Romney’s Women Split: Single vs. Married


      Single, female parents have generally made poor choices in life that have probably condemned them to either years of poverty or toil. In contrast, traditional married women have made wise choices in life and are benefiting from their good consequences. Single women are losers because they are unable to enter into a relationship or stay married in one and become divorced, often several times. Call it the Elizabeth Burton syndrom. Losers want to blame someone for their lot in life and Obama is their man. Thats why Mitt Romney, a Mormon, has a "gender gap". As a matter of fact, so do I.

    • of course single people prefer obama: no responsibility, no goals, no accountability.... they're traveling, partying, dropping a hundred bucks on a bb game, singing al green...birds of a feather. let's hope they're all really hung over on election day.

    • I don't know how he can win if he can't get the poor people to vote for him, it's funny to think i even concerd Voting for someone who refussed to answer the Q&A from the same people who will either be for him or agianst him.I'm Poor and disapointed in what's going on and if,They think just there middleclass life can't down the Drain then there very misstake 'en. It will cost them a win in 2012.I had concerd'ed voting for Mr.Romney but if he can't even answer the poor how in hell will he sole the problem's of a corrution through out goverment.I would reather vote agian for Mr. Obama then Vote for a Mormon who had four Grandmothers...Jee how many wife's dose he have.????

    • Oh, good grief. Does this account for gay people in big cities? That's a big, very largely unmarried group that is likely to take issue with the ideology of the Republican party at this time. Add to that middle-income divorced people - yes, with children, households to manage, and responsibilities just like married people do - who are slammed in this economy. Also, add in people who choose not to marry. "Welfare mothers" are not the ones out voting in droves. It's people like college students and new graduates. Married people do better in this country in part because the system is set up to "encourage" people to marry and penalize people who don't.

    • The more the truth about Romney, Obama, and the economy is known, the better Romney will do. That's the key to this election. Everything else is just a distraction.

      The public is terribly misinformed about the state of the tax code, regulations, the economy, and the history of all of these. This leads to self-defeating voting.

    • Doesn't matter. Women aren't going to vote Republican after the way you've disrespected them during this primary process. Santorum forced Romney to tack to the right, and Mitt did nothing to put him in his place. Just another battle in the GOP's war against women. Lotsa luck, he-men-women-hater's-club, because the ladies GOTV.

    • Just another example of the GOP's war against women.

    • Young unmarried people are more likely to want to avoid being stuck with an unplanned child. Republicans and their agenda of social tyranny are more likely to turn them off

    • An interesting way of slicing the data, but I would be hesitant to call it substantial unless adjusting for age, religious background. I would expect those to have a more dominant relationship and they are going to be highly correlated with marriage.

    • Ah..can we lok at the demographics of those single women. Of the huge per cent that support Obama what per cent are unmarried African Americans with children, on welfare or are desperate for free health care?

    • You's Guys are funny And its sad but true We aren't that's because of corruption. Most are misinfromed That's What's Sad most of all. It's the system that has been put in place.It should be change and i vote for Mr. Obama And was misinformed that's why i had concerd to vote for Mr. Romney But he's know diffrent then all the other's in the Republican Party. They have never care about the Poor and i hate when I'm Proven wrong but the facts speak for them self.That why there is welfare Because of greed. Being from a middle class Family I'm now on welfare due realy think the Rich care hell no they wants us on welfare look how they run the system .Can you live 322.00 Dallors a MO.??? Can you rent on that..I don't think So ,At lease Our President is trying to due the best he can so we have to give him his point's..He earnd them... And At lease He Has not given up on the poor.... I don't hear Romney saying anything about the more or his concerds for anyone but the uper class he run's with. How many people did he lay off??? How many people did he put on Wefare. How many Gay people did he help??? How many Grandmothers did have...What about the wife's We only know of one????Look enough there is no one other then Ron Paul that could turn this around.And he can't even get Delegate's Rick Should have stay In but .But he did a perry...It's all a joke.

