Many Single Women, A Key Bloc, Are Avoiding GOP By By NICHOLAS RICCARDI
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."
As Republicans dust off their Election Day drubbing last month, their party must confront the reality that the ranks of unmarried women are growing rapidly, and these voters overwhelmingly have backed Democrats for decades.

Throw out the hook and the yahoos bite...Anybody ask what’s her face if she ever ever voted for any Republican...This is pure propaganda...
No longer possible; not only are DNA tests a lot cheaper and faster these days, but if the sluts are forced to pay for the test, plus a hefty fine and/or jail time if they play that game, I assure you that game will come to a screeching halt.
And for this reason, I postulate that conservatives should abandon their opposition to abortion. We should make sure that these women never reproduce, and as an added benefit, we should provide free tubal ligations to make future fecundity impossible.
Evolution works, people. Use it to our advantage. They want abortion on demand... give them abortion on demand. Give them more than abortion on demand - give them what liberals so frequently approve of in China.
In about two generations, they’re done and gone. Problem solved.
You’re vastly overestimating the intellectual horsepower of the majority of today’s young women.
I’ve met many of them in my travels. Most have no higher thoughts about “big subjects” at all. Everything is driven by emotion and “feelings,” and their ability to do any sort of mathematics is nearly nil. Those stupid magazines you see in the checkout line at Wally World aren’t exercises in disposing of glossy paper. They publish that pablum because it *sells*. And it doesn’t sell to middle aged white males. Or middle aged females. Or elderly folks. Those magazines are going after the 17 to 35 age bracket of single women.
Republicans (and conservatives) continue to make this mistake around female voters: The campaign strategists keep believing that women “think about the issues.”
Wrong. The vast majority of women “feel,” they don’t “think.” Some married female voters might start thinking, if only because they’ve been around one man long enough to know that not everything every damn day is about their feelings, and they’ve had their husband explain this to them - more than once.
Was it a ‘drubbing’? At the Presidential level it was not, except in the sense that Obama has been such a terrible President that it should have been a landslide for the GOP. But we can blame that on the candidate inherently pro-Democrat demographic changes. It also wasn’t a drubbing in the House or in State races.
But it was a drubbing in the Senate. It was a widespread drubbing where both bad and good Republican candidates lost. We had idiots like Mourdock lose. We had solid sensible conservatives lose. We had popular moderates like Tommy Thompson lose (to a lesbian!). We had retreads like Allen lose to slimeball opponents. We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in allegedly very conservatives states like North Dakota and Montana. We lost to unpopular, extremely vulnerable incumbents like McCaskill and Nelson.
The Senate was an ass whooping. It was a disaster. Maybe we should have seen it coming after the disappointment of the 2010 Senate races. Taken together, the lost opportunities for 2010 & 2012 would equal a solid GOP majority if things had gone our way.
Maybe we should have a campaign to get single Republican men to start asking women to marry them . . .
“In a nutshell, here’s why Obama won and the nation is in a death spiral”
In a nutshell Romney lost for two reasons. The first being massive voter fraud, the second being a couple million republicans stayed home that voted for McCain in 2008. The only women that voted for the communist are pro-abort women, the majority of them being single. You will hear of no single woman who voted republican in 2008, then switched and voted for Obamagabe. They don’t exist. Pro-aborts voted for the communist.
So, who wants to marry a stupid, clueless, feminist chick who thinks Obama is "cool"? It seems like that's about all that are left out there to pick from once the few good ones get scarfed up.
It is a better deal to move in for sex for a few months (and with these chicks, that is easy to do). When she starts getting pushy, leave and hang out with your buddies until you get horny again.
Besides, it saves oodles on divorce lawyer fees and settlements that put you in the poor house for life - not to mention the wear and tear on your anti-nag circuit. Because that's what you're going to get from these jaded chicks!
Me? I've been happily married to the same wonderful woman for 42 years. She stayed home to raise our kids, despises the feminists, loathes Liberals, bakes cookies for our grandkids, and is happy I have guns around the house to protect her!
What more could I ask for? Certainly not a stupid Obama lover!
Good analysis. I was starting to think that only I was getting tired of all this advice to Pubbies that has been everywhere lately.
I’d say the two are voter fraud and media bias, but that is probably why many voters stayed home.
BUT unless something addresses these two issues, it is really a mute argument.
I also don’t think any of the other Pubbies could have done better. In fact I think they would have probably done worse due to problem #2.
“It’s not something that women in my demographic really care about.”
So what do women in your demographic really care about, bimbo—lattes, shoes, and what’s on Orca’s book list?

Women in this country have said “I don’t need men, I’m independent,” and then they’ve replaced heads of households with government.
It can’t go on forever.
Any society that doesn’t have families at its core is doomed.
We ran a f’n mortician out of the 1950s who didn’t have a clue about what single women, blacks or Hispanics care about. And it ain’t taxes.
I knew someone would say it, it is time to stop being politically correct and acknowledge that the founding fathers were indeed brilliant people and they knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they put restrictions on who could vote and the nation set its own death spiral in motion when women were given the vote.
Has the United States suffered a bigger mistake than the 19th?
Neither has this one!
I’m ashamed to say my 26 YO daughter votes on a single issue — the unfettered right to kill unborn babies. She says she’s not interested in finance, economics, growth of the economy, or our financial well-being.
She is bright, hard-working, has an excellent job, and is economically independent, but she cannot think pragmatically about the critical existential threats facing our nation. She refuses to think objectively about freedom vs. tyranny, individualism vs. collectivism, dictatorship vs. liberty, or government of limited powers vs. totalitarianism. I am completely appalled and dismayed.
Good for you, FA.
Great post Dave! You are absolutely right, I lost my first wife to cancer 21 years ago and I loved her very much but I once tried to explain to her that thoughts and emotions are two different things, how you think about something should determine how you feel about that subject and not the other way around. She couldn’t grasp it, she was very intelligent in other ways but the day she died she was still convinced that emotions are thoughts.
I do know one thing for certain though, she would NEVER have been taken in by Obama. She could spot a phony a mile off.
I am not ignoring you. I am just mulling over what you said.
Maybe, then, the R party needs to nominate a candidate with “sex appeal” —? Someone good on the issues for the thinking voters, and someone attractive for the other folks who cast ballots?
just thinking....
