Many Single Women, A Key Bloc, Are Avoiding GOP [Unmarried Women Voted 67% Obama to 31% Romney!]

DENVER (AP) — Sara Stevenson spends her working hours surrounded by Republicans, namely the married men who work alongside her in a Denver oil and gas firm company. But after hours and on weekends, she usually spends her time with other single women, and there's not a Republican in sight among the bunch.

"There was just no way I could have supported any Republican this year," said Stevenson, 31. "They skew so much to the religious right. ... They focused so much on taxes. It's not something that women in my demographic really care about. I've never heard my friends lament their taxes."

As Republicans dust off their Election Day drubbing last month, their party must confront the reality that the ranks of unmarried women are growing rapidly, and these voters overwhelmingly have backed Democrats for decades.

In my estimation, no.

It might have seemed a good idea at the time, but then the same people who rallied for the 19th also were running their jaws endlessly about booze and they rammed through the 18th Amendment as well.

We all know how stupid that turned out to be. And make no mistake about it - prohibition was an issue fomented by women.

In Wyoming, we still have to put up with sermonizing women, cajoling us on the evils of drink. They’re the most tedious whinges you could hope to meet. They have the state’s liquor license laws turned into such a convoluted pretzel that it hampers the opening of restaurants. Bars are easier to open than a restaurant that serves booze. But will they change the law?

Nooooo.

I’m certainly not going to accuse you of ignoring me. You’re, of course, free to ignore me.

As for your idea:

Having talked with many females in southern Colorado (Los Animas County, if one wants to be specific) after this election, I’m convinced that the Republicans are talking inside an echo chamber. They do not understand how far the political culture of the US has devolved into bread, circuses and (specifically for women) obsession with their reproductive organs.

Women (especially older women) rightly excoriate men for “thinking with their reproductive organs” when they look at women and don’t think past her appearance. The irony is that women are being told to explicitly think with their reproductive organs - exclusively. And many do.

So to men I say “Go ahead - think with your wing-wang. Objectify her. She probably doesn’t have a brain anyway.”

Men (real men, anyway) are programmed to provide. Part of how we get the girl we want is to look like a good provider. We’re programmed to win at contests, including “who gets the bigger paycheck?”

Well, women’s biological programming is different. They’re programmed for hypergamy. They want to be provided for. Never mind this feminist codswallop otherwise. Even Gloria “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” Steinem married a rather wealthy man. Sandra Fluke’s boyfriend? A very rich European red-diaper baby. Feminists lie on this topic endlessly. They talk a good game, but in the end, they’ll open their knees to the guy with the biggest wallet - just like most women. It’s biological programming by evolution.

But since so many women have drunk deeply of the feminist kool-aid, this biological programming manifests itself in the candidate that can a) hand out the most money and benefits and b) the one who demands the least compliance in the form of their personal behavior.

There’s an interesting experiment I like to run on people I meet in public: Ask them “how many millions in a trillion?” The number of women I’ve met in public and of whom I’ve asked this question and received a correct answer I can count on my fingers (sans thumbs) - out of dozens and dozens of women of voting age asked. It isn’t that they have not read the Federalist Papers, or many of the political treatises and books surrounding the formation of our republic that annoys me so much. Many men haven’t done that either. Thanks to the educrats in schools, we now have a nation of political morons as our electorate.

It is that they have *no clue* how much the government they want will cost. None. They conflate “debt” and “deficit” in the same sentence, they have no idea that women are the vast unfunded liability in Medicare (men die earlier and visit doctors less) and women who give birth on the taxpayer’s dime are a huge financial burden to the taxpayer. Of this, almost no women have a clue.

Now, this is partly the demographic I’m dealing with here in Los Animas County, CO, which was one of the very first counties in the US to jump on LBJ’s “Great Society” with both feet. In this county, I’d reckon that 45% of households are on welfare or the dole. This county is so economically retarded that they wouldn’t know a good business idea if it leapt up and bit them on their noses.

There isn’t much difference in voting patterns between this county and most counties on the coasts of the US, or in major urban areas of the US. In some major urban areas I’ve lived (Los Angeles, for example), the women are more physically attractive than Los Animas County, but just as vapid and ignorant of economic and political issues.

Putting up a pretty boy for a candidate isn’t going to convince these women to vote for him. They’re swayed by a) who is going to give them the most money (hypergamy) because they don’t want to get married, and b) who is going to give them the most license to screw around without consequence. Neither one of those criteria are going to be satisfied by a GOP candidate who makes it through the primaries.

“The Senate was an ass whooping. It was a disaster. Maybe we should have seen it coming after the disappointment of the 2010 Senate races. Taken together, the lost opportunities for 2010 & 2012 would equal a solid GOP majority if things had gone our way.”

The GOP as currently constituted is heading toward extinction. Articles like this one offer the dubious solution of selling out conservative principles because they are currently unpopular.

While we are waiting for something better to come along I suggest that in 2016 the GOP not nominate anybody for president. Focus all resources on achieving control of both houses of congress. Dem voters could then vote for their uterus at the presidential level and maybe vote for somebody with a brain down-ballot. IOW’s treat the presidential election year like a mid-term election.