    • The amount of whistle-dog racism and ignorant preconceived notions in the comments are both hilarious and sad. Keep it up though.

    • The gender gap, and marriage gap, has been consistently high since I started paying attention to politics. The MSM has always made a big deal about it but Republicans keep winning, and losing. The real question isn't the size of the gap but how it compares to years Republicans won and years Republicans lost. But an analysis like that would require actual work, and may show that Romney isn't in as much trouble as the MSM would like us to think. Of course it may show that Romney is in big trouble.

    • Cutting to the chase, the real difference between Obama and Romney is that more homosexuals prefer Obama, where, more heterosexuals prefer Romney. And since minorities typically have more children out of wedlock and therefore unmarried, they more often than not support Obama.

    • Let's see - the single women need some gov'mint money! They have to have Obama, because they won't get it with Romney. Additionally, most single people are YOUNG and more likely to support Obama.

      These groups are also more likely NOT to vote. Thank goodness.

    • It's obvious that Obama looks at the economy as nothing but a talking point to cover up during the campaign. He would love to have people believe as he does that women are too simple minded to concern themselves over "man issues".

      So it's not the women vote he's after, it's the idiot vote he needs to carry.

    • I'm willing to bet next week's lottery winnings that their are more single, non-black women on welfare than 'black' women on welfare. Thank you for the idiots that continue to spew lies about Obama winning just because of poor, single black women. I'm not voting for him because of his policies. How about trying to keep the conversation relevant and truthful.

    • Married Americans have significantly better wellbeing than those who are separated or divorced. Those who are married have a Well-Being Index score of 68.8 compared with 59.7 for the divorced and 55.9 for those who are separated.

    • Commenters seem to miss the point that the Census Bureau counts women as young at 15 in the married/single split consequently the singles skew young. Most are single not because of bad decisions but because of their age. Not a whole lot of married 15 year olds out there.

    • @Anom, it is always like that... i feel mostly sorry for people like that. Because they let ethnicity cloud their judgment, instead of making critical arguements about real issues.

    • Single, married tall or short, blonde or brunet, blue eyed or brown eyed,light skinned or dark skinned or any
      in between color it matters not there is a war on women. If any women doubt it the perfect example is
      equal pay for equal work. Ladies, next time you look at your pay check compared to the guys when equal
      work is involved !!

    • I will forever be grateful for the wonderful woman I married more than 20 years ago. I'm more free, more fulfilled, and simply better because of her. Without her I would not be complete.

    • I didn't make it past the first comment.

      @ H. Craig Bradley

      That is the most vile, rancid screed I have ever had the misfortune to read.

    • That's curious; from what I can tell, the anti-single women remarks are from conservative men. Guess it's part of their long and proud tradition to be stupid.

    • Just stating facts, boy. Me and my family like to keep it close so we can trust each other and can rely on each other as the End of Times approaches, that's why I married by sister.

