Fox News Tell Young Women Not To Vote

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/22/fox-news-young-women-voters-kimberly-guilfoyle-midterm-election_n_6028054.html

"The Five" co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle said Tuesday that young women should excuse themselves from voting in the upcoming midterm elections because they don't share the same "life experience" as older women and should just go back to playing around on Tinder and Match.com.

"It's the same reason why young women on juries are not a good idea," Guilfoyle said. "They don't get it!"

Well, what do you make of that?

I will tell them Republicans think women are too stupid to vote. Which is true. Ann Coulter said it was a mistake to give women the right to vote. I am pretty sure with the laws on voter ID especially in Texas where every time you change your name you need to get a new ID that is especially true.

You're a Repuke. I see nothing wrong with these stupid women telling other GOP stupid women not to vote. I agree with them. Your party thinks you're too stupid to vote, so stay home.

I only see this stuff here when it's posted for laughs or linked to on Yahoo. I wonder if this was her idea or something that came up in committee.

for Democrats. And the races this year show women having a 20 point gap in favor of Democrats in the mid-terms. No wonder they're terrified.

Women have moved in the GOP’s direction since September. In last month’s AP-GfK poll, 47 percent of female likely voters said they favored a Democratic-controlled Congress while 40 percent wanted the Republicans to capture control. In the new poll, the two parties are about even among women, 44 percent prefer the Republicans, 42 percent the Democrats.

Keep in mind that Obama is not on the ballot. Last mid-terms the Democrats got their clocks cleaned. Mid-term elections are different than presidential elections. The same turnout won't be there.

WTF????? I don't get THAT. republi-CONS offer nothing to women but potential loss of the right to vote, the definite loss of the right to health care, the definite loss of the right to decide what happens to one's body, the right to be educated, the right to be paid decently and the same as a man for equal work, and the right to become some man's property at which point said woman should know it's now her job to shut up and lie down and spread her legs as directed.

When you already have it spoken aloud, in public, by "high profile" public figures - that women shouldn't have the right to vote - bank on it. They'll be coming for it as soon as they think they can get away with it.

I didn't realize it but if it's on Fox News it has to be true.
They don't lie like other TV channels and scientists and doctors and schools and newspapers and encyclopedias and liberals.
The only reliable source of true information in the whole world is Fox News and Republican web sites.

Didn't you know that?

Been saving that up? Just two questions, you say "we". Do you represent a group, and did you write that yourself?
I can get behind the sentiment, but I can't travel to Ferguson.
