A tiny few of women may be considering to vote Republican, but I have to ask why?

It is the Democratic Party that has given you everything, from taking care of your health care, the right to abort your fetus, your children's education and help advancing in a male-dominated world through affirmative action.

Republicans will take away every last bit of that. They destroy the environment of Mother Nature.

John Kerry and the Democratic Party need your support to stop Republicans, look at all pro-government people like Democrats have given you, consider it for a moment and then realize that all we need in return is your vote. You owe it to your country, without Democrats by your side, women today would be at the helpless leash of a male dominated society.

Vote Democrat this November! The fate of not just the country but the entire world, the entire universe depends on it!

While Bush may not have the majority of support among women, it's certainly not TINY.

The rest of your post is flamebait, in my best rants I wouldn't go so far.

icam ! and not only women but anyone who isnt rich. i cant understand why people who are middle class and below vote republican when they are not the ones to reap the benefits of their party economics plan - it doesnt make any sense. i think alot of folks who vote republican only do so because they always have and they dont know any better. it seems especially so in the southern states and people who are educationally challenged. i've heard them interviewed and they say they would "never vote democrat no matter what" without any real reason for it. some reasons they do say are because of their values (ie: their religion makes them pro-life or they like to shoot guns) and others just say they hate liberals. i wish everyone would pay more attention to the issues that should be of most concern like the economy, healthcare, and global warming.

Perhaps for the same reason some men vote Republican, because their political philosophy is best represented by that particular party. Why should gender be necessarily any more of a political determinant than income?

"Vote Democrat this November! The fate of not just the country but the entire world, the entire universe depends on it!"

Could you be be just a *touch* more melodramatic? It would be appreciated.

Wow, the stereotypes are running rampant, but as long as they are I'll join in for the moment and ask why it is that only democrats and liberals seem to believe that income is or should be the determinant in an individuals political philosophy? If that is the case then why are both Kerry and Edwards democrats? Using your argument they're going as much against their own benefit in not being republicans as the middle class and below are by not voting democrat.

I can only speak for myself:

The party of Lincoln

The party of strong national defense

The party of smaller, more efficient government.

The party of less intrusion in peoples personal lives.

The party of Fiscal reponsibility.

Now, while I wasn't alive (or was very young) when Reagan said 'I didn't abandon the Democratic Party, it abandonded me', I have come to realize in the last couple of years what he meant.

I voted Republican in every Presidential race since 1984 except one, 1996 where I threw my vote away on Perot.

And that (and the war in Iraq) is why I will not vote Republican in this race or any other race on a national level (Local politics is another matter) until they get their SHIP together.

The Democratic party has not given me health care...I presently pay for that myself.

Not all women consider abortion a good thing.

I wasn't aware the Republicans had plans to eliminate public education.


You couldn't manage to be a little bit more melodramatic, could you?

can i just respond by asking what part of mother nature involves abortions?

ok that said, WE still have that right, nobody is taking that away, so voting based on that is just ridiculous but your other points are valid and I am a registered democrat, always have been, but I am not pro choice.