    • Darren, if there is that many poor people who speak English as poorly as you there will be a huge communication gap. That is exactly why liberal democrats encourage illegal immigration to create these huge demographic rifts. America is in deep trouble because of these uneducated, non English speaking populations.
      There is no immigration policy that protects America against these problems. It is certainly similar to the barbarians that sacked the Roman Empire. They will bring u.s. down if left to the treachery of the leftist liberal Democrats. It seems that there is very little patriotism amongst illegals, immigrants and unmarried women. I have witnessed it first hand and have been taking my own polls. What should we do if so many are against the American way of life, liberty, economic freedom? Someone has allowed this to happen. It certainly did not happen by chance. There is supposed to be at least 70 or more card carrying communist party members in congress and probably others that would like to disguise their intentions. Obama openly and blatantly shows by all he does that he is a Marxist/socialist. There can be no doubt about it.
      H. Craig Bradley make excellent points as well as the first 2 anonymous comments. But continue asking yourself why the polls show specifically unmarried women are of issue here. You will get no help from the media as they are heavily biased toward the Obama and the left. The media has no intention of helping America prosper. Young women and unmarried women have never had any strong patriotic role models but what is more I don't believe they can be true patriots in any country. They are too obsessed with notions of love and could likely be wooed by any man from any country. But that is the nature of the female, they at most will only be as strong as the men they are surrounded by. Their parents are often so distracted and without time to garner appreciation for patriotic thought. Their children are often lost in rebellion and confusion, bombarded by the trash of Hollywood, swarmed by electronic and inter-net greedy commercialism. No one to guide them with love or care. This is why the young and unmarried women of America might as well be colony of new immigrants seeking a radically different father figure. They are truly vulnerable and desperate grasping at anything that gives them a sense of identity and power. But rebellion and desperate need for love is at the core. As we can see, one of the remedies is through the process of maturation and finding happiness in creating and growing a family. This is where men have a special role of responsibility. Patriotism should run deep in a mans blood by nature. It is up to him to guide and protect the women and mother of his children. Of course the feminists will hear nothing of this. They have obviously accomplished good things but continue on a political rampage, unendingly screaming about equality to the point of sickening communist ideology. They work frenetically to break free of the bonds of nature to the detriment of all Americans. So it may be up to you men young and old to join in companionship with these unmarried women commune with them, love them, share with them and teach, and learn with them. Show them America the Beautiful.

    • romney will have a difficult time with women because of his views on abortion and contraception. there isn't much he can do about it either unless he is willing to anger the conservative base. he wants to get rid of planned parenthood for example....that sort of stance will not get him many female votes.

    • It is AGE, people! Married people tend to be older and WISER. Our children are subjected to liberalism in school and college and it takes awhile for them to learn how the real world actually works. If the voting age was raised to 35 (as is the requirement to be President...why is that?) a lot of our problems would be solved. I am old enough now (41) to know that I knew nothing at 18!

    • I would bet that their are fundamental differences in the life style and values between the majority of married and unmarried women that predispose them politically. In other words the majority of single women will always vote for the Democrat regardless of which candidate the Republican chose.Pursuing the vote of unmarried women is as futile for the Republican candidate as chasing union or african american votes .

    • Within Single people demographics you have homossexuals, welfare recipients and young people brainwashed by the secular-socialist complex of media and education. You can bet those cohorts are voting Obama by upwards of 80%. I say rather than focus efforts on them, increase the advantage among married couples in the battleground states. Romney must get better with married women than he is now.

    • As we've already seen from 2008, Obama garners most of his support from the losers, layabouts and uninformed. Nothing new here. He is truly their Pied Piper, promising them something for nothing. What is most disturbing, though, is just how many people occupy this segment of our society.

    • Come November, women will remember which party stands for cutting healthcare funding for women, repealing equal-pay legislation, closing Planned Parenthood, forcing invasive penetration upon rape victims seeking abortions, etc. If not, Rush Limbaugh will remind them that they are prostitutes if they want reproductive health care included in their insurance. Vote with your feet, ladies. You own half the money, and ALL the good-good.

    • I'm a young, single, white, female professional working in the financial services industry and these comments perfectly demonstrate why I would never vote for Romney. Why would I want to be affiliated with people like Commenter #1? I don't have a baby. I'm not on welfare. I make <$100K per year. It may be in my financial best interest to vote Republican, but I could never vote for a party that wants to mandate teaching creationism and abstinence. That's just stupid.

    • why he is the real loser ...

    • I believe Obama supporters--perhaps even paid campaign staffers--are posing as Republicans and writing offensive dreck, such as the first post in this string, which appears to have been written by the Democrats' perfect specimen of a Republican stereotype..

      I also believe that Obama supporters are posing as Republicans to make vicious verbal attacks on moderates and Indie voters, such as myself, in order to offend and anger us so much that we decide not to vote for a Republican as President.

      Otherwise, why in the world would any Republican who wants Obama to not be re-elected write things that are offensive and perfectly match the Demorats' stereotypes?

