Does not speak well for the fairer sex. What about strongly approve, and somewhat disapprove?

Men are more likely to be out of work, too.

trend identified when Bubba Clinton ran...large number of single mothers out there who have been trained to look to the Government for support (because they can’t rely on a man to do it)

One of the dirty little secrets is that men are selectively the ones out of work.

Plus women watch Lifetime TV and MSNBC and have no clue about thereal world.

This is going to get me in trouble. From “As Good as it Gets” w/ Jack Nicholson:

“Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall {Nicholson}: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.”

Because most women care more about American Idol or Dancing With The Stars and less about politics? Plus, many of them still get their news from Oprah.

Notice I did not say ALL women.

“Women don’t have the same innate abilities in math and science as men” - Larry Summers

therefore, they cant figure out that with Obama we are spending ourselves into oblivion.

It’s just the Summers Hypothesis

I’m a women and I hate to say it but....in general, women aren’t engaged in current events. The good news is the ones that are engaged tend to be conservative. I’ve also noticed that conservative women are extremely attractive to real men...not the girly-mans.

Same reason more men vote against liberalism.

Men are more realistic and note logic and empiricism.

Women are more moved by emotion and feel impotent and more open to a larger being protecting them.

After suffrage, they resisted the siren call but eventually suffrage gave ugly women the power to act out on being unwanted by a male and angry about it.

And they have with a vengeance.

It's debatable what has destroyed more of our culture:

Feminism or Racial Redress, the twin sisters of evil in the culture war.

Married White Women with kids are maybe the only female demographic that resists this on par with men.

It has always been so, ever since they got the vote, according to John Lott (he of "More Guns, Less Crime" fame):

Women's Suffrage Over Time

Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?

Zerobama has managed to direct most of the pain of this recession on the backs of his "enemies"; Republicans, men, small business, flyover country , private industry. A couch potatoe revolution, simply brilliant.

No trouble from ME. I’m a woman and I agree with you. I’ll go you one even better by posing these rhetorical questions: Is there a DOWN side to women voting? Did many of our political troubles begin with women’s suffrage?

Men are 53% “birthers, the fanatics, [and] the people running around in right-wing militias and Aryan support groups. It is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist,”

Only 39% of women are so prejudiced.
