Question for my fellow conservative women
Do you get garbage from other women telling you that no woman would ever vote Republican?
I will also report something I find awesome. As an older student in a college full of 18-22/23 year olds I am seeing that the new generation is no longer on board for "pro-choice". I took a Western Civ. class last semester that focused on WWII, as a sideline to the course we had to read a book called "Meditations of a Holocaust Traveler" by Gerald Markle ( I don't recommend it, it's written by a sociologist and you have to have an understanding of Social theory to get his points and there are much better books out there).
By the end of the semester 98% of the class did not see the differences in the arguments for the Final Solution and the arguments for abortion and agreed that abortion is America's holocaust.
I get it all the time! Everyday! I kind of have a double whammy against me (which I welcome though). I live and work in Hollyweird! I am an actress and am told constantly that since I work in a creative field I’’ MUST’’ vote DemoncRAT! LOL!THEY ARE NUTS!
In my regular life, no, I seldom meet a Republican, and I'm bubbly and outgoing when I get out and just the usual chitchat with the minimum wage people I normally encounter but don't talk politics because we are blue here.
If the very few people I encounter aren't angry and the subject of politics comes up, I will listen to their opinion without getting angry. Then I try to see some good in our opponents so that when I point out what I perceive as extremely negative, they at least listen.
It's ironic, but I don't hobnob with the kind of middle and upper class people I grew up with and with whom I once worked, socialized and worshipped. Life has taken me on a different path, but I've never been prouder of my party than I have been the last several days. It is like rekindling hope for the future of my children and grandchildren. We are united and energized. The GOP has at last filled my hopes and dreams by drawing the kind of people I've been yearning for under the big tent. Ordinary, struggling Americans from all walks of life. We need more of them and young people.
I'm so thrilled to see such genuine exuberance and happiness on our side these last two nights despite the multitude of spoilers.
Anyhow, every, single group of two or more women were discussing the Palin speech, and how they thought it was great. I had to keep checking my ears. Hmmmm...
Not really, but I live in a majority Republican area. I do know a couple of women who are voting for Obama, but they are a definate minority here.
Good luck with that! hehe

NOPE!
I will say that some conservative woman are more conservative than the GOP’s most recent direction on family.
No, I never make friends with anyone that dumb.
You’re my kind of gal! :-)
You can thank the National Organization for Women (NOW) for years of liberal brainwashing.
Liberal women are EASY to pick out.
Just look at their dress - typically TRENDY.
Married women vote Republican. Single women vote Democrat. I suppose it depends on whether you feel secure enough to vote for freedom.
I laugh and say that as long as I’m a military wife, I’m voting for a Conservative Commander in Chief. Preserving the safety of our nation is for all of us.
No kidding.
Yep.
My son made an interesting comment tonight. He’s 24. Last night he went to a party where most of the guests were ever-so-cosmpolitan Ivy grads.
At the dinner table, the topic of Gov (soon to be VP) Palin came up ... and she was summarily dismissed as not worthy of discussion. Later, the topic of abortion came up and, he observed, they did not even want to hear or understand why anyone would be opposed to abortion.
His observation was that they were not even interested from a strategic point in knowing how the other side thinks ... because they are so convinced their thinking is so correct and all that counts. Of course, he’s observed some of that same mindset on this site ;)