      Why would any Republican who wants Obama not to be re-elected attack the moderate and Independent voters and women who'll decide this race?

      The answer is: Republicans wouldn't.

      But Obama's supporters and campaign staffers would, based on all the flip flopping and lie telling that they and Obama himself have done, especially since January.

      To you folks on the Left, you should pay attention to what President Obama says versus what he does and has done.

      Based on the critical race theory that Obama taught as a professor, Obama wants the U.S. to go bankrupt. He wants the U.S.'s wealth to be redistributed worldwide. He wants us to know what Third World nations have felt for centuries.

      Obama and others who've bought into critical race theory are teaching people of color that America has no shortage of jobs, money, natural resources or anything else.

      Obama et al. have taught that, if people of color are lacking something, it's because of a white Western and Japanese consipiracy to deny them of that job, home, money, natural resources, power, etc.

      Based on what Obama taught in college, he wants a weak America that knows what Third World countries have felt for centuries.

      That means all Americans will suffer under the America that Obama envisions--no matter what our ethnicity, sex, age, faith, non-faith, etc., are.

      It's because Obama wants a weak America that he acts as if he's not worried a bit about the $6 trillion he'll have added to U.S. debt before November. (U.S. debt total is now $15.677, up $5.2 trillion since Obama took office in January 2009.)

      It's because Obama wants a weak America that he has said that he wants to share our more critical defense and communications technology with human-rights violators Russia and China.

      That's why Obama has allowed the sale of missile defense systems and myriad arms to several Middle East countries--though he's not publicly said what else he's promising them post-election.

      That Obama wants to weaken our ability to defend ourselves while helping strengthen the military of emerging countries and human-rights violators should be of great concern to all of us--especially women, gays and people of faith who've been targeted for oppression in those countries.

      It's because Obama wants a weak America that he's allowed the sell-off of our critical natural resource companies and assets to foreigners, including human-rights violator China and its foreign partners.

      That's why Obama has allowed the sale of our bankrupt green companies to foreigners.

      How can we control the cost of energy if foreigners own our own natural resources or even green companies?

      Obama has allowed foreigners to produce our energy here and then ship it directly overseas without our ever having a chance to buy it on the open market.

      Given another term, Obama will allow more foreigners to have first rights to our natural resources and our grain and meat crops.

      Already, foreigners pay more for our beef, pork, soybeans and corn than we can afford, so there's less and less incentive for farmers to sell those products here.

      For the first time since World War II, the U.S. is a net exporter of gasoline, heating fuel and diesel.

      To you environmentalists, does that sound like something a green President would want?

      Obama doesn't care about the pollution.

      He cares about ensuring that anyone but Americans benefit from our abundant natural resources so that we know what Third World countries have felt for centuries.

      If given a second term, Obama will ensure that we know exaclty how Third World nations feel.

      We will be competing with the world for our own fuel and food--while foreigners get rich from the sales of our fuel and food.

      Obama's striving to redistribute U.S. wealth and reduce our power in the world is also why he recently nominated unqualified Dr. Kim to head of the World Bank. Obama knew that the BRICS nations would been deeply offended when Dr. Bell was selected over the far more qualified Nigerian and Columbian candidates.

      Obama knew this because, before he'd nominated Dr. Bell, news articles had said that the Nigerian and Columbian candidates were so qualified that Obama had better selected an extraordinarily qualified individual to head the World Bank. Instead, Obama selected someone who was unqualified.

      Obama intentionally embarassed the United States and has put us in a position to reliquish power over the World Bank--even though we provide 60% funding.

      Does Obama really think that Americans want to give money to the World Bank if we can't ensure that the money isn't given to corrupt leaders or even terrorists?.

      Already BRICS nations have called for a change in the way the World Bank head is selected. And they've said they wouldn't give money to the IMF to bail out the Europian Union unless they're given more power in the IMF, too.

      Obama wants the U.S. to provide 60% of the money to the World Bank--but for the U.S. not to have control over where our money goes.

