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.

How many eligible female voters (single and otherwise) sat out the election altogether or voted third party?

This article is the result of a site supported by Soros disinformation; long on assertions, short on facts.

How did single men of the same age range vote? Without knowing that, the high percentage is meaningless. The same idiot BS as advertisers addressing the ignorant and dull-witted ---NEWER! BETTER! Totally meaningless.

If in fact women are that intellectually inferior and emotionally driven, which I doubt, they can join the African parasites brigade. I suppose if a cultural missing gene can create one group, it can create another.

Can I say it now? stupid women! Ask anyone of them whos on dancing with the stars, who won on the voice or American Idol and who’s screwing who in Hollywood and they can give you an answer before you finish the question. Ask them about Benghazi and they will reply I dont know this guy Ben who is he? I rest my case, nuff sed! Hang on the girls are taking us over the cliff with this handsome blackman who is so dreamy and did you know he is extremely intelligent too?

What percentage of these single women supporting Dims are also single moms on welfare, the welfare recepient component of that winning coalition Obama said he thought could help Dims win?

Not surprised that these great ‘analysts’ failed to provide that portion of the data concerning single women.

A bigger coalition and a more leftist coalition is the unchurched! Coalition is probably not a good decription because I’m not sure that they are organized, but they hate all things Christian and Jewish — a traditional values.

one might have thought that single young women would be interested in a prosperous economy with lots of jobs and business opportunities for them to pursue?

there’s something wrong with this picture...
(or maybe the R party was just abysmally terrible at communicating one of its strongest campaign messages — restoring the American economy and jobs again ? )

It seems seriously doubtful that more than a few single young women really want a life on the dole ... even with free Obamaphones thrown in... ??????

Not this single, unmarried woman. I’ve never voted for a Democrat in my life.

Women who are single still desire security, and they look to Uncle Sam/Sugar since they don’t have a man.

I think that you are right on. I suspect that these women do not even realize why they are making such a decision.

I continue to be amazed that so many voters are willing to retain in office someone they know practically nothing about.

Add to this group the voting bloc that votes for the Democrats because they received an Obamaphone. They say things like "Romney sucks," but they cannot say why, or even anything about his positions and policies. This is our country today.

I'm not sure that can be said of Black and Hispanic voters. But the attraction to wealth redistribution seems to trump everything else.

“As Republicans dust off their Election Day drubbing last month, . . . .”

Did the GOP really get beat that badly??

BO won by a few percentage points. A few hundred thousand extra votes across 10 swing states would have changed the election.

Is that really a “drubbing”?

Of 33 Senate seats up for election, 23 or so were Democrat, 10 or so Republican. The 'pubbies STILL managed to suffer a net loss with Obama at the top of the ticket. Yes, that was a drubbing.

One of the many reasons why I never date single women.

Their politics are intolerable and they're always looking for some kind of commitment.

Hold every child inelilegable to recieve any welfare dollars without the idenity of a lawfull Father, who should held, along with the mother, accountable for suport of said offspring

My state tried this about 15 yrs. ago. All the single mom Sandra Flukes out there started picking random male names out of the telephone directory and began listing them as the father of their love child on the welfare forms. Acrimony and chaos ensued, as you can imagine.

Well, from my observations of many conservative men, they like to date liberal women because they are slutty and cheap and easy, and then complain after they marry them when the same women cheat and divorce them and run off with half their net worth and the kids.

So maybe the demographic is not single women so much as slutty women. But respectable intelligent conservative women make up that thirty-some percent.

“....the ranks of unmarried women are growing rapidly”.

Looks like the “me” generation is not producing “we” couples. Ol’ Sara here is 31 & still hanging out at the bar with all her undesirable girl friends. Undesirable because Feminism has made them into shallow, self-centered b!tches, more interested in their rights (entitlements) & vaginas than their actual desirability.

Some will eventually marry for money, or out of loneliness & desperation, "cougars" needing a boy toy; or have kids without a father, for company (entertainment), spawning more maladjusted fools & fodder for the divorce lawyers.

They aren’t financially interested, so that is why the taxes they pay don’t offend them. I try to educate my female friends on a regular basis. When the commercial about how much Romney paid on his investment income ran, I took every opportunity to explain that he has already paid regular tax on his income and this is investment income. And taxing investment income at a higher rate will hurt retirees that live on their investment income; it isn’t just the rich.

But unfortunately, these women are more worried about their birth control, abortion, makeup, hairdos, concerts, and “feelings” than financial health.

Posted here hours ago

So?
I am the center of the universe, and I wasn't here hours ago. Plus, I left my OUIJA Board in my other suit.

Most normal people with a life can't be here 24/7.

Sorry I can't find my "Posting Police" graphics. Maybe next time.

Juanita broaderick
Paula jones
Kathleen Wiley

And various other women victimized by the sexual assaulter in chief that spoke as the nations truth teller for the party for women.

The only problem I have with feminists is their hatred for women.
