“the vast majority of conservative women of faith aren’t voting”

That’s nonsense. They vote in at least as high a percentage as women overall. And women overall vote in higher percentages than men.

The problem is that a large majority of them do not like President Trump.

““God help us if we ever give ‘em the vote”

- Rooster Cogburn circa 1890”

LOL! I love John Wayne.

Giving women the right to vote; on the plus side, there was Prohibition, which actually turned out to be a major-league minus, giving mobsters tons of cash. At least that was overturned with an Amendment. I was debating with my Canadian husband; he said, “If your Founding Fathers were smart, they would have covered it all with ten Amendments.”

I responded, “They gave us two very important ones, the First and the Second (which protects the first, it is said). And we have no responsibility to quarter British soldiers anymore! LOL! But as society grew and changed, certain circumstances came up; we ended slavery and gave black Americans the right to be free and to vote; women as well (which was perhaps a bit misguided, LOL). So our Constitution was amended to reflect the changing times.”

Unfortunately, some judge somewhere found a previously hidden “Right to Privacy” in the Constitution, which ultimately led to the death of many, many babies; most of which are black, sadly. Who knows what promise some of those lives held?

On the negative side, again, for giving women the right to vote, I give you Bill Clinton. ‘Nuff said.

“Suburban Moms” need to grow up and see the larger issues of geopolitics, economics, corruption liberty as detailed in the US Constitution. Not have issues spoon-fed to them as if they were babies in a high chair.

“The problem is that a large majority of them do not like President Trump.”

They might say that to pollsters, Mariner, but what woman doesn’t love a “man’s man?” And that is exactly what President Trump is.

He dispatched with Covid fairly quickly. He brooks no nonsense or tomfoolery. He surrounds himself with intelligent people; if they happen to be women, they are inevitably gorgeous as well as smart. He knows how to pick ‘em. ;)

Okay, I am talking like I’m living in the 1800s. LOL!

Speaking as a Suburban Mom, I say to those ladies, put down the nail polish and grab a newspaper or, *gasp* a book, and turn on Fox News, preferably The Five with Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld.

And it’s not just women in general, it’s non churchgoing, single women.

Women who go to church weekly (well, back when we had church weekly pre covid) and are married tend to vote Republican.

Marriage and churchgoing rates are dropping, so here we are.

Juan Williams I could do without, though. ;)

He always looks befuddled at what his conservative peers are saying.

Yep. I had a suburban mom tell me yesterday she was voting against Trump because character counts. After about choking on my G&T I raised the issue of Biden’s character. She had no clue what I was talking about. The corruption. The sexual deviance. None of it.

So many of them have been so propagandized into believing they have the “proper” political views that there is no breaking through.

If they can’t open their minds and educate themselves, they should at least do us the favor of not voting!

You are absolutely right and on-target.

It still amazes me that liquor stores were deemed an “essential service” while churches were not.

I miss going to church. It is a bedrock in a time of serious turmoil.

I’ll think of you when I pray tonight, Olivia.

Three boys, huh? I knew a woman in law school who had three sons. I still can’t believe she managed not only to graduate, but to excel with three little guys running after each other non-stop. :)

No clue about Biden’s grabby hands?

She needs to take a look at that thingy we invented. What was it called?

Oh yeah, I remember:

The INTERNET.

Plenty of videos. In them, he has his hands all over a pre-adolescent girls’ chests all the time.

And in one, it was so much so that the sister of one of the girls, who was looking scared and totally freaked out, was looking around at the adults for some help. But they were all too much “in awe” of being in the VP’s presence.

‘We have Democrats wreaking havoc all over the country because of women.’

that will only become more prevalent in the next 30 years...pubs may have elected their last president in 2016, until such time the dems become too unwieldy and shatter in two, just as in 1860...

mainstream churches are second only to colleges as left wing hotbeds...

Interesting article. If this written by a suburban mom, I think it will help President Trump.

So who’s to blame when only men voted?
And who’s to blame for all the local, state & federal elections where men were still the vast majority of voters after 19th??
That would be...men.
At least try to be level headed. Men need to accept responsibility for their voting record; regardless of how some woman pissed them off.

We got Obama because CNN showed goofy jihadi losers dancing around a burning car with AK’s and RPG’s on a loop for 3 years straight.

The “moms” had absolutely no idea that the IRAQ war was the most one sided military azz stomping in the history of human conflict.

You can scare them into doing anything you want. I’m sure of it.

THAT IS NOT TRUE!

Why are you a Republican anyway? Don’t you know that the Republican party was founded in part to enfranchise women as well as to end slavery?

Do you understand that with only the male vote two horrible wars were fought in this country? (Civil War, and World War I of which WW-2 was merely a continuation.)

Do you realize that in colonial times women did vote?

Have you stopped to think that if women had the vote, William Bryant Jennings might have been elected president, and we would have sound dollar and no fed? Look at the horrors that have been brought upon the world funded by the international banksters.

I would say this, women are the child bearers and the child raisers. MEN abandon women. Can you blame some those young women who after they have been deserted, with few job skills, would consider voting for the politician who offers some basic financial support for them and their children? Look at the way widows and orphans were treated in the 18th and 19th centuries. It wasn’t very pretty, when only men were voting.

So you men, rather than rant and blame women, stop channeling your inner domineering misogyny, blaming women for the ills of the world to justify your desire to reduce women to level of chattel (property), zip up your pants and commit to one woman and take care of your family, and those happily married women with loving husbands, who vote the way you don’t like probably won’t.

You do realize that white women are the only significant voting block the Democrats have right?

No, convince them to at the least vote all R down ballot if they just cant vote for Trump. And keep trying to persuade them to vote for Trump. I have to think you are a troll claiming it is a good idea to convince republicans to stay home. We have got to win the house and keep the senate, preferable by larger margins.