      There are so many things that Obama has done to weaken the United States that I could write for days about his failures.

      Instead, I ask you to please pay attention to the vast gulf between his words versus his actions. (Ironically, Obama has been appropriating the language of Romney and the Republicans lately in order to confuse voters and to make them think there's no difference between him and Romney.)

      If you want to understand Obama better, please read Pierre Orelus' RETHINKING RACE, CLASS, LANGUAGE, AND GENDER: A DIALOGUE WITH NOAM CHOMSKY AND OTHER LEADING SCHOLARS.

      If you don't want U.S. wealth redistributed worldword and if you don't want to know how it feels to live in Third World nation and compete with the word for our own natural resources and food, then you won't vote to re-elect Obama.

      Instead, you'll use the power of your vote and save our country from this reckless path of Obama's by voting for Mitt Romney.

    • This is trivial compared to the suffering women will have with their conscience after putting to an end the life of their unborn. Dc1, you talk about planned parenthood and contraception like you were reading it from a manual!
      This is proof that for women everything centers around pregnancy to the point of being willing to destroying a nation. If you would only allow the pregnancies to come to term. And not from coast to coast strew our land with bloody fetuses. Might not you for one moment transcend these issues for the sake and good of America. These issues will bring you to choose the trickster and demagogue instead of a good honest life loving man. Sham on you and the likes of you. If you and others are this corrupt it would be best if the end is near.

    • President Obama is the boyfriend/lover most college-educated women wish they could've had back in the day. It's the closest they'll ever get.

    • Samantha.....do you make $100k??

    • Makes sense - largest majority sector of feminists is also single. Their resentment of males and their feminist agenda supports socialism and the democrats' social divisions on race & gender - such as affirmative action & govt. sponsered gender preferences

    • the split between married women for Obama or Romney looks like a nit, where unmarried is a real gap ... it would probably give us more of an insight if the stats were between women that work outside the home and those that don't far more than married and single ... Romney is trying to paint himself, and Republicans, as someone protecting families (mostly bs) and that tune plays more to where one parent stays at home (less to the realities of working couples, and even less to those that do it to enjoy a life style rather than meeting the basics) ...

    • Samantha wrote:
      "I make $100K by the context of her message, but if she doesn't know the proper use of , why should we believe her?

    • Democrats really relying heavily on pitting women against men - they're constantly reminding us to feel resentment and victimization towards each other regardless of real facts or reality. I mean, how does welfare realyy improve any single mother's life - overall?

    • Dear uneducated--and proudly so--republicans, the arrow symbol pointing left--"<"--means "less than." Conversely, pointing right means "more than." Ergo, Huh?, the writer does not make exactly $100K, as you suggest in your post.

      This proud disdain for education by conservatives and republicans is a major difference from the left, who understand the importance of it. And since women now out number men in college and such women are overwhelming single, it’s why single women reject conservatives and republican dogma.

    • Marcio, Apparently Samantha knows how to make her "less than" and "greater than" symbols appear in these comments, but she does not know what they mean.

    • That goes double for you, Marcio. Pendejo.

    • Thanks Roselia.....but I think she meant greater than...something you clearly didn't get.

    • He should eliminate the marriage tax.

    • Roselia writes "And since women now out number men in college and such women are overwhelming single, it’s why single women reject conservatives and republican dogma."
      .I am uneducated and all, but I think "outnumber" is one word, and shouldn't it be "overwhelmingly" and does that sentence make any sense at all???
      Look up Roselia...it's over your head.

    • "Mr. Romney trails Mr. Obama by an astounding 36 percentage points among women who aren’t married – 28% to 64% respectively. And it doesn’t get much better for the Romney team if you shift to look at men. He trails the president among men who aren’t married by some 23 percentage points – 33% for Mr. Romney versus 56% for Mr. Obama."

      Those are the people on the government dole...

