wives?

I think you're idiots if you continue to vote Republican...nothing
the Repubs want to do is actually good for you, of course unless
you're afraid of losing your country club membership in Dallas.

and that is reflected in how they vote. Which is sad. I'm sure there are some of them that may have more liberal views, but are afraid to say what they feel.

I don't understand the complete intellectual disconnect.
Similar to the disconnect between working class people
and what Republicans have done and want to do to them.

These people get up, kiss their wives, pat their kid's heads
and want the same good quality life, water and air we do
but then I lose them...

There are a lot of smart people on both sides, but my brain
can't wrap around their arguments.

Even as they sink into poverty, even as the Plutocracy preys upon them, they continue to worship these Capitalist sociopaths.

Stupid and hateful.

They think it's a good thing to support the Republican war on women because it doesn't apply to them. Either because they think they're "Good girls" or because they think they're special. Which is why Republicans mostly attack poor minority women, rather than middle class white ones. (Though lately they've been crossing even that line.)

They think they'll never get raped and need birth control, and that other women should have babies they can't care for even in cases of rape. Combine this with the belief in the well-debunked trickle-down theory, and...VOILA! You get the mindset of the modern Republican female.

knocked-up daughters to a foreign country for a little 'vacation,' where the inconvenient fetus is dealt with in an upscale clinic that has sprung up to serve wealthy patrons.

They KNOW they'll have an out if anything happens in THEIR family -- the fact that YOU won't be able to do that with your raped daughter means absolutely nothing to them. If they think about it at all, it will be to think that you should have worked harder and had the money for the abortion, but you're obviously just lazy.

You think there is so much voter fraud in this country?
Did you have problem when the Supremes voted to stop the
election counting in Florida because it might hurt Dubya?
Did you have a problem with votes thrown out in Ohio, Florida
and vote padding in California and other states?
Do you have a problem with laws enacted that require
voters to know have photo ID's? Do you know a passport
takes up to 6 weeks to get in the mail?
Who knows how long it takes to get a driver's license,
and you have to drive a car and take a test too for that.

I've never agreed with you but I think you have some
brains in there...what the fuck is going on with your
ability to reason?

The only way Republicans win votes is to cheat.
Unless Dems watch every single district...they will
continue to take office

For the most part, most are comfortable; and, very little bad has ever happened to them.
They do not want to lose that comfort zone; and, they do not want to think about those who are uncomfortable ( those who are poor or in difficult situations.
Basically, they live sheltered lives with little knowledge of life out side their comfort zone.
