Women are voting Rethuglican this year. Really? Women???

That was the lead newz blurb on GEM$NBC this morning.

Rethuglicans have your best interests at heart? Say again?

http://my.auburnjournal.com/detail/163409.html

These candidates are going to protect your right to choose, your equal pay, your child's insurance coverage? Really?

I'd be more concerned that they are going to allow women to go to school, to go out in public unaccompanied, to drive, you know, things like that.

2. i certainly am not voting for these people. but some women believe

they are subservient to men. and i guess not everyone sees the issues the same way. i can't understand it myself, but that is how it is. i heard last night that andrew cuomo took a pledge yesterday not to lift a finger to help the islamic center 'near ground zero' as the news said. uggh. disgust. i will vote for him, but the lesser of two evil choices is getting tiresome.

5. I don't know the context of Cuomo's pledge, but ...

"The Government" should not lift a finger to help any Islamic center, Christian church, synagogue, temple, ashram, seminary, etc.

Just treat them all equally, that is, ignore them. Religion is not our government's business.

my 2 cents

:hi:

4. well, literally about a hundred years ago,

women got the right to vote under Republican rule.

Of course, that was when the Republican party could have been considered liberal ...

like any other conservative "movement", it's a liberal idea, aged by at least 20 years. (Why else would a female VP be considered "viable" in 2008, 24 years after the liberal Dems did it? Or, a candidate who challenges the manliness of her male counterparts, decades after Hillary Clinton was accused of neutering everybody in the White House ...)

7. that's only because they figured the women would vote as they were told to vote.

and i believe some of them still do. i can think of several from MOPS who probably would. they think men are in charge and women are the 2nd in command type thing. yech.

9. The rightwing media is gaming the vote.

That way when voting rights and machines are abused,
they will have cover.

13. Maybe they value something more than Choice, Equal Pay etc.

Before we decide how stupid they are. We need to understand Why they made this choice.
Perhaps as simple as we need to focus on their number one priority.

14. The real movement is in the easily misinformed and memory challenged.

That cuts across all groupings, including women.

16. The misinformed, short memory, and indecisive ones might be.

The informed gays and women who can remember life under Bush are probably staying put with the Dems. Those two constituencies are predominantly and solidly Dem, though, and that makes statistical misinterpretations more sensational. Any significant swing in those two constituencies is more newsy, even though the swing may actually be better explained by an across-the-board swing of the misinformed and susceptible.

17. Perhaps this is just more "doom and gloom" propaganda?

Edited on Thu Oct-28-10 10:06 AM by Proud Liberal Dem

:shrug:

I just can't honestly believe that a mere two years coming off the most radical and incompetent (mis-)administration that Democrats are doing so poorly with so many groups- and all of the sudden too (with an election not even a week away at this point)?

I thought that we were on an upswing? What happened? Obama was at 54% approval last week.

Democratic Party losing women?

:wtf:

18. Meg Whitman / Christine O'Donnell / Carly Fiorina / Sharron Angle

...will most assuredly be voting for themselves, and from what I understand, they are all women.

(I haven't seen any birth certificates, so don't quote me on that)