    • we need to geographically divide the nation. The leftist feminists will have their own states and they can run things as they like. Conservative men and women will have their own states and the small group of radical leftist and terrorist males will have their own state. The conservatives will continue building as they did in the early pioneer days a prosperous, educated, freedom loving nation of good values. The feminist state will eventually dwindle and flicker out as even their sperm banks will be quickly depleted. The leftist males and terrorists will as usual continue on plotting with hatred the destruction of others. But at least we will be able to grow or die independently.

    • Single woman: Obama wants to be your Baby Daddy.

    • what do you do if a married man wants to do a little "down low"

      does he need a passport to go from familia to blowmeana

    • Roselia sounds like a real liberal snob with all her liberal edu. stuff. William F Buckley had more knowledge and wisdom in the dirt under his little finger's nail than most of the most highly educated of liberal snobs. But Roselia I doubt that you have even heard of Mr. Buckley! Go back to reading Karl Marx, your peoples leader and hero.

    • dude, If feminists could only become the men they truly want to be all would be good. Who were the devils that created contraception in the first place. If men and women just had their children as nature intended this garbage would disappear. Or might you feminists prefer the policies of your Maoist comrades and have your eve rloving state tell you how many children you can have.

    • Roselia,
      Why don't you take a minute (or two...) to re-read Samantha's post.
      Does all your precious left leaning education afford you a nice slice of Humble Pie? Or do you want us conservatives to pay for that too ;)

    • And just in case, you still don't get it: Samantha meant greater than. That is why it's in her so called interest to vote republican. Ah, never mind, maybe you'll get it when you evolve into a conservative as you grow up.

    • Tucci, dude; "know your enemy." Thus, I know Buckley...and yeah, I know Marx.

    • Youngester, no need for me to want you to pay for it because you already are. We can dig it. Thanks.

    • I noticed that very few are reading the others blogs. The self-absorbed vanity of dashing down a few egoistic words!

    • Sorry single women, but you're revealing why you're single. Why would a man looking for a serious partner in life marry a woman who favors such a presidential failure?

    • Rosalia, then why for god;s sake do you write like a kindergarten student. I doubt very much that you are at all familiar with either Buckley or Marx. Say something, anything about their ideologies. Can you tell me where Marx learned his methodology of thinking. Please amuse us.

    • Similar situation as view as Samantha except I am in a long-term relationship and we don't feel like getting married. My boyfriend also works in finance. If the Republican's want our fiscally conservative vote they will need to take religion out of their platform. I can't vote for them because they can't stop talking about irrelevant issues such as birth control and abortion. Really, guys? It is 2012. I pay more taxes than 99% of Americans and I have no interest in being told what to do regarding my reproductive rights. Until the Republicans kick religion (read: Evangelicals) out of their party I will never vote for them.

    • When is the media going to start talking about Obama's gender gap with men or do we not count?

    • Ahhh, molly, straight outta “Little House on the Prairie” are you? Yes, I’m sure you bake a mean batch of cookies, but listen; for the most part we already have a divided nation. The West and the New England coasts are traditionally progressive, while the remainder is conservative. But that’s not what you REALLY want is it? What you really want is all the folks of color—minorities—living in one place and all of you white-supremacist yahoos living in another. You know, like the Native American on their reservations.

      Now when it comes time to pick the place to live, may I recommend a place where you gingham-dress ladies and your owners (i.e., your overall-wearing men folk), should live? I suggest a place with trailer hook-ups and pit toilets. The latter you’ll figure out how to use…eventually.

    • Ah Roselia! your true color comes shining through. You couldn't even answer my question about Buckley or Marx. Your ad hominem remarks show you to be truly mastered in the arts of sophistry! You should not waste your talents on me, and as a disciple of Obama Marxism it would be best if you made a financial contribution. It matters not if you are dirt poor and smell badly his campaign will welcome with open arms. I like your usage of the Latin word ergo. Why you must be very educated.

