In reply to the discussion: Women are “barely receptive” to Republican policies — GOP poll [View all]calimary
(81,238 posts)Glad you're here! I think it might more accurately be - "republi-CON policies sound like shit" (because they ARE shit)!
I saw that dingbat kellyanne conway on - I think - "Hardball" today. MAN has she been coached as to what to say and how to say it! Constant toothy smile, even when challenged or disagreed with/disagreeing. She's a republi-CON pollster. She doesn't get it either. And frankly, I say GOOD!!!!
She blathered on about how that wasn't REALLY true and OUR polls show different things and women LIKE what the GOP stands for, when it's explained to them, and blah blah blah. Oh sure, girlfriend. Just like your polls show it's president romney, too.
But that's GOOD! Let them steep in their delusions! Let them keep thinking that what they're REEEEEEEALLY doing and what they REEEEEEEALLY stand for is GOOD! And everybody likes it! And why should we consider changing any of our policies? We don't need to! They just have to be explained better! They're still clinging to "our policies are just fine. We just haven't explained them effectively enough!" All it is to them - is the messaging. Not what their messaging is ABOUT. The packaging - how it's packaged. Not a moment's thought about WHAT they're packaging and trying to sell.
But let them live in their delusions. As America changes and evolves away from them, and they cling to their stupid, harmful, greedy, selfish, shortsighted, intolerant little policies, they'll be left behind in large numbers. The woman on with her, supposedly taking the opposing view, did point out the fact of the "browning of America" and how nothing the GOP is doing strives to appeal to that changing reality in this country. As long as they want to cling to their shitty ideas that only appeal mainly to old white men, the demographic change and evolution in this country is pretty much going to bury them.
They'll never do what they should, to gain ground with women: screw the messaging about the same old crappy misogynistic policies. Enough with the messaging about the policies. CHANGE THE FRICKIN' POLICIES!!!
