What Do Republican Women Want?

Outside observers have noted the recent barrage of statements and facts that have repeatedly reminded interested parties that the GOP has a female problem. These pricks of conscience have been an almost daily disturbance to the message discipline of the Republican National Convention. Todd Akin may have teed up the subject more precisely than most, but the ball was rolling back in May, when polls showed an astounding 20-point gender gap between Obama and Romney. Since Akin misspoke himself into a soundbite, we've seen things that seem to explain that gap.

There was the party's decision to ratify the policy that Akin was championing when he introduced the idea of "legitimate rape": the Republican party platform, designated to be formally adopted Tuesday, calls for outlawing all abortions, with no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest or if the pregnancy puts the life of the mother at risk.

The selection of Paul Ryan as the party's vice-presidential nominee highlighted a more immediately relevant view: in Congress, Ryan voted to support banning federal funding to any clinic that performs abortions and denying payment for abortions via federal insurance voucher or Medicaid. This seems a less extreme position, allowing at least a woman with the means to do so control over her reproductive organs. You see just how radical the legislation really was only if you consider its articulated exceptions for federal funding of abortions: first of all, for those "forcible rapes" that so excited Akin's imagination, and second, for incest survivors – if the pregnant woman in question is still a minor. Over 18 and pregnant by a relative? What, your uterus didn't know?

And then, there's serial hatchet man and noted genealogist Donald Trump. Tuesday morning, he unleashed an unprovoked attack on internet publisher Arianna Huffington: she "is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision."

1. Republican women want whatever their husband or father wants

They don't think for themselves.

2. Money, Money, money.

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money

3. My take on the Republican Wifey

Their husbands are so overbearing. The 1 area they can control is how passionate they get about something there husband's likes. so they will put on a great show about how Republican they are. but once you break through the fake wall and really get to know them you discover how unhappy they really are.

they drop little codes that you may not pick up at first. once I had a girlfriend tell me Heather my marriage is not like yours I can't just say anything I want to say. that girl friend recently left her husband.

another 1 once told me oh whatever my husband does is what we do. she is actually left her husband as well.

6. Have you noticed that when Donald Trump disagrees with a woman,

that he always first attacks her physical beauty. Then he dismisses her personality, and finally, he condemns her ideas. I'm a straight female Sr citizen, and personally, I find Ariana to be a very attractive older woman. Her web site is rather shallow and too entertainment oriented for my tastes, but I don't begrudge people, who like her site.

Here's what I know from my own experience that women want:

A good education that leads to a good well-paying job, and ditto for their children
A decent place to live in a safe neighborhood
Birth control for women of child bearing age
Health and dental care for themselves and their family
Some leisure time for themselves and their family

If you know women with domineering husbands, please remind them that when they vote, it's on a secret ballot. Their husbands need not know how they vote.