    • By the way Roselia I am mulatto. But we forgive you

    • The unmarried woman who wins the lottery is delighted to give the taxman of wealth--Mr. O.---30%

    • left brain. right brain. Democrats are driven by emotion and want to be "accepted." Republicans are driven by 'principle" and want to be "right." Both want validation and thus seek brands, experiences and media that support their approach at life. Nobody cares about the truth anymore. Democrats - Apple. Republicans - Dell. Democrats - VW. Republicans - Ford. Democrats are sexy. Republicans are wealthy. Women tend to be more left brain. Men more right brain. Unmarried people can remain idealistic because they have no cart strapped to their back. Simple

    • Roselia, you should be ashamed of yourself talkin like that!

    • Oh... and most men who vote democrat are either afraid of their wives, old and need medicare, or shop in the softer side of Sears

    • Women who vote republican still want Daddy's approval. Okay 'nuf said

    • This isn't rocket science. People who pay FIT will vote for Republicans, people who don't and get the freebees's will vote Democrat. All the women/single/young stuff is a distraction to what the real motivator is....money, plain and simple.

    • Dave. you've got something there. I still think there is something social to the selection of party. And when you add in libertarians it gets more interesting. Formative years. Democrats got by on being cool, smart enough to know if they learned to play guitar... - cool still matters to them. Republicans could never master the art of cool so they joined the scouts. libertarians had no chance at getting a prom date and huddled together conducting minor acts of rebellion, like leaving burning bags of dog poo on people's front steps.

    • Darren, you are killing me, I am so very sorry if i insulted you. I'm sure you are a great guy and a patriotic American. I would to call myself your friend if you would please forgive me. Considering the challenges that you have, you make a courageous attempt at communicating. I know it is courageous people like yourself that often get kicked around and are the least to deserve it. Is there anything I can do to make up for the hurt I may have caused you. I don't blame you if you put me down. I am your American brother and will protect you.
      Sincerely, Bunny

    • 4:55 roselia: there was no molly in "little house". you must be thinking of the American Girl doll, molly mcintyre. clearly you have no concept or appreciation for little white girls and the challenges facing them. you only see your own challenges - maybe because you guys never overcome yours lawfully so your challenge is steal as much as you can for your whole , sorry life.

    • @ RealityCheck - you are out of control! What are you smoking? Burning bags of dog poo? Really?

    • Bunny...you can protect ME anytime!

    • What I learned from this board...

      Rearing kids = real, hard work, equivalent to a job (if you're married to a millionaire)
      Rearing kids = pathetic excuse for not having a real job (if you're single)

      I'm now ready to sit for the GOP entrance exam!

    • Do,n very few know much about Sir Winston Churchill. I'm glad you brought him into the conversation. He was probably in many estimations one of the greatest men to walk the earth, at points a very lonely voice of freedom in an ocean of darkness. Here is to Sir Winston!!! May we preserve the free England that he and his courageous Englishmen fought and died for. Many people may not know what I am talking about. But American homes were saved from having portraits of Hitler and swastika's above their mantles, and goose stepping police marching down main street thanks to Sir Winston. Thanks Don for keeping an important name alive.

    • Funny

    • Ok It this site safe??? real quit

    • You all do realize it is only April. A lot can change between now and November.

    • I'm married and I would not vote for Romney.

    • Romney I will vote for next and hopefully there will be peace in the White House instead of craziness.

    • I am married, and have three little boys. I am essentially a stay at home Mom - I have a very small part time job that I do while the kids are at school. My husband makes a little over 250k/yr...and we sure as h*ll pay taxes.

      However, I too cannot see my way clear to vote Republican. How dare they tell me what to do with my own body? I have three children...but according to them I should be forced to have more until I am either too old...or it kills me. Crazy doesn't begin to cover it for me. Republicans take note: Until you can leave my body out of the equation...you will never have my vote.

    • I am married and don't plan to vote for either of them. There is a third party after all.

