Many single women, a key bloc, are avoiding GOP

DENVER (AP) — Sara Stevenson spends her working hours surrounded by Republicans, namely the married men who work alongside her in a Denver oil and gas firm company. But after hours and on weekends, she usually spends her time with other single women, and there's not a Republican in sight among the bunch.

"There was just no way I could have supported any Republican this year," said Stevenson, 31. "They skew so much to the religious right. ... They focused so much on taxes. It's not something that women in my demographic really care about. I've never heard my friends lament their taxes."

“If Sarah would have run against Obama as the nominee she would have won.”

At this point we’ll never know; I don’t see her ever again getting the chance she had in 2008. The Repubs let the entertainment media bork her; she became a caricature of a candidate.

I could never be friends with someone who watched shows the “The Daily Show”; their “comedy” is a well-orchestrated part of the Bolshevik spin machine. I don’t even speak to people who parrot that crap.

You’re welcome; it is a realtor’s nightmare. We’ve had re-evaluations where the town sends someone to physically check every bit of your house. They want to find the illegal apartments, not to remove them but to tax them. The towns in NJ are cash-strapped, but they want to keep the schools filled because of other money (fed/state) they get for it. In fact, years ago we had an investigator that would ferret out Newark students attending our public high school; somebody must have done the math because after a small number of successful prosecutions the practice was ended.

That is why NJ businesses, and their employees that can do so, are fleeing the state (often going to yours); there is no doubt that the teachers’ unions are the #1 reason for NJ’s decline.

They have driven up the property taxes so high that even with a good economy it was difficult; our private education system (their competition) was successfully destroyed because people couldn’t pay $7,500 in public school taxes, then another private school tuition on top of it. Rather than close schools/lay off staff to adjust to our falling population (we’ve lost electoral votes as our population sinks), the liberal response has been outreach to illegals to put kids in the seats (while legitimate taxpayers foot the bill, which includes free breakfast & lunch). Our teachers work from 8:30 to 3:00, with at least a half hour for lunch; try to get any extra help for your child after school and you’ll see how determined they are to be heading home by 3:01.

The Asbury Park Press released ALL of their salaries a few years ago (helping Christie win the Governor post by doing so); you would be shocked at how many people in their 40s earned $80K+ for 6 hours per day, 180 days per year.

NJ is behind the times, and paying a steep price for it; soon there will be nobody here but illegal aliens and the permanent multi-generational welfare underclass.

That means the single white women didn’t; married white women would support Romney as the best choice for their families, single white women voted for Obama as a substitute family.

Rather than let these moms with four kids and three dads stay home as “THE PEOPLE” pay the bills I think they should at this point almost put into orphanages and the moms forced to work to pay for it with visitation on the week end.
If they find the dads, collect out of their hides as well.

We are in essence paying a third of the United States SS survivor benefits and that is no doable.

I have no problem with that; I don’t have a problem with the state taking the children away outright if the parent(s) have no intention of or interest in providing for them either. The cycle of dependency has to be broken; this has gone on for 50 years.

Any mother not trying to provide themselves for the children or who decide that when they are broke to go have more kids are not mothers at all anyway.
State would be doing the kids a favor to put them into an orphanage, force mom to work and pay support for these kids.

IMO far more stable for the kids and forced the dead beat mom (and dad if we could find them) to get off their lazy butts.

Not every single female parent is of low education and on welfare. There is a whole class of university educated single Moms who feel the same way about the need for government supports. In todays world, they likely live no where near family and are not church affiliated. It is not an easy life. They feel the government should step in and provide needed resources and backup support. There are many many women who feel that way and to whom the Republican party is alien.

Women should not vote.

We don’t want them....the Democrats can have them....the GOP has nothing to gain by reaching out to the Sandra Fluke Club.....I know there are good Conservative Single Women, but of course, they are already in the fold, and that is not what I am referring to here.

Certainly not Christian women, if they go for Hinduistic yoga practices. This is a photo of Ms. Johnson from the article. Courting them will not result in election wins, no matter what the AP tries to say.

Absolutely a better plan than what we have now, though it was easier to force them into work when there was work...

These women are not going to survive the coming times.

Good. I don't want them breeding, even by accident.

conservative women can and are found in the fitness type yoga. The bible thumpers rabid stance on yoga as a whole has not been helpful.

Also if yoga is really researched you find it is more agreeable to conservatives than liberals. Liberals are just confused by the zither music. ;-)

What does the economy have to do with a good catch? A man is a man is a man. A good Christen Conservative, manly of course, is all the man a good Christen woman needs.

I must agree with your “What’s been going on with half of American women the past few years is amazing”.

I am friends, well more of an aquatince of many of them. I try to inform them, i.e......sex on the 1st date is NOT okay!

Luckily, my bff is married w/ 3 children so I don’t have to go through this cr@p w/ her. But the girls we are surrounded with are just, trying to find the right word,......ah, STUPID!

Then they come crying to us about how they’ve been “screwed over” by the male. I get so sick of it I just say “I told you so”. They know I am correct and say “yes, you did, but....”, then I stop them before they go on with their but story.

I remind them how many times they have been through it and yet learn nothing. I may seem cold and heartless in this post, but yet they come to me for advise. They know I’m black and white and also call me a “Jesus Freak” (in which I wear proudly)!

As a single man, you must also be careful...same to you single ladies out there. A lot of single men and women just jump into bed, very rarely using protection, with both sexes even and DO NOT see it as homosexuality! Lord only knows the “puss & disease transfers” going on out there.

Have you ever dated a “feminist”? When the check comes, does she pull out her pocketbook? Just curious.

"single white women voted for Obama as a substitute family."

Wrong. This single white woman, with NO illegitimate children DID NOT vote for barry.

I voted in 2008 for Sarah and 2012 for Ryan.

"I just wish there was a way for us like minded people to get together."

For starters, we have FR. I don't believe FR was started for nothing. I do believe He has a plan for like minded, law abiding, God loving, Country loving, Freedom loving people to at least "meet".

I do believe the rest is up to us though.
