I've dated both and married a liberal one. Most conservative chicks are too uptight.

This is simple
The Democratic Party Platform declares war on God and religious people.
People who hate God are more likely to be single

For those who still don't get it
Religious people are more likley to vote Republican
Religious people are more likley to be married

Married people are single at one point in their lives, heck I'm married but was single for many many years.

Who the hell hates God, I want names, otherwise your claim is BS.

For the record, conservative women are neither pathetic nor kitchen slaves. Most of us work and earn our money just like men do.

We do love our families and care for them. We wish everyone else would too.

Wow!! Pathetic and kitchen slaves. Based on nothing. So much for peace and tolerance.

This makes no sense... R's are notorious for expanding government reagan did it as well as Bush so if that is the value , why vote R?


As to the OP.... you supplied no facts to back up this assertion. if, of married women, 51 % vote R that is hardly something of significance.

When I was a kid, older conservatives were still complaining about FDR and social security. You were supposed to save your own money, d***it, not have the govt. do it for you. Pure laziness! Heck, we even hear that now, on occasion. And Medicare! Wow! I was in late high school when that started, early college (nursing) as it started going into effect. The root of all evil!

I wondered about that too. All these polls are based on a few responses, and on people being honest when they answer. Your vote is supposed to be secret.

I do not vote straight tickets either.

I choose to look a little deeper than that.

I am very liberal socially. Pro choice, pro legalization of marijuana, pro equality, and I don't care who anyone marries. No one told me who I could marry so it's certainly not my place to tell anyone else.

I just won't vote for a president based on these issues. These issues are won by the states as we can clearly see. It's happening all the time. Why would anyone vote nationally on these issues? Because they don't have enough sense to do a little research.

My money that I earn for my family is important to me. I have no issues with Medicare and Social Security either. People worked hard and paid into those for the people preceding them in those programs.

I feel we've gotten too far away from encouraging hard work and too near making it perfectly ok to take instead of earn.

I do not and will not raise my kids on the ideas of the latter.
That's exactly why the credibility in this country is in the toilet. Republicans aren't fiscally conservative at all. They never have been. Cutting taxes on the wealthy and shifting the burden to everyone else via income and payroll taxes while protecting the 1% just doesn't work. Republicans are responsible for literally every financial problem this country has faced in the last 30 years.

It is a common misconception that fiscal conservatives despise these programs and look down upon them.

Honestly, I have no problem with hand ups. I have a problem with hand outs. I'm glad we have help for those that are TEMPORARILY down and out. The key word was capitalized.
I do have a problem with able bodies people making careers of living off of these programs.
Most people in this country have a problem with hand outs.. but the argument is extremely overplayed. Only 4% of the population is on welfare, but the government spends nearly 4 times the amount on SNAP benefits because jobs aren't paying people enough. If we actually paid people more instead of showering the wealthy with more tax breaks, we wouldn't have to spend over $350 billion per year in food stamps (which goes to corporations in the form of tax breaks). Who is really on welfare?

Ha!!! I only sound like an extremist to people who blindly follow the right-wing. Sir, it is the neoconservatives that are out of touch with reality, not me.

I'm far from a "bleeding heart" liberal. I just know how to spot bull**** and call it out. Currently, 100% of the bull**** is coming from the right-wing on every issue.

.....and that is why Democrats continue to win the vote with women.

Single women tend to be poor and disproportionately use the welfare programs that Democrats love: "U.S. women were more likely to live in poverty than men in 2012, particularly if they’re raising families alone." Census poverty data: Not good for women, particularly single women.

Married women tend to be more financially stable and while they have may have lived on a shoestring during their early adult lives, they probably DIDN'T apply for (or qualify for) welfare. Not only that, but if they do know people on welfare, it was typically thanks to the voluntary choice to have children--in other words, pure irresponsibility. These experiences tend to make you vote Republican (although in fact of course ALL politicians will endlessly waste the most taxpayer money possible).

That article has a lot of statistical twists. It's about single moms, which, despite what many RWs think, or pretend to think anyway for talking points, is not a huge subset of the population. Many single women simply haven't gotten married yet. The average age for a woman to marry is now 27, and marriage rates are going down. The marriage rate is 1/3 of what it was in 1920. Read with caution.
