Gender Gap Near Historic Highs

[del]

Obama is fucking Lilly Ledbetter up the ass in the oval office, and women want to vote for him?
Obama's record on paying women White House aides not stellar - Washington Times

But President Obama's own record on closing the gender pay gap is less than stellar. Using late 2011 figures, the latest available at the time, The Washington Times earlier this year surveyed 121 White House employees who were paid at least $100,000 and found that 47 were women and 74 were men. That is only slightly better than in 2003, the third year of the Bush administration, when 39 of the top 121 employees were women.

When all White House employees are considered, the Obama administration's record dims a bit further. Female employees earn a median salary of $60,000, roughly 18 percent less than men, whose median salary is $71,000.

yeah, those fucking women want to get paid the same as men.

fucking commie bitches

See what misandry gets you!

If only men voted, Mr. Obama would be biding his time until a crushing defeat at the hands of Mitt Romney, who might win by a similar margin to the one Ronald Reagan realized over Jimmy Carter in 1980. Only California, Illinois, Hawaii and a few states in the Northeast could be considered safely Democratic. Every other state would lean red, or would at least be a toss-up.

Interesting that you totally fail to recognize that the gap on the other side is the same. Also interesting that you bake the blatantly false accusation (without any actual facts) that the gap is because of women hating men but somehow the gender gap on the other side has nothing to do with women hating men.

This is another example of how the democrats feel the need to divide people into subsets, pander to those individuals and then claim they should vote democrat because the democrats have their interests at heart against the horde. It is disgusting. We are not women and men, black and white, Mexican and Chinese. We are Americans and that is the only demographic that our politicians should be trying to ‘pander’ to. Not these special interest groups.

i do recognize the gap on the other side. it's because middle aged and old white men feel threatened by women having power over their economic and physical lives. women are historically more liberal and believe government has an important role in making life better for the populace...

and mostly...we don't want some old white man in congress trying to humiliate us with unnecessary vaginal ultrasounds or having to ask an employer for permission to have our health insurance cover prescrption meds.

see how that works...

oh yeah...we tend not to like unnecessary wars.

screw them.

It's hard to understand how any woman would vote for any Republican. Actually, it's hard to fathom why anyone votes for any Republican. We live in a democratic republic and it's painfully obvious Republicans eschew democracy, the rule of law and government.

The GOP is not now and never has been a big tent party; the GOP has sold its soul to the 1% which included corporate America: the oil and coal industry; big pharma, big farma, Wall Street and the military-industrial complex.

I don't hate the wealthy, I fear what a class or group ruling and exercising power by virtue of it's wealth alone will do to the United States and the values inherent in a democracy. I believe Citizens United v. FEC has fundamentally changed our nation into a plutocracy where monied interests will control lawmakers in the Congress, in State Legislatures and even city and county boards more than they ever have. It has legalized bribery and don't for a moment think it has not.

The Democratic Party isn't perfect, but it's values are those upon which are nation was founded. Today's Democrats in general reflect the values of our founders; the GOP mouth's support for individual freedom and liberty but a little critical examination of what they say from one side of their mouth and what they say from the other strongly suggests there is no "we" (as in "We the People") in their rhetoric.

I'm so tired of this red herring.

Everyone is paid on the same basis.

They are paid the amount, mutually agreed upon by both parties that they think they are worth.

The gender gap would work two ways. If Republicans are misogynists, then Democrats would be misandrists. Are you a misandrist?

Well now we see where the term "nanny state" came from.

Actually the GOP distrusts humanity in general and has become misanthropic to the extreme. Hence the efforts around the nation to suppress the vote. BTW, you really need to work on providing evidence to support your allegations; otherwise be thought a foolish hack. Simply knowing how to use a dictionary/thesaurus does not prevent one from drawing such a conclusion.

Distrust?

Republicans trust people enough to own firearms as long as they are not felons.

Republicans trust people enough to let them make thier own decsions regarding thier health

Republicans trust people are competent enough to be able to get a photo ID to vote if they want to

Republicans trust people enough to keep a larger portion of thier income so they can spend it as they choose.

Progressives think people are too stupid to handle thier own affairs, thus government has to step in to be the subsitute "daddy figure" they all secretly want to help run thier lives.

No, I don’t see how that works. You claim that women won’t vote for republicans because they are misogynist. Then you claim that men won’t vote for democrats because… they are misogynist. Seem like you have picked an answer and are forcing the facts to fit your brand of hate.

The issue here is that you seem to think any disparity is contributed to misogynistic bullshit. It is not. You actually had a moment of clarity though:
‘women are historically more liberal and believe government has an important role in making life better for the populace...’

Women do tend to think a little different than men do and they tend to see the world differently. They tend to be democrats too. That they are voting more for BO is not really a surprise. The fact that they are breaking in larger numbers than before is a direct correlation to the fact that the entire country is becoming more partisan. None of this has to do with the blanket misogynist comment you made though. That was utter bullshit. Not that you would ever admit this though. You have to cling to that stupidity because, for some unknown reason, you have to demonize those that you disagree with. I don’t need that crutch. I can oppose democrats because I think their ideas are incorrect. I don’t need to hate them or belive that they are evil commies to do so. You should try it some time.

All this to try and pretend that women aren't abandoning obama.

The reason there's a gender-gap is because women have fallen in greater numbers for Obama's ridiculous scare tactics. Women tend to be more liberal minded. Women usually are more forgiving than men are.

Obama's Sandra Fluke campaign has been effective but is losing effectiveness. Fear of what Obama will do next overrules everything else. He has lost our trust for good. We've heard him lie to us way too many times to believe him when he says giving him 4 more years will make any difference. He's not going to change. It's time to send him to that mansion he just bought in Hawaii.

 

[The Rabbi]

Politics has gone down ever since women got the right to vote. They decide whom to vote for based on the candidate's hair, how nice he seems, and how much he "cares" about them. IOW, about how they pick husbands. With marriage failure at about 50% it is no surprise politcal failure is about teh same.
Repeal voting rights for women. Save America.

 

[Katzndogz]

The Sandra Fluke campaign has already failed. If anything, the Sandra Fluke campaign, like the Julia campaign has only alienated women.
