This sort of demographic polling has been going on for a long time. It’s perfectly normal. That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing necessarily - but it is normal. Demographics is actually a subject people major in, in college.
If women will vote for Hitlery just because she is a woman then I say its time the vote was taken away from women (and I’m a woman!).
Right after they pass a law forcing sissies to smoke...
What has been wrong for many years is the interpretation of the “gender gap” in elections. And it is still wrong to focus on trends among female voters without also looking at trends among male voters. Males have been leaving the Democratic Party at about the same rate females are reportedly joining. No word yet on whether those men will support the Republican Party however, since Republicans have gone to such extreme efforts to show their hatred of men is equal to the Democrats. That puts the Republica Party in a bit of a bind.
I don’t have an answer to that one. You can leave a post with the question on MensNewsDaily where the article appears and there’s a good chance you’ll get a response from the author of the article.
We also didn’t get a 12.5% swing from 1996 to 2000. I don’t doubt that there are liberal legislative aides working for conservative politicians or liberal court clerks working for conservative jurists. I seriously doubt there are many closet liberals working for the Heritage Foundation. The author is overstating the importance of the Monica issue.
It wouldn’t surprise me however that such an unjustice would not be covered by the old media. If something has been published, it will more likely be somewhere in the free press zone of the internet.
Yeah, those Republicans straightened right up after their big losses in '06. /s
100 percent? I don't think so.
Hillary has made me do something that I though was impossible-- feel sorry for Slick.
There have certainly been a long list of “liberals” working for Congress and in the White House since the days of Reagan - himself a very far left-leaning closet liberal. Ronald Haskins headed the Republican’s congressional team in the House Ways & Means Committee on welfare reform for many years; with about the farthest left-wing approach imaginable. That eventually led to the legal elimination of the institution of marriage by federal decree and billions annually in pork-barrel funding.
It’s an odd thing in politics, but possibly nowhere more common than in the US of A: you either hate them or adore them. Right now, a significant number of women think she’s adorable.
That will change. Women aren’t as stupid as some think they are.
See #39 and #46
Uh, maybe. But there may be just as many women who would vote for a guy because he's a guy. I'd think it would be a wash.
That trend isn’t showing up in the polls. It would have to be tested by say - Rudy Guliani or whoever - making a big thing about how he’s a man and that’s better than being a woman - or some such thing. I’ll be surprised if we see that.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there are people running focus groups to look into it.
Points missed here:
Crime #1: Groping, fondling, having sex with people who work for you. This would be blatant sexual harassment in any other office setting except, I guess, the Oval Office.
Crime #2: Lying about it.
