Exactly. Fight for those two percentage points instead of telling women they shouldn’t vote and you’ve got your sea change. A lot of woman are put off by some of the rhetoric you seem to be using. A lot like me grew up listening to that rhetoric and yet were able to put it aside and embrace true conservative values, not the disenfranchisement of over half the population. Women got the vote, what 1920? Can’t blame my gender for Woodrow Wilson et al if you want to talk about usurping freedom.

Ma’am, if I may call you this, I’d be calling out the men if the numbers were reversed.

It has nothing to do with men/women, but everything to do with defeating socialism. I frankly don’t care who’s doing the voting, but I do care who they choose to vote for.

I think women are amazing, but this attitude is frustrating and difficult. Socialism is not your friend. The time will come, not long, when we cannot afford any of these social programs and the government will collapse. Then all the women who voted themselves benefits will wonder why it doesn’t work for them.

Yes, there are plenty of women who perfectly understand what I am saying here.

If two years under Obama isn’t enough to convince women that Obama is not their friend, I don’t know what to say. From where I sit, women are poorer, supporting their family more as their men have been put out of work and their taxes have been increased. The burden is far heavier now than it’s been in a long time.

You are right, we can’t blame women for Wilson, but Wilson never got 50 percent of the vote ever. Teddy Roosevelt was responsible.
