What is Wrong with Female Voters?
Cnn.com Exit Polls ^

Posted on 11/13/2001 8:13:31 PM PST by FF578

What is wrong with Female Voters in the United States? If you take a look at elections since 1980, Female Voters vote increasingly liberal.

Let's take a look at the 2000 Election for example.

If you count Only the Male Vote. Bush would have won in a Landslide. Losing only the States of Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Massachuttes, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.

If you count only the Female Vote, Gore Would have won in a Landslide, with Bush only winning the States of : Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Alaska, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky and Indiana.

Why is this? What makes the Female American Voter so liberal? This is important because Women vote in larger numbers (7 Million More) Than men.

Liberal women either want someone to take care of them, or they want to feel good about taking care of someone else.

Wait. I thought it was biblical conservative women who thought it wise to have a husband take care of them and to fulfill their natural obligations by taking care of their children.

Well, this single female never, ever in her 20 years of voting life, voted liberal, nor will she ever as long as she lives! Or DIES!

I would expect that single females smart enough to find FreeRepublic would be very much an exception to the general rule.

Certainly, the guy meets the woman of his dreams. He sees stars, the birds sing for the first time, the poor guy is totally screwed up.

LOL! I seem to have a dim memory of going through something like that many years ago!

Re the rest of your reply, that seems to have been very experience of the guy who wrote that book -- sort of a poison-pen letter way of getting even. ;o)

It is sort of a common experience among the "In-Crowd."

Liberal women want Uncle Sam, the great Nanny, to care for their every need, so they can be independent of men.

I see. So it's not that they want someone to take care of them that's wrong (Do all women share this trait?). It's just who they want to take care of them where they miss a beat.

Coming from a woman, I think you hit the nail on the head with this quote. Funny thing is if you really think about it you realize how rediculous this thinking is. Too hell with the children, its all about ME ...

You hit that nail right on the head WileyCoyote. I say this with much embarrassment, there are many women who justify the idiot things they do as "for the children" and where have we heard that before. Kind of like, I must have this abortion because I can't afford to take care of this baby so in killing it it will be much better off. It breaks my heart.

Of course it's much easier to vote someone into government who'll give you a handout rather than actually working at a relationship with a man.

I raised my daughter the right way and I'm teaching my son how to recognize liberal women and then to run away from them!!

I agree with your point on deadbeat moms as well. I think this actually supports the fact that these women vote haphazardly. It's more time consuming to be aware of the issues, candidates, and inventory of your values and beliefs.

These women would obviously have to be the shallowest minded of all! Anyone, (man or women), that would abandon their own flesh and blood, should be charged with a felony...then they would have their voting rights taken away.

I don't know how the District attorneys office for your county handles the deadbeat issue, but ours has "Holiday Sweeps". There is no discrimination with the sex of the deadbeat parent. If you didn't pay, you're arrested and put into the county jail. There are downsides, being in jail provides no income. Which doesn't help the responsible parent out financially either. Hence, a catch 22. I'm glad your child or children have at least one awesome parent. Good luck!:^)

Abortion is what hurts the GOP with a majority of female voters.
If abortion was not an election issue, the GOP would get the majority of the female votes.

More sympathy. Warmer hearts. More easily deceived. Less bright as a group. At the present day one can add the factor of their ego's being stroked. Further, they suffer serious self control problems.

"I think it is because single women don't have a man to help provide support so they look to the state for handouts. There is something in the female psyche that needs security, without a partner they look to the state fill the role."

As a single woman and a former lib who's now seen the light, I think you are right. I think women in general feel more vulnerable than men. While men tend to think, "Oh, no, another big government program, more big government breathing down our necks," women tend to think, "Gee, I might need that program someday."

Also, a lot of women are taken in by the big lie that Republicans are just a bunch of selfish, mean-spirited old white guys who want to keep women barefoot and pregnant-- while the libs are the open-minded, compassionate ones who will help women and children. It's not true, but that's how a lot of women think. I think the tide may be turning, though-- more women are wising up and seeing the light.

It is really amazing how many women want to kill their kids. I guess they want the fast life without the kid life. Who would say that murder is not legal?

You have obviously seen the light so you must be right about women starting to see government more clearly. My favorite philosopher is female so I know that women can logically understand politics and the proper relationship between the individual and the state.

I'm one of those women who curses the day we got the right to vote. I hate to say it, but most women are idiots.

They don't understand the difference between being a philanthropist and a socialist. (When the philanthrophist sees the lady is about to step in a mud puddle, he lays his cloak at her feet. The socialist rips the coat off the back of the man standing next to him and throws it in the mud.)

Women tend to be leftists, because it sounds so nice and warm and fuzzy. Most are raised to be dependent on a man, (even the FemiNazi's are dependent on men for their "victimhood") so they are already one step closer than men to being dependent on the state and vote accordingly.

A conservative talk show host in my area brought up this topic the other day. The overwhelming majority of female callers said it was the abortion issue. Women voters wanted THAT choice, and since Republicans traditionally are Pro-life, women vote Democrap.

My personal take on this is a bit different though. I think Democraps have set themselves up in two areas that appeal to (average)women. It's the *Feel-good* party - as in They'll take CARE of me, they'll feel my pain, etc., etc., ad nauseum. They also preface everything with It's for the children. Most women are emotionally invested in their children and take it on faith that the Democraps mean it . . . .

That said, I have come to think of the Republican Party as the "Thinking (Women's)Party." If one can use ones head, and not ones heart all the time, one can see through the Democrap rhetoric and lies to the essential truth of the GOP. The smartest women I've ever met are GOP. Won't Hitlery be surprised???

Given all that I've said, no party is perfect, but I take what I like and leave the rest.

What is Wrong with Female Voters?

98% of them are complete morons. Before I get flamed, I should point out that 98% of men are complete morons, too... they're just more likely to happen to be led by their faulty reasons to accidentally vote for the right candidate. Humanity consists almost entirely of drooling, mindless cretins. Trying to explain 'why' they do something is similar to divining the motivations of an insect or bacteria.


Right-o! Though I would lower the percentage to 88% since I like to think there are a few more "incomplete morons" out there. :)

Buying into Socialist ideology is not at all limited to women.

Have met quite a few guys (note my non-use of the word "men" here) who epitomize the Ignorant Touchy-Feely Leftist.

P.S. I am a PRO-LIFE gal. Will *never* understand the mindset of folks, be they male or female, who find the killing of innocents acceptable.

Well, by your standards that puts me squarely in that non-moronic 2% category of females. I vote conservative and I don't pay any attention to those lezzies who masquerade as women.

They have nothing in common with me, and they don't care about families or anything else I care about.

Feminism has nothing to do with being FEMININE!

The answer to getting women back to ease off on the abortion issue. And that's the hard truth.

Abortion is pretty much the reason I stopped being a Democrat. And that's true for many Republicans. Instead of avoiding the issue why don't you try to convince us we are wrong. Show us that abortion is not the brutal, painful murder of a baby. Can you do that?
