That leaves me with some questions:

1. How can such women be soooo stupid?

2. What do they see in such a wimp?

3. WHY the heck aren’t more MEN voting?

Well you are the woman here, so you tell me ;)

I think most studies show pretty conclusively it is because women tend to vote on emotion and men tend to vote on logic. The Democrats specialize in appeals to emotion. The average voter, men and women both, don't know much about specifics. Arguing that we as a nation should spend more on education, healthcare, various social programs, etc is just a very appealing to women. Men tend to look at the numbers and ask "does the program work". Women tend, for whatever reason, to be more receptive to the argument that we should spend more on these things no matter what (or that it is simply good enough that we keep trying no matter how wasteful).

The woman's vote is absolutely critical for Democrats. They need about 55-60% to win an election. Hence the made up "war on women". Sadly though, that stuff tends to work and it is the reason why the Democrats run this same scare tactic every election cycle.

Face it SumProVita, it is your gender that is wrecking everything and giving us all these liberal Democrats! ;) Joking, joking. Republicans really do just need to find a better away to appeal to women. I would suggest a focus on family security - maybe emphasize things that conservatives believe strongly anyway such as a strong military to defend our children, law and order criminal justice policies to keep criminals off the streets, etc.

We need your input on this stuff :)

“...most studies show pretty conclusively it is because women tend to vote on emotion and men tend to vote on logic.”

I’d sure like to see a list of those studies. I, and most of the women I know, are extremely logical. Cause and effect mean a great deal to us. Our emotional component allows us to see a larger picture, but doesn’t necessarily or automatically override logic.


“Men tend to look at the numbers and ask “does the program work”. Women tend, for whatever reason, to be more receptive to the argument that we should spend more on these things no matter what (or that it is simply good enough that we keep trying no matter how wasteful).”

Good grief! What *study* did THIS come from?


“Hence the made up “war on women”. Sadly though, that stuff tends to work ...”

Among the women I know, the vast majority find this *manufactured war on women* meme utterly ridiculous. It’s not working for them this time.

Overall, my input is that Republican WOMEN ought to promote some strong, logical PR on the subject to both educate and counter the nonsense being put forth by these juvenile Democrats.
