Now shut yer cake-hole and get back in the kitchen and make me a turkey pot pie.

If they lose their job, their children don’t eat—unless, of course, the government provides them with some help. They aren’t “moochers,”

=><= Sorry, these two sentences are contradictions.

I am single, never married

That says a lot right there. Usually, that’s enough of a clue to send most men running.

I pay about $1800/month for my PPO. A lot of it goes to stuff I don’t use, but the state mandates. I’m paying not only for my family but for coverage the government wants to socialize. If you want to get rid of all the mandates, it would save me money. However, it is the elderly milking the system not girls with contraceptives.

Is being a liar considered a pre-existing condition?

Sorry. Had to speak like a Demobrat for a second. My vagina doesn’t actually speak but Demobrats won’t listen to my brain.

I assume you don’t recognize the irony of unleashing such a breathtakingly sexist bit of verbiage and then claiming that you value women.

Except, of course, that the GOP does treat women as equals. We campaign to them on economic issues, assuming that they’re just people, people who care about their jobs and families. We don’t campaign to them as walking, talking uteri who only care about The Pill and abortion.

If they lose their job, their children don’t eat—unless, of course, the government provides them with some help.

Shouldn’t their baby-daddies be feeding their kids?

Start sacrificing.

Grow up, single women. Woman up.

The government is forcing them to pay for the elderly. It would be better for the young to get the government out of healthcare and let them seek plans with cheaper premiums.

Young unmarried women don’t know anything about any of that. They’re even dumber economically than young unmarried men.

The fact is, my generation simply does not believe the GOP when they talk about liberal economics and the slide to socialism. It sounds like just another dubious talking point on the long list that both parties have. Those of us who are politically aware know what happened in the 1970s and those of us who are not starry eyed liberals know why it happened. But if you ask the average 30 year old and reminded him about gas shortages in the 1970s, he would guess that it had something to do with Iran, and if you asked about stagflation he might blame it on Nixon.

Remember, the Carter administration is what created the Reagan Democrats. That’s what has to happen to my generation, unfortunately. The best thing for the GOP is to hold fast on things that can’t be rolled back, but on things that can be changed (like tax rates), Obama needs to have his way.

(Of course, that’s the exact opposite of what Boehner is like to do. He’s already swearing blood oaths not to raise taxes on the rich, and caving to Obamacare.)
