So these woman supposedly want "mildness", yet this chick backed Herman Cain???
This may sound silly, but remember Clinton won a huge majority of women and kept them to the end even though he was a cad.
Sufferage, by and large a huge mistake.
SO Mitt Romney is just another symptom of the feminisation of American society?
Mildness a positive quality in a politician? Good thing our Founding Fathers were nothing of the sort.
Probably part of the mega-million $ campaign by Colorado liberal billionaires to take over the state. They've been very successful so far.
Ugh! I suppose I can hold up my head knowing I don’t share their utterly corrupted values.
Yeah; no baggage.
How can these people be so f$$%ing ignorant?
Romney's Grandfather had 12 wives....legal ONLY in the Mormon Religion, and might also be interpreted as 12 mistresses on call, or cheating on his wife with 11 others....
Gimme a break.
On a purely emotional (not political) level I can understand the women’s perspective.
Romney stood by a wife with MS and through her battle with breast cancer. Gingrich divorced his first wife (who had breast cancer) and his second wife (who had MS.)
Romney’s wife, is his only wife, bore him 5 sons and they present a very positive family image. Gingrich’s wife was his mistress, before she was his wife. Women’s view of the First Lady matter, probably more than men’s. (well maybe not the case, look at all the negative remarks about Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton coming from men on FR)...all that to say, a mistress, turned wife, as First Lady turns off some women voters.
As I said, none of this has to do with their politics...but
if a woman is inclined to look at things aside from political stand (and there are many who do), Romney is the antithesis or Gingrich.
For instance, Mark Levin was correct the other day on Romney's lack of understanding on the minimum wage question from a conservative standpoint. His advocacy for indexed minimum wage is the "progressive" position, not the conservative and overlooks economists like Dr. Walter Williams who points out how minimum wage laws hurt youth and others.
Likewise, Romney's remark about "the poor" didn't indicate a callousness to "the poor." What it did fail to do, however, was to take advantage of the opportunity he had to present a case for a truly conservative solution for helping 'the poor' and all other citizens.
And, to win the battle for the minds and hearts of citizens, the nominee needs to be someone whose quickness of mind and ready familiarity with founding principles can refuse to "class" people by "rich," "middle class," "poor," etc. That is Obama's playground. It is how the collectivists/redistributionists classify and divide us, and it is how they avoid accountability for providing real solutions in economic matters.
Romney, as Krauthammer has pointed out, seems "incapable" of responding with and explaining conservative ideas.
To restore America's greatness will require leaders who, like America's Founders, have thought through the ideas which made America great, for it is the restoration of those ideas to the American mind which can give freedom back to the citizens and wrest power from the hands of "rulers" who use "poverty" as their vote-getting mechanism.
Would suggest readers here visit another thread recently referencing Jonah Goldberg's observations on Romney's "not speaking the language naturally," meaning he doesn't speak the language of conservatism.
My post there points out that the problem is much deeper than "language," as this matter of his full embrace of the idea of the minimum wage illustrates.
Romney's natural philosophy, as evidenced by these and other debate answers, are just indications that his well of thought on America's core constitutional philosophy is not very deep--and certainly does not include a grounding in the Founders' ideas sufficient to rebut, rebuke, and reveal Obama's firmly-held ideology.
As a result, his "private sector" experience, while impressive and to be commended, has not prepared him for preserving the ideas which made possible his personal success in the Founders' system.
Women, especially, should understand that each candidate brings "baggage." Some "baggage" is not as consequential to the cause of liberty for our children and grandchildren as other "baggage."
No baggage is as disqualifying for the man who will compete in the battle of ideas with Obama as a lack of deep understanding and ability to differentiate between the ideas of liberty and the ideas of tyranny.
I guess stupid GOP-e women prefer to see a “husband” in their POTUS and NOT a leader.
My gender pisses me off.
My daughter, a college Republican, supports Romney. Santorum is her second choice and she views Gingrich as an absolute joke: “We're not going to elect a fat old guy who likes to hear himself talk, has been married three times, resigned from Congress under a cloud and has more baggage than O’Hare.”
how do we end up with such RINO women?
conservative is conservative.
Are they just republican for convenience?