    • why does timothy Geithner's photo in WSJ look like Eraser Head

    • As a republican let's face the music. We should focus on keeping the House and taking the Senate. Gridlock is a good thing. The only way the pathetic cold calculating Mitt "Fliiper, RINO, Draft Dodger, father of mandated healthcare, grandfather of ObamaCare, Etch a Sketch candidate" Romney will win this fall is if the US economy has another hiccup like 2007 just before the election. Speaking as an American I do not want to experience that serious of economic circumstances, again. Everything else is just hot air.

    • MikeH, your brain is gridlocked and you seem to have a constipation problem. Take some ExLax and you will be able to easily pass this current administration. Right now I sense a lot of straining.

    • Mom of 3 the boys.....please tell me what Republicans have told you to do with your body.

    • MikeH,

      You will experience more than a hiccup, thanks to the gov mega spending policies of 2008 and 2009. The artificial inflation of the stock market, a big fat bubble that unfortunately, isn't based on real consumer spending......will nosedive at some point in the near future.

      Speaking of hot air, do you recall that Obama said if he did not fix the economy, he would be a one term president? Just last week, 386, 000 new unemployment claims.

    • These numbers are not surprising. Who are the singles? They are young voters (college age +), gays, urban mothers, high school dropouts, dope dealers, prostitutes, and pimps. Of course they support Obama!


    • 7:29 u are an idiot so i'm glad your life is confined to blundering your way through raising your poor children and not impacting the rest of us. republicans are not getting in the way of your precious body. do whatever you like with it, but i would say your concern comes too late. the republicans were merely defending religious freedom in supporting a catholic institution in their refusal to cover abortion and contraception in the healthcare they offer to their students. the student has the ability to purchase her own healthcare and had ability to choose a non-jesuit (non-catholic) unviersity for her education. her complaint is tantamount to an obese person suing mcdonalds for serving fattening food.

    • Irresolute, liberal women SUCK!

    • yah, all the liberal 20 and 30 somethings who loved experimenting with the black man in college and found being naughty and doing something their parents would be dead set against so titillating, so they now continue with their naughtiness vicariously, by voting for the black president. they have nothing else. poor girls, poor stupid girls: barack plays for the other team, you silly, silly girls.

    • Obama/Osama is the worst president in American history. He has destroyed our economy and only seems to have a talent for singing R&B. I hope the women of America have more intelligence than the articles suggest. Obama/Osama already had his chance to "play" president and failed. Let's put Romney to work, so he can put America back to work!!!

    • Painful to try reading comments here. Who are you people? No thoughtful comments from these readers.

      Going to the Huffington Post.

    • excellent! perhaps snuffington post can put things into the reality distortion field you prefer and you can feel good about yourself once more. you must feel unappreciated and self- conscious, so mission accomplished.
      but at some point you'll have to face the truth, like hundreds of thousands of independents have already done:
      giant screw up in 2008, one more chance to get it right. romney/rubio 2012

      Love these comments! Human nature never changes. People want to be given things or given opportunities. As long as these "necessities" are provided by either the Federal Government (today) or the private sector (historically), then most people just chug along and everything is fine. However, if the necessities (goodies) become scarce or are perceived to not be readily achieveable, then envy and anger percolate up.

      Eventually, politicans like Obama pick up on the latent resentment and you get the cultural divide: those that have sufficient resources to support their lifestyles and those that are lacking (falling farther behind). The financial laggards (single women and minorities) want to take (steal) resources away from "the haves" ( hard working successful married families and businesses). The Government becomes their proxy for redistributing (socialism).

    • IF Romney gets the republican nomination,how about Sarah Palin as VP!! Then we would have "Ken and Barbie" running for office against "Steve Urkel" LMFAO.

    • When asked about Ron Paul Mitt was heard to sing,"Last night I saw upon the stairs the little man who wasn't there. I saw him there again today.Gee I wish he'd go away!!!

    • Women will decide the 2012 Presidential election for sure. African American women had the highest voter turnout rate in the 2008 Presidential election: ww.abc-clio.com/product.aspx?id=2147498780
