The Democrats Have a Marriage Problem

Politics: This fall, Democrats will no doubt resurrect the "war on women" theme to try to hold the Senate. But they don't really care about all women, just the unmarried ones. The IBD/TIPP poll shows why.

According to the Washington Post, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is building a huge computer database that will let it predict women's marital status.

That way they can "pinpoint unmarried women as the target of specific, poll-test messages," according to one source quoted in the story.

Despite all the talk among Democrats and the media about the "gender gap" that has supposedly resulted from what they say are Republicans' anti-women policies, the real gap is between married and single women.

Democrats cultivate the abortion-loving unmarried woman who apparently wants to die alone, and the lesbian, who demands to be recognized as “normal.” There’s not much of a future in that base, so they want to make up for that deficit by getting the illegals to vote Democrat.

The GOP has a problem:

1. Single women should be told that their jobs are being taken by illegal aliens, but the stupid Rino Wing will be busy telling them that illegal immigrants steal their jobs out of “love”

2. Single women should be told that ObamaCare is also stealing their jobs by taking all the extra money that employers have that they normally use to hire people, but the stupid Rino Wing will instead be trying to “fix” ObamaCare for Barry.

Yes. What we see here is that the Democratic Party has a vested interest in single women, and in keeping women both single and dependent upon government as their surrogate husbands.

That’s what the whole “life of Julia” thing was all about, right?

Every policy put out by the Dems needs to be analyzed, interpreted and countered appropriately based on this.

I remember the great society programs which encouraged if not required divorce. When people realized the trick of just being divorced, the government programs then required proof of separate residences.

They are winning their fair share of married 30 something women too. At least that is what I see in my family.

Every sexual freak of nature, every hater, every demagogue, every atheist, every Satan worshipper, every socio/psychopath, is welcomed, without question, open arms, into the democrat Party.

And there seem more and more Republicans of the same ilk.

indeed... marriage and birth is rape... but dont you dare criticize gay marriage and abortion for what it really is...

In other word the message is this: whether it is love or marriage or even gays, it seems it always vote democrats and government at the end pf the synthesis.

How convenient.

I am not trying to be sexist here, but a woman's role is to have babies, that is what they are made for and what most want.

I now live in Thailand, Thai women do not have issues with what I said. I have a 7 month old daughter, she is my wife's pride and joy. Plus 3 other adult female dolt on the baby.

Me as a guy, I was terrified to pick up the baby for the first 3 months. My God, what if I hurt her by holding too tight? Women don't have that issue, all of them want to hold the baby.

So my wife's life if made by having a baby, I am really proud, but not like the wife.

I have decided to be politically incorrect and teach my daughter that she needs to chose a man that will take care of her and their children. Go for loyalty and support, not mad passionate love.

Single women who don’t anticipate marrying shortly are PROFOUNDLY dependent upon the government. They depend upon welfare, upon affirmative action, upon anti-discrimination and sexual harassment enforcement, alimony and child support enforcement, other people’s taxes to carry their minor tax payments, and hugely disproportionately are either government employees or do the private and non-profit sector make-work that is demanded by the government (HR, compliance, etc.) The number of single women who actually carry their proportionate tax burden from real private sector work is certainly well under 1 million and probably much smaller than that.

As long as ten of them cast 10x the votes of the one married man who supports them all (directly or indirectly) we’re going to have a big problem.
