.. many women are taking a good hard look at the May/December thingI grieves me to say this, but I have heard this from several right-thinking women in my office. It's just so foreign to me.
As is the younger-male demographic leaning to Romney. It must be a metrosexual thing.
BTW, you saved the best for last on your homepage : )
It's been moved up to January 3rd: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1912183/posts
Ron Paul is running for the looser time to speak at the convention.
Just like Jessie Jackson did at his ridiculous run.
You know...I've been married 36 years and I would certainly never hold against a man the right to begin a new family if that is what he wants. Fred seems like a very gentle yet strong man, good husband and father. Mitt Romney is just too slick for me, too prepackaged, and makes me uncomfortable.
As for Jeri choosing a much older man, she looks very much in love when she looks at him. After the age of 40, what does it matter? I saw Judy Giuliani in her interview last night. Sorry she doesnt have what it takes to make a great first lady. In my opinion, it is due to her lack of interest in politics and her role as the other woman in Rudys previous marriage.
Fred Thompson is the only choice for me. Fred is the WE THE PEOPLE candidate. We asked him to run...and he stepped up!
Guiliani = Defeat.
Guiliani = Third party candidate
No Guiliani = no problem
Where are you pulling that figure on women? The only Guiliani support of women that I have seen has been RINO women who don’t like christians having a say in the party.
Why? FRed has almost no money and very little time invested in Iowa. Mitt has tons of both. A strong second for FRed in Iowa would show the always salivating pundits how weak Mitt is. They would go for the jugular. About the only thing I can think of that would truly hurt FRed is losing in South Carolina, and THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!
Just like Clinton, he could harass, rape, perjure but it just didn't matter because he'd keep abortion legal...
and they have a kinder view of candidates who move thier mistresses into the Mayoral home where the soon-to-be ex-wife lives with the children?
The Thompson with 10% of the women is from the Rasmussen article, which I quoted, which is why it is in italics. You see, it is a convention at FR to put quotes in italics.
What's with the Giuliani references? The article states that all the candidates poll more evenly among men and women, save for Thompson. The ladies don't like Thompson for some reason, and this I am sure has nothing to do with his nubile mate.
I don’t think that this is RINO HQ, but there are an awful lot of folks here who are willing to compromise on core beliefs just for the sake of a so-called “viable” anti-Hillary candidate.
Not saying Thompson will be a disappointment, but he has yet to strike me as a guy who really wants to lead the country in a return to conservative values.
If he wins, I hope that I’ll be presently surprised.
Maybe more women need to hear FROM Jeri Thompson, and not just ABOUT her from the misleading MSM.
She's intelligent, gracious and articulate ~ a huge asset for Thompson.
She definitely helped influence my support for Fred.
They usually don’t even have any information on Duncan Hunter. Wonder why he rated this mention? 1% is miniscule.
In many ways, it's simply fear. "My husband will leave me for a younger woman with big chi chi's if we elect Thompson". That's the logic. Fact of the matter is if he's gonna leave you, he'll leave you for anyone. Even Fred.
sure, voters prefer candidates to have wives who are ugly shrivelled up nags who go through life as a first class witch.
By that logic of the article then Fred has the men’s vote locked.
Input from a woman:
I’ve been a conservative woman all of my adult life because of homeschooling and children and being married to a vet. I think a woman with a brain who thinks logically would be a conservative.
I admit to a small amount of illogical thinking i.e. Fred looks like my father in law did while he was alive, I have no good pictures of my FIL so I collect Fred pictures. So, illogically I like how Fred looks. His wife is a beautiful lady [wasn’t sure about that at first]. Fred [illogically] looks alive with Jeri and the children with him which I feel good about.
More than anything though is the logical mind, I agree with his thoughts and principles and things he stands for. That counts for a lot more.
A lot of younger women that I know of go on feelings and emotions and can’t think straight. I don’t like being around such females.
But Jeri Thompson is a firm conservative, I can really like that.
You really think the people of Iowa are going to be climbing all over themselves to support a guy who never made the effort to show up, never addressed them, who ducks out of interviews, and is at best weak on social issues? And the border?
Not likely.
