I, as well as others find it pretty hilarious that progressives
think feel that the front and center issue with women this election is their vagina. These ladies summed it up pretty well.
Proof That The Obama Campaign Thinks We Are All Idiots
Here are some other issues women are concerned about. It's from a link within the article I linked to. This was written by a woman.
Obama is going to lose because what is driving his campaign is an underlying premise that people are stupid. With no record to run on, it has apparently been decided that the way to win is to assume that the electorate is totally and wholly ignorant and can be easily swayed by talking points fabricated from pure bullshit. The continual hammering by his minions on meaningless and oftentimes fabricated issues that are seen through by virtually everyone is little more that desperation.
Proof? Hardly.
I dunno, the abortion issue is a pretty big issue. Romney has extreme views about it, and it seems those around him are similar. From the sounds of all the talk lately, Romney is going to do whatever he can to make something happen with regard to this issue.
I was generally more conservative in the past, but good conversation with my wife has me taking off the tinted (biased) glasses and seeing things more openly. It has lead me to one realization that I think is paramount when I think of a guy like Romney being in office:
Religion has absolutely no place in politics.
To me, the abortion issue, from the republican side, is primarily about religious beliefs. "Thou shall not murder." And then, to have a republican get on a public platform and refer to rape as "legitimate rape" as an argument against abortion, it just really makes the whole thing look bad. But it seems that Romney is firmly in the camp against abortion, and the way it sounds, he's making it a big issue that he is going to face if elected.
I dunno, something like that just doesn't sit right with me. Whether it is a health aspect for a mother, or a rape victim, or whatever the case, that seems to me like the right of the women affected by the pregnancy, and not some bureaucrat who has not endured the hardships of someone in that position(especially in the case of a rape victim or someone facing serious health risks due to pregnancy).
As to unemployment and every other thing, I don't know why people expect the economy to bounce back in the course of one man's term. The economy didn't break over night, it sure as hell won't fix itself over night. I don't follow it closely enough, but I just know that people are hell bent to hate a guy (Obama, Bush, whomever) and will blame any statistics that happened during that guys tenure directly on that guy.
Problem is, this isn't football. The QB of last year doesn't affect what happens with the QB of this year. Somewhere, our economy went way off track. Whether Obama did or didn't cause it, or simply didn't affect it enough, remains to be seen. We'll only truly know several years down the road. But it would seem that he will impact the economy no more or less than Romney, which brings some of the discussion back to Romney's key interest.
As it is, Romney has firmly entrenched himself on a viewpoint that is largely counter to the primary interests of a lot of females. That, in and of itself, is likely going to hurt him in this election, IMO.
