I wouldn't know....unemployment is still 8.9% here.
NOT including former earners of six figures working at Drive N Shine carwash.......and me (a blue collar guy) not getting a raise for 5 years CUZ business SUCKS!
You live in a state that doesn't allow the DJIA to be published when the unemployment is over 8%...
With respect Chiel, if the republican party changed and there was zero daylight between them and the dems on the issue of abortion, you would vote democrat.
I would go further and say based on the comments you have made here, that if you were in a district with a prolife liberal and a pro choice conservative you would vote for the liberal.
That being said, Republicans are going to have to take a very serious look at how they deal with womens issues if they intend to win national elections.
There was an 18 point gap between Republicans and Democrats for women voters. That is huge, and there was not enough old white men to make up for it.
They need to quit pandering to the fundamentalist.

The problem (well, one problem) -- for Republicans -- is that there are more women than men, and that they vote in higher percentages. So men have to break harder for Republicans than women do for Democrats just to pull even.
What's funny is that ALL of those "real reasons" you posted are due exclusively to the Democrats lies and distortions. None of those things are actually true.
The democrats have a fantastic marketing machine, though. We saw just how good it's become in the 2008 campaign, and they steamrolled right through the 2012 campaign. Tell a lie often enough and with enough flair, and you can get anyone to believe anything. Yesterday is undeniable proof.

The Democratic marketing machine??
Repubs have a bigger voice in the media since the corporate mainstream media is the republican base.

Right.

I suggest you look into why people invest in stocks, and why they sell their stocks. Clearly, your participation in this system doesn't go any further than picking the mutual funds with cool names in your 401k.

if you read what I wrote, you understand that I agree Republicans have to change some positions and also change the way they present conservative principles as it relates to issues that are important to women.
Women trend toward the dems because of this structural problem with the GOP. On top of that women make up 53% of the electorate. Beyond that women broke BIG for Obama.

Knowledge in what exactly... stashing money abroad, evading taxes, laying folks off, shipping American jobs offshore, borrowing taxpayer money to fix the Olympics, bankrupting companies and taking a tidy profit?!
Heck, even Mass. had a taste of his "knowledge" and decided they didn't want him anymore!
BTW, no worries re: the "lawn" part... where you live will probably be underwater soon anyway (and no doubt you'll be looking for FEMA and a guvmint handout)!

yep good post.
3 Trillion $$ in offshore bank accounts - that would shoot up even more with the Repubs in control.
'trickle down economics' - that really is a joke nowadays.
Bye,bye Romney and his feudalism
