I think more women were captivated by his charming personality and the promises he would never keep and got conned when they voted for him. While my own personal experience has shown me women are generally more distrusting at first when they meet someone they tend to take the bait, hook, line, and sinker if a conman has a charming personality, is reasonably attractive and acts like he’s paying attention to them and their needs. I think this is the reason the majority of them were conned. And I bet many are having buyer’s remorse but will never admit it because they don’t want to admit they were wrong.
^ btw one of my jobs is investigating conmen and white collar criminals so I’m very familiar with their mindset and lack of empathy for their fellow man and the strong predator / prey instincts they have.
I know a guy who was in love with Obama from 2004. He ended friendships with anyone who called Obama a muslim in 2008. A few months back he said he voted for Obama only because he hated Sarah Palin. I guess he forgot that I remembered him wanting to go down on Obama after the 2004 speech at the Dem convention. He also must have forgotten that Palin didn’t run in 2012 when he voted for Obama the second time.
There should be a mental exam before you can vote. Say one thing stupid and you can’t vote for the next two elections.
You are describing my oldest sister to a tee. When I visit back east around Thanksgiving, I make an effort to say not a word about her Tiger-Beat like photo montage/ ‘Shrine’ to Obama. It’s disgusting and I’m a bit disappointed that she doesn’t even bother trying to see what’s really transpiring. We used to discuss politics, but we don’t talk of the Presidency since Novemeber of 2008. Like most libs, she cannot handle any dissenting views. So fine, keep your head in the sand, is what I’ll be thinking.
