(18,318 posts)There is an uptick in the percentage of women who are going to vote for Romney. Do you have a take on this?
Many young women I have talked to in Austin are not in the least concerned about reproductive rights; they figure they can always arrange a fix, I guess. There IS a considerable interest in new tattoos (hey, what's a stereotype between generations?). But there is no interest in relating how I and many other (then-young hippy activists) busted ass to elect folks to office who favored reproductive rights. I may as well be discussing the comeback of bell-bottoms, bead threading or CCR.

(25,699 posts)Who feel those young hussies need to be punished, PUNISHED, I say. You know, the type who eight years ago helped re-elect Bush becuase they were scared of terrorists coming to their kids' soccer fields?
Let's not pretend age brings wisdom, hey?

(25,266 posts)I couldn't believe it when she told me either. These folks are Repugs - true and true. They are faithful watchers of Fox and listen to Rush, Hannity and all the RW talking heads.
I realized I might run into this skepticism here on DU when I originally posted. I'm just passing on what I heard. Sorry - but don't blame the messenger. And there is no link - I was just passing on what I heard.

(22,165 posts)my daughter (today is her 19th birthday) attends university ... as do her cohorts/peers.
She volunteered during Obama's first campaign and is working hard this time around for his re-election.
She is a chemistry student in the honors program ... what you are suggesting is that college aged women are idiots. i beg to differ!
I am the mother of a college student ... let me tell you how off base this statement is!

Okay, there will always be a couple of nitwits with a total of 3 brain cells fighting each other inside the skull, but those few voters will constitute fewer than 1% of the female voters. My estimate.

My mom also repeated this theory. I do not know where it originated, probably talk radio or some hairbrained pundit.

Money and power are addictions just like heroin. They are trapped in 3rd chakra greed and needing more and more intoxicating influence and hegemony, to get a fix.
They have no clue about unconditional love or what Christ came to teach us two thousand years ago. They worship the dollar.
Those dreamy eyes hide a wicked self obsessed, power drunk criminal. Almost as evil as Cantor.
I'm still gunna be sick...

(238 posts)That is what I have been hearing, wait till he appoints supreme court judges that will not allow birth control at all. I guess they want to be bare foot and pregnant in the kitchen. My stupid niece supports the person hood bill by the way she would be in jail right now if it had passed a few years ago. Typical though everything is for someone else and not them.

(25,415 posts)Please post things with facts. The youth of America are not stupid. They are well educated and very intelligent. More people this age have gone to college then any other age group. Gen Y will be even more educated then Gen X and are less driven by religion. They are our future. I am a younger Gen Xer that went back to college. None of the college kids I spoke to like Republicans. None. Zero.
Also, Joe Biden is way "dreamier". A man who stated he has religious beliefs. But that those beliefs should not lead him to tell me what to do with my own body. Wow. That just made my night Thursday. And Paul Ryan looks like a less attractive Eddie Munster. And he has no lips.

Jennicut
(25,415 posts)I am 36. I have spoken to tons of twentysomething women at the college I went to for a teaching certificate. None of them like Republicans and all of them are pro choice.
None of the thirtysomething women in my age group that I am a friends with or is part of my family thinks Ryan and Romney are good for women either. Lots of women in Gen X and Gen Y cannot stand them. Just say "forcible rape" and it explains everything. Repubs are losing women under 45. In PPP's poll of VA not that long ago, Obama won women under 45 59% to 38%.
