GOP Banking On The Idea That Younger Women Do Not Care About Their Agenda

[TheMastersNemesis]

My wife and I went to downtown Denver today to eat at a restaurant we rarely go to now that she is retired. We went at a very busy time. What I noticed most was all the young women under 30 with two or three children. Even though family is an important matter and raising children is a noble if difficult cause, I was wonder how many of these young women even care about the draconian laws. I was wondering if they are even engaged at all. And I was looking at their husbands most of whom will probably vote straight GOP.

Of course I cannot say that these young people are truly conservative, but I wondered. Even though my wife and I are politically active, I get the sense that many of these younger people are not. And if they are that they are probably conservative because of all the media that blasts aways with conservative values.

The GOP seems to be banking on the idea that these young women are so family oriented that they are not interested and do not care that their rights will be gone in their lifetime if what has happened since 2010 goes on steroids, which it will if the GOP gets power.

I also thought about what these kids will do when they are 50 and they have a bad job and no Social Security or Medicare for their older years. And they have no pensions either since most jobs will pay less than $15.00 an hour an will most likely have no benefits. And what will be worse is that these 20 somethings will have no career left after 45 because under "tinkle down" economics it is good for the bottom line to get rid of the over 45 crowd that is too expensive.

What kind of dystopian world will they have compared to what seniors have today. The alarming trend is that a lot os seniors are now suffering. And if Romney and Ryan get their way seniors as a class will be totally bankrupted. And if you look very carefully a good many seniors are supporting their children and grandchildren who are not making and won't under the GOP plan.

I still have a pic of my grandfather who worked in a mine. He is there with his bicycle looking at me through time with his fellow miners around 1918. There was not future for them, there was no retirement, no safety. There was only 16 tons of coal to mine and death at the end. Sadly he died of a bleeding ulcer. We did not know his fate because they spelled his name so wrong on the death certificate they his last name was not recognizable. Were it not for cousin who investigated we would have never known him.

WE CANNOT ALLOW THE GOP TO SEND US BACK TO THAT DARK TIME. GOD DAMN THESE FILTHY DESPICABLE LIARS.

[Justice wanted]

1. Peter Cetera explained it best about the GOP and Women.

2. You made a lot of assumptions without bothering to speak to one of them.

One restaurant catering to families. One.

No pollster on earth would accept that sampling. And you did not sample.

3. Actually I See The Same Thing In Many Places Not Just That Restaurant

I don't take you seriously at all.

4. I think they greatly mistake the consciousness of younger women with and without children

at this time in history. Younger people (especially young women) may not be politically active in the same way we of the older generation are used to. But believe me, they are not stupid and they know what's going on.

They are in the trenches of health-insurance reality, contraception reality, job security reality, tax reality, sexism reality, child-care reality, work/home reality, and every other reality you can imagine.
