Almost funny how the more they say it the more women voters switch to Romney after they look into what he said and realize he has done more for equality than Obama has. Best part is, Liberals act like they are the defenders of minorities when facts are Republicans are the ones who have done the most good in our country--after all which party freed the slaves. Want equality, vote Romney Want more sexism and social injustice, vote Obama | ||

And egalitarian can only mean government redistribution of wealth, right? But it's not a socialist idea at all. | ||

Though I urge you send a letter to the Romney Campaign suggesting they adopt the slogan, "Vote Romney, after all which party freed the slaves." | ||

Right because in the history of stateless societies there has never been a conception of "ownership." It was just invented one day. | ||

There is your proof, next? but dont watch the 'facts' during the comment, but then you would notice its a lie. he never asked for more women? i agree that this whole binders thing is just a news storm in a tea cup, its very doubtful anyone will change their mind either way based on a stupid turn of phrase. but you are trying to argue that someohw mitts love of binders will entice the female vote. which seems crazy. | ||

Pro freedom, personal accountability, economic freedom, liberty, determent military doctrine, flat tax, etc Left is anti freedom. Right is anti freedom. Left has no personal accountability: Bigger goverment, means more corruption/less transparency Right has little personal accountability supporting an upper class beyond the means of growth incentives, allowing billions of dollars to go overseas. Left has no economic freedom. Right is too weak against monopolies/fair competetion policies etc etc both groups/parties suck This election is nothing more than an example of what Lesser of 2 evils is really all about. | ||

Crazy, poll numbers for women are shifting to Romney... but I'm sure you neglect all polls or other signs to anything that may be contraire to ur view point. | ||

And besides, at that point the gop was the liberal party, not its current iteration. | ||
