All the Single Ladies! (all the single ladies)

I have heard this topic discussed on many political talk show forums this week:  Single women support the re-election of President Obama over the election of Govenor Mitt Romney two to one.  Both sides of the political spectrum have given their rational for this and I have listened and have decided they are both wrong on all accounts.

You've heard the arguments......

There's the fiscal/economic argument.  Many single women are not financially secure and may rely on government programs to support themselves and their families.  While that may be true; the majority of people on welfare are single mothers. I do not think that is the number one reason why they support Obama over Romney.

There's the social argument.  Many single women are more likely to be socially liberal and have social values in line with the left.  That is a pretty good bet, but it can't be the main reason to choose a national leader.

And of course there is the the birth control argument.  Free birth control!  Finally!  You know men....they think with their baby maker so women must too.  But, I digress.  These are all things that may factor into some women's decisions, but it really isn't the main reason why single women in general support Barry over Mitt.

Maybe.....just maybe....it is because single ladies are really good at picking out the guy who is really BAD!

I was single for a long time......a long time!  What I remember most about being single is my single girlfriends and I complaining about how all the guys we dated were complete jerks!  I still hear my single friends making the same complaints.  Things haven't changed. 

You meet a guy; he is nice looking, has a great smile, says all the right things, and shows you a really good time.  He makes you all these promises and takes you to all these great places where he has all these really cool friends.  You are blown away by his charm and charisma so you give him what he wants.......NO!  Not that!  Your VOTE! And then he takes off to Washington.  Your hopes are high; you still believe in him.  After all he wouldn't have promised all those things if he didn't mean them....  This guy was different.....he said he was.....you trusted him!  You hope.......no change.

Three years go by and he hasn't fulfilled any of those promises. And here he he comes again.  He sends you a friend request on Facebook, or a text, "What's up, Baby?" He's on....The View.....sigh...... Maybe you see him at a town meeting and you just can't help watching, listening, or going in hopes of running into him because obviously he's "interested" again.   You can't resist that smile, but he is still peddling the same lines, but he's so dreamy and still has all those cool friends......WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?

Think of the movie Hitch.  All those single women interested in dating the cool guys and getting their hearts broken over and over again because they wouldn't get over themselves long enough to give the guys who were decent, steady, solid, honest, and smart a chance.  Well, that is the same thing we have going on here.  Until the single ladies get over themselves, they are just going to keep getting their hearts broken.  The problem for the rest of America is that they are a large enough demographic we may all end up getting our hearts and our country broken.

So, single ladies I say it is time to break up!
