Why Do Liberals See Women As Stupid?

About either side, I guess.

It is obvious from any study of election history that the parties, rightly or wrongly, appeal to a bloc vote. The choice of Gov Palin appeared to be a brilliant decision. If they had primed her and prepared her better it might have worked.

I contend that the author of he OP was mistaken at best when he accused liberals of seeing women as 'stupid' because they try to appeal to women as a voting bloc.

That's just politics has it has always been practiced.

You are correct. These are opinions and my opinion is just as valid as the opinion of the blogger in your OP.


Kind of defensive. How come?

Huh? The blogger in your OP expressed an opinion. I have an opinion. Is either of ours more or less valuable?

There is nothing defensive about that, I just don't hold the blogger's opinion any more or less valid than any other poster here.

In a sense I guess we could say that all Republicrats see all voters as stupid. They know their votes are safe because everyone is afraid to 'waste their vote' and vote third party so they can say whatever tickles the voters ears and go on expanding government, spending our money, and limiting our freedoms while all the time entrenching their power.

That's fine. What info would you like?

I'd like to see some examples of lies. Y'know, like promising to end some wars, close Gitmo, end the patriot act, and then just pretending she never said them. You say there are several, so educate us.

And then we can compare the issue of ethics, between the two camps.

The rhetoric of the GOP seems to echo your statement.

I agree with Ron Paul. We should be reforming the GOP from the inside.

Sometimes that is hard.
Not sure about other States or Commonwealths, but in NY all you have to do is to register with the Board of Elections as to what political party you wish to be associated with.
For example, I could register with the Working Families Party . Now, I would probably only agree with them on 20% of the issues. However, if I decided to run, I would be the WF party candidate unless another party member were to primary me.. So how can you reform a Party if you have no control over who can join. At least in a Baptist church, you can actually vote members out - for whatever reason. Not so with a Political Party. And the current slogan for the Republicans is something along the line "A wide open tent".

Thoughts?

It doesn't take the proverbial rocket scientist to discern the progressive left's fear of Sarah Palin.

When she slips in approval ratings there is left press catharsis.

When she rises there is another regurgitating of her pecadillos i.e. SHE IS A QUITER!, Bridge to Nowhere, etc...

Not that I would vote for her (maybe, maybe not) if she runs, but say what you want, judging by the left reactionary press, she is their "Nightmare on Elm Street".

I will agree that both parties are guilty of attempting to appeal to women voters, but I stand by my statement that Liberals count on their voters to remain ignorant of their actual views.

Just look at all the name changing they have done. First they are called progressives and then once the people learned what that meant and rejected it they adopted the name "liberal," and after a while when people get to know what that represents they change their name again. They know the majority of Americans would reject their ideology so they have to hide it with new terminology and double speak.

It's not pro-abortion, it's "pro-choice."
It's not spreading the wealth, it's "cap and trade."
It's not Acorn, it's (a couple dozen new organizations with new names doing the same thing)
It's not wasteful Government Spending, its an "investment."
It's not higher taxes, its "just letting a tax cut expire."

If liberals were honest about what they really believed they would never get elect and THEY KNOW IT, thus they count on an ignorant voting bloc but it's not just the women, its everyone who blindly pulls the lever.

There was a good principle behind the founder's concept of only allowing property owners to vote. Most don't know that even women were allowed to vote at that time if they were the sole property owner. It wasn't as much about bigotry as many would have us think, it was about having an informed and vested voter making the decisions for the direction of our country.

If you think that is such a bad idea, the next time you have church business meeting and a bunch of "members," who never come to church for worship or support the ministry of the church financially, show up just to cast a vote to pass some controversial proposal, then come talk to me. That will destroy any organization or any nation.

Skandelon, you and I butt heads on almost every theological doctrine, but we're brothers on this one! Well said!

Some of the other excesses that came as a result of "progressive" or "liberal" policy and worldview: the IRS, central government planning, welfare, Federal Reserve, transfer of states rights (particularly in he election of Senators) to people's rights, abortion on demand, and a few other issues that now plague us.

Yeah, and in reality, when considering the vast theological world out there we are a lot closer to each other than most others. :)

This issue is one all of us, as believers, can unite behind. :thumbsup:

Why do I think that you and my mother-in-law need to talk? :smilewinkgrin:

She buys into EVERY liberal agenda force-fed her through the national nightly news.
