Dumb women for Bush?

Are women on the East Coast smarter because they like John Kerry? Are women in the Midwest dumber because they don't like Kerry as much?

I wrote an article this week about how women are not supporting Kerry at the same level as they supported Al Gore in 2000. Citing a series of polls done for Knight Ridder and MSNBC, I noted that Kerry's support from women was lagging in Missouri and Ohio, two battleground states. Consequently, Kerry was trailing Bush in those states.

One woman who read the article in Philadelphia did not think it was news.

"I don't understand how it's anything new in the states you are citing," she said in a voice message left at my office. "Everyone knows Missouri, Ohio, that's going to be the polls there.

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter had a different take. The trend made her "proud" of her gender, she said.

Looking at her feet she looks like a rather large hog.

Has anyone seen these "smarter women" representing lurch on television?

Nuff said.

You know, educated fool is not an oxymoron.

"...guess what city had the highest percentage of heifers? Yep! Philadelphia."

Well, I am astonished it is not Bayonne, NJ. Maybe we weren't big enough to include in the survey, but I'd say our women are more than big enough to be considered.

I have wondered about big city east-coasters before, men and women. They are sooooooo liberal. What make them like that? Is it because they rarely see our land in its natural state and live in a manufactured world? Is it because they see millions of people but know very few?

NOt all of them are highly educated so that can't be the reason. I wish I knew.

Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry.

Another frustrated liberal flipping burgers because she can't get a job with her masters degree in "Womyn's Studies & Radical Basket Weaving."

Yes, waitress, I'd like fries with my burger, and hold the pickles. Here's a dollar tip to buy some whine.

I went back and checked the list of elections that a broad in Philadelphia could have voted for Kerry.

I only find one, the primary in the Spring of '04.

If once is equal to "always have, always will" she needs to learn a little about math.

OTOH, she is a liberal democrat and may just be reveaking a little more about her voting habits than she meant to.

Is that the same thing as a feminist brain fart? Just curious.

Think about it - If women who vote for Dubya are dumb, then it stands to reason that the ones who vote for Kerry have to fall into one of three categories - 'women on drugs', 'women influenced by Hollywierd' or 'women who are nearly brain-dead', some falling into more than one category.

Someone should point out to that woman that the public education system in places like Iowa or South Dakota puts New York City or Boston to shame.

Also point out that Bush would poll higher than Kerry at the most elite and academic challenging universities in the nation which is West Point, the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

So that's why Gore lost in 2000. All those educated East Coast women were trying to vote for Kerry and couldn't find him on the ballot.

ROFL ;^D

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

Does this mean they vote for Kerry whether they live in MA or not?

Get me the FEC!!

[Seattle Conservative]

There are women who are unmarried, childless and working and not lefty women (me for one).

I've seen a dims slogan here and there: When women vote, Democratics win"

I saw a better one at the Rep booth at the Western WA State Fair yesterday: When informed women vote, Republicans win.

Is that the same thing as a feminist brain fart? Just curious.

Yeah, but I prefer the more pompous language.

[bray]

Kinda nice that all those Edjikated wimyn are going to be taking Prozac after Nov! Always have, always will.

Pray for W and Our Troops

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

They always will vote for Kerry. In otherwards after he loses their just going to keep nominating him. Real smart.

[Ginifer]

Where are the statistics that women are more educated on the East Coast? Just because you have "book smarts" doesn't mean you have common sense!

"There are women who are unmarried, childless and working and not lefty women (me for one)."

Oh sure, I know, of course, I guess my point being --- This is why lefty feminists go with the "They must all just not be that smart" direction in regards to conservative women. I think this is one of the major hallmarks of the left, their hatred for men, marriage, the whole traditional 1950s, we've been doing this since the dawn of age system -- they hate it, they are all about turning the thing over, upside down and changing the whole structure of society!!! These feminists in their 60's and 70's (getting old, aren't they) are ALL about destroying whats always been. Just your typical catty peer pressure for 40 years from them - "How could you be so stupid as to marry and have kids!" they've said.
