GOP Poll: Women Think Republican Party Is 'Stuck In The Past'

[Anathema]

Anyone courting the female vote is not an individual that I would vote for. If you need the female vote to win, then there's something truly disturbing going on

 

[shart_attack]

Republicans need to call them sluts more often

Women find that kinky

Depends on the honey and her mood, really.

"If you need the world's largest demographic to win, then there's something truly disturbing going on."

Yeah. It's called math.

 

[Anathema]

Their views on social policy, foreign policy, immigration policy, and civil liberties are the biggest issues I have with them. This country is changing and they aren't rolling with the tide.

Ever consider that maybe it's society that is on the wrong side of those issues.

No. The simple fact they're allowed to vote is nauseating.

They polled 800 women wow so these 800 women speak for every women of every race and age group both married and single who knew.

Has anyone ever explained to you what the word "poll" means?

Has anyone ever explained to you what the meaning of sarcasm is?

You mean like in my reply to you?

That's what you were attempting?

As you were?

I never attempt sarcasm I succeed at it.

How much time do you have left, "Olde Man"?

/looks at calender

Eh. Your opinion won't matter much longer.

Anti-choice pro-birth fanatics try to restrict women's access to abortion and contraceptives - and then condemn them for not wanting to deliver a baby that they don't want. One would think these fanatics would want women to have totally free access to contraceptives and all associated doctor visits - which would be much less costly to all concerned (both morally and financially).

It totally amazes me how little concern the anti-choice zealots have for the financial/mental/physical welfare of pregnant women who don't want babies for various reasons. These women should come first. According to Roe v. Wade - they do come first.

Republican anti-choice pro-birth fanatics have no moral standing in forcing and/or shaming a pregnant woman into giving birth to an unwanted baby.

More listless pap.

Why can't Republicans evolve out of the Dark Ages? Is it because of education, religion, or both?

When will you learn to be more tolerant of other points of view

It was all that democrat stuff enabling them to have recreational sex without negative consequences.

So the only thing women care about is having inconsequential sex?

Who's being sexist here?

What's more telling is all this progressive crap has really done is allow MEN to have recreational sex without negative consequences.

Apparently this is the lib narrative.
Their view of women is that females are simple creatures with that politically single issue minded.
That women do not have any control over their hormones and are interested in matters of biology.

Actually, it was a goper who brought up the recreational sex angle.

And some people still wonder why it's important to make sure media isn't hijacked by a political party or ideology the way it has been by lefties and democrats. Uninformed, misinformed or low informed women think the democrats are cutting edge when they in fact are the outdated, outmoded and neoconservative party.

 

[Kondor3]

...Does anyone honestly expect that Republicans will "deal honestly with any disagreement on abortion"?...

Why not?

Have they (as a group) not honestly stated their opposition to abortion, over the years?

Or are they only being honest if they agree with you?

...I don't.

Thank you for your personal opinion on the subject.

Notice how the Conservatives here ignore the major issues in that poll? Health care and equal pay. The Conservatives dig in their heels over the abortion issue because they don't want women to have reproductive freedom. Then they ignore pay equality because they don't value women in the work place.

And then they scratch their vacant heads and wonder why women won't vote for their ossified ideology.

Way to get that women's vote!

A new internal Republican report confirmed that women are not fans of the GOP, and Republicans have more work to do if they want the female vote.

The study was commissioned by two conservative groups: Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the American Action Network.

The report, which was obtained by Politico, found that although Republicans have tried to improve outreach to female voters, women still believe the party is "stuck in the past" and "intolerant."

It offered a stark picture of how women view the Republican Party as a whole. Women are "barely receptive" to the party's policy proposals, the report said, in part because Republicans "fail to speak to women in the different circumstances in which they live."

The report drew its conclusions from focus group discussions and a poll of 800 registered women voters. In top issue areas, such as health care, the economy and education, the poll found that Democrats held a huge advantage. For example, when considering which side "wants to make health care more affordable," the women surveyed chose the Democratic Party by a 39 percent margin. They also said that a policy of equal pay for equal work would "help women the most."

To make electoral gains in 2014 and 2016, the report suggested that the GOP soften its opposition to legislation supporting pay equity. The party should also tackle economic issues like gender bias in the workplace, the report said. Given that abortion can be a wedge issue among women, the report recommended that the party "deal honestly with any disagreement on abortion, then move to other issues."

GOP Poll: Women Think Republican Party Is 'Stuck In The Past'

Does anyone honestly expect that Republicans will "deal honestly with any disagreement on abortion"? I don't.

Stuck in the past? The GOP is stuck in a fantasy world! Why do I say that? It's because I constantly hear them say that America was founded on Christian principles. That would be news to the founding fathers who eschewed not only a state church, but religion in general when it came to the US Constitution.

What America was founded on was the concepts of the Enlightenment. To that end, I suggest a couple of short but to-the-point books that outline the lives of the founding fathers, as well as their views on religion, and the times in which they lived.
