Women Will Elect the Next President
Human Events ^ | 9/20/2007 | Ericka Andersen

Posted on 09/20/2007 7:17:05 AM PDT by HoosierGirl25

Fact: 54% of voters in the 2004 election were women and that’s good news for Hillary Clinton (D-NY). According to various news reports, Clinton employs six full-time staffers specifically for women’s outreach -- more than any other candidate -- to reel in the female vote.

For now, Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in the Democratic race by a 42-23% (according to the latest RCP poll) margin and will likely take the nomination for 2008. She knows how critical that female vote is, which is why she participated in a Women in Public Policy (WIPP) event yesterday. Clinton used the opportunity to tout her freshly unveiled healthcare agenda.

You defame every female conservative, and exemplify the worst of leftist thinking with a post like this.

*************

? Putting aside the issue of defamation, how does Sacajaweau's post "exemplify the worst of leftist thinking"? Liberals consider women to be superior to men.

I’d be more in favor of a voter competence test. Once a year, a simple current events test. You pass, you’re in, you fail, you get 1 or 2 retries, and then it’s wait until next year.
To me that seems reasonable, and logical, therefore, it will never, ever happen.

And you can’t vote if you’re on welfare.

“All the women I know really dislike Hillary.”

Doesn’t matter. A pact with the devil cannot be overcome. She’ll win, same way slick won twice.

Why is it that most elections produce numbers that show women tend to vote democrat? It tells me that they tend to be far more liberal than their male counterparts. Why is it that these same politicians that get their votes campaign on issues that require a large amount of social spending? How did we get into the social security scheme? Didn’t it originally began as a widows benefit? Women it seems to me look to the nanny state for guarantees they feel they or their husbands can’t provide for themselves or don’t know how. It’s a shame these woman out number conservative women.

My intellectual capicity was challenged. I went back to when this country still made logical decisions and guess what? It all started when men were overrun by womens coercion. Men have always been put in the position of appeasing women thoughout the ages. When women, the sixties, started using the terms chauvinist, racist and such the men as usual capitulated and played along.

As far as corrupting the educational system think of who the teachers were. So now we have emotional decision making, socialism, feel good politics all rolled up into one called liberalism. From the Marxists taking over the educational system and women forcing men into their way of thinking we have been on a downward trend and I don’t see the end.

I have ten woman cousins between the ages of 18 and 50. Not one will vote for Hillary. Comments include “bitch,” “liar,” “stayed with Bill for her own political gain,” “makes women look stupid,” “tyrant,” and “I don’t trust her.”

That's why I wonder how she has a chance. No one wants her to be president except the media. Wait! There is one guy I know. But, he only considers it to shake up the country.

They have been reading my posts.....

The winner will be the candidate who promises to alleviate women’s stress. The marketers bombard the airwaves with product messages promising stress relief. The marketers know it is a primary concern of many women.

The camapign manager who best picks up the theme will have a winner.

If it weren't for women, Giuliani would be third in the polls right now for the GOP nomination. If you look at any breakdown of the GOP polls by sex, you will see Fred and Mitt leading among men, with Giuliani holding a wide lead among women.

Note to GOP women: Rudy is a WIMP from Lawn Guyland who has a habit of running off with whatever third-rate trollop catches his eye.

Thats nice. My mother and sister will both vote for her. Don’t ask me why; I’m not into abnormal psychology.

Have been saying for years that they shouldn’t have gotten the vote. (And I’m a woman)

I said that same thing on FR a few years ago and I'm a man. I got a ton of the most scathing replies you could imagine and finally stopped even reading them. My point was, and still is, that if women had not voted in recent elections we would not have had Carter or Clinton as presidents, nor about half of the Democrats who have been in Congress for the last 50 years or more.

I didn't say nor do I believe that women are inferior to men in intelligence or any other category of human ability except possibly sheer physical strength. But I think that any neutral observer of the US political scene would have to admit that women in general are more inclined to vote for liberal or moderate candidates than for hard right conservative candidates, especially if the liberal is a woman, and in general are more willing to give up some degree of personal freedom in exchange for security than the majority of men are.

Anyway, it's interesting to speculate on how much different the US would be today if the 19th Amendment had not been passed by an all-male Congress and ratified by the all-male state legislatures of that era. One thing I believe we could be quite sure of, Hillary would not be our next president and neither would Obama or the Breck Girl.

But most stereotypes tend to make us feel superior in some way to the person or group being stereotyped.

I'm objecting to several poster's claims that it was only after all women got suffrage that politicians turned left-wing...

Please link back to even one of those "claims." I believe a normative understanding of what has been written here will show that leftist policies came into ascendancy, not existence, after women's suffrage.

Indeed, "leftist" itself has been a moving target.
