The larger issue is Women. Women make up 53% of the electorate, Obama won them by 13%, you do the math. Even as Obama’s poll number fall (largely in the south & males) women give him job approval ratings in the low 70’s. The southern white male strategy will not work in the new demographics of America, like it or not.
This http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2009/03/obama_creates_w.html is no accident.
Seems like you're attempting to divert the point of the thread. True conservatism will appeal to women and men, as well as any other demographics (appeal to the content of one's character, not the color of their skin).
Your premise is wrong (and sounds like DU). Conservatism is not a "white male strategy".
Here’s the pattern, if not an intentional plan:
>put more women in the workforce
>tell them they’re “independent” and need to be independent as a desirable state (Steinem - woman, man, fish, bicycle)
>make divorce easy, promote the concept that marriage is unnecessary and undesirable
now, play to women’s natural “wiring” to be taken care of, and offer the government as the entity to do so.
I am NOT wrong on this - look at the stats. Married women are conservative by HUGE margins, seeing their families as the primary unit of support.
Single/divorced women vote OVERWHELMINGLY for more government “protection” and “security” - ie, big government socialism.
You are an Obama voter so please keep your advise to yourself.
And women are the largest group collecting welfare. Go figure.

The press talked about the "angry white male," they never mentioned the "bitter single female."
These women need to realize that the policies they vote for hurt the men in their life: their brothers, their fathers, and their current boyfriend. Policies that make it harder to build wealth make it harder for a man to build a family starting nest egg. When they gleefully punish men with high taxes they are punishing their future husband.
As it gets harder for men to build the wealth needed to start a family they drop out of the marriage game. These women complain that they cannot find a good man, but they already made their choice of caregiver (government).
