Just out of curiosity: Why is it that when female voters tend to vote Democratic the Republicans have a "gender gap problem," but when male voters tend to vote Republican (overwhelmingly, in the case of white males) nobody seems to think the Democrats have the same problem?

rotf!

Because the liberal democratic candidates support things that hurt America. Abortion, Gun Control, Ect....

The Republican Candidates (While not perfect) tend to be more pro-freedom.

who said anything about a "problem"?

The answer is in two parts. Firstly, "teh gender gap" is a value-free term, which indicates a discrepancy of behaviours. Secondly, for someone who is openly partisan, any non-favorable voting behavior is a "problem" that he or she has to address in the next (and all) exlections.

The key word is openly partisan. For as long as the person does not perport to be scientific or implementing an inquiry, there is no conflict, moral or otherwise.

Because straight white men have become irrelevant to the democrats?

You have touched on a liberal contradiction in logic. Liberals never seem to be able to see the other side of the argument. They'll ask the question why are there few minorities or women in conservative ranks, but pose it as a problem for conservatives rather than as a problem for minorities and females who don't get it. It's similar to their question as to why so many pro-life conservatives support the death penalty. They could ask why so many anti-death penalty liberals support sucking a baby's brains out of it's skull. It never occurs to them to look at a problem from another angle.

Because nobody cares about the Democrat's problems.

You have embarrassed me. Why? Because I did not think of that myself. Excellent--you should have a column somewhere.
