To Claim Virginia, Obama’s Hopes Rest On Women

By Karen Tumulty and Scott Clement September 19

In a presidential election where women’s issues have taken a more prominent role than many expected, the crucial swing state of Virginia is becoming the Grand Canyon of gender gaps.

A new Washington Post survey indicates that President Obama holds a 19 percentage-point lead (58 to 39) among likely women voters in the commonwealth, yet is running six points behind Republican nominee Mitt Romney among men who are likely to vote (44 to 50). That support from women is the reason the president now enjoys an eight-point advantage overall in Virginia.

Virginia is a state Mitt Romney is fighting hard to win, but the latest poll shows the president holding a steady lead. But, the big surprise is President Obama is beating Romney on Romney's core issue - the economy.

There has long been a disparity between women and men in their voting patterns — a phenomenon first identified and named the “gender gap” during Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

This year, however, ginning up female support has become an imperative for Obama in his reelection bid. Across the electoral map, the Obama campaign is banking on women to offset an expected loss to Romney among men

It was a woman who fell for the serpent’s lies and deception in the beginning. Sounds similar to our lying president and the rest of the dims and rinos.

Or perhaps ?

The highly educated white liberal women who vote democrat,
who claim that Republicans and white people in general are racists,
who pretend to be for the poor, and for the poor in the inner cities ?

Actually live in nice high affluent neighborhoods in northern Virgina,

And ?

Hell would freeze over if they were caught living in the 3rd world crap holes of D.C. and metropolitan D.C./Baltimore areas... i.e. Anne Arundel county, Prince Georges county.

Putting it simply ?

White liberal women are the biggest hypocrites in this world.

How do I know this as a fact ?

Because I know a few of them, they claim to be all things liberal and for the black people, but, their racism shines when no one if looking.

“Alone, single, older without kids, most often divorced, and lonely — that’s mostly what I see as I work with and encouter a lot of older women — and they ain’t all that happy, from what I can tell.”

The causes that many women support politically are often the reasons why no guy in his right mind would marry them. Guys don’t want somebody who will butcher a baby in the womb, rob him of his future earnings for decades if the marriage doesn’t work, and have some strange guy living in his former house with his children. There is simply little reason for a guy today to legally expose himself to marriage or fatherhood. I’ve been married over 15 years, with kids, but the wife isn’t American or “progressive” - she’s old-school.

Liberal women are coming to find out that the grass was not greener on the other side, the problem is ? their fun in the sun has effected all of us, all of society for the few who wanted their fun.

“Well the problem, with all sorts of people, is that plenty of people, man or woman, really don’t get the big picture nowadays.”

Men see the picture all too clearly; many of the men of today are the sons of the men of the last generation who lost everything as families fell apart (with the helping hand of government). There is simply no way to convince them that there is an upside to marriage and families, especially at a time when it is difficult for a white man to get an education, a job, or a promotion; this is the natural result of basing these things on vaginas and melanin rather than merit/ablity.

“Procrastination or dodging the concept of commitment and/or responsibility for some future time, only to find out that once you finally want to do it, it’s become so hard to do it.”

Men’s opportunites grow, not diminish, with time (and they can have kids when they are 70). Also, younger men can choose an imported bride to provide them with the families native women defer or outright refuse to bear.

“The whole cohabitation issue is perhaps one of the biggest ones out there, add that to rampant personal bankruptcy, and the aging crisis, as you pointed out, and we’re pretty much due for a worldwide “natural selection” event.”

Cohabitation skirts the whole alimony issue, and for guys is a rational reaction to girlfriends who won’t bear them children anyway (until they’re 40 and want one to play with). The natural selection event is hapening today across the United States; the breeding imports are inheriting the earth, while the Americans buy new cars and iPhones instead.

These trends are changing the demographics of this country at a rapid rate; we can see around us today what was forecast to come about in 2050.

They have found out what it is like to be a man, and they realize that it sucks. I work with liberal women who pretend to be hard-working professionals, but still are gone by 4:00 pm - hardly the overworked yuppies. They have no children, but instead create fake families around pets and Facebook; they really resent the traditional women who go home to a loving human family every day.

" Single white women temperamentally unsuited for marriage? "
Would the definition of that be ? forbidden to procreate or unsuitable to marry any man ?

Much like the dating world.

The only line left out is the one about...

“Girl, you may have to support me.”

I think ? the poster meant, that yes ? procreation was a part of it, but, making a living, providing for the family, keeping the marriage together was the other part of what becomes harder to do as you get older..... unless ? you married into money.... no, wait, marriage in this day and age is difficult, especially if the 2 people were not meant to be together.

I certainly didn’t marry into money; I married someone who had the same faith and culture I was raised with (albeit with a different laguage). The only way for a guy to make 100% sure he doesn’t marry someone he’s not meant to be with is to not get married (in the same manner as abstinence is the only 100% effective “birth control”); America’s young men have taken that lesson to heart.

The US government and feminists have waged a cultural war on families for decades; now women are mad that they “won” (and lost everything, including their country, in the process).

For these liberated women, La La land was not what it was cracked up to be... not so green after all.

It really stinks when they went after their La La land dream, even though ? they were warned about the severe consequences, forged ahead anyway for decades only to come and find out that those people who warned them decades ago were right after all, but, can't turn back time.

“they were warned about the severe consequences, forged ahead anyway for decades only to come and find out that those people who warned them decades ago were right after all, but, can’t turn back time.”

Yu’re right, but they won’t even be honest about what’s causing it. Instead, they will turn a bling eye to television shows and commercials showing men as stupid, childish, uncaring, etc. (things you would never be allowed to portray women or the “protected” minorities as). The only good “fathers” on TV are the saps shown happily caring for some other guys brood as he moves in with the unwed mother; apparently none of these guys want biological children of their own.

These idiots, remnants of a dying culture, think that showing happy outcomes on television will actually change reality; the contrast between the America shown on TV and the America that surrounds us every day, has never been more pronounced.

I guess those Feminist may have won as for their emancipation and independence, they are mad that in the end, the man still has the power to choose to marry or not, unless ? he is tricked into marring a woman.

I once told a well educated snob stuck up woman that is very picky that ? picky women become old maids.
The culture of the liberal women today tell them the lie that " the woman " can have it all.

I know one thing ?

When I look back and take a look at the women I was interested in ?
and then see them now ?
I am so glad I was passed over and have waited.
No, wait, GOD was in charge in whom I would marry and God was in charge in HIS time when I would marry.

God kept me from being married to the wrong woman.

You see ?

Those women who " want it all " who are stuck up, I just laugh at them, don't pay them any attention, don't give a crap ( another term of, being indifferent ) because ?

I know that GOD has the right one for me in his perfect timing.

I know exactly what I don't want.

I am so glad I am not married now, or perhaps ?
If I married 20 years ago ? I would be divorced and paying alimony and child support.

I am content if GOD were to allow me to die a single man.. I am fine with that... no regrets.
