do Childless couples vote Dem or Repub?

[pstokely]

what about divorced people? do working mothers vote Dem or Repub? what about housedads?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

1. prolly Dem

just like single people

[mandyky]

2. Many vote Libertarian/GOP

especially greedy ones, who do not want to pay taxes, or feel married couples with children get too many breaks.

3. Pardon me

But childlessness is an a-political condition. People don't have kids for all kinds of reasons from choice to infertility.

These are merely ugly generalizations based on what appears to be simple prejudice of some kind.

4. Why the need to classify everything?

They vote both ways based on their individual beliefs. This line of thought leads to nothing but stereotyping, classism, and prejudice.

There's no rule, "Oh, I'm divorced, so naturally I'm more inclined to one political party." That's a very dangerous perspective.

5. We Can Make All Kinds Of Inference Based On Someone's

staus , relgion, class, race, etcetera.

6. 43% vote repug 51% vote Democratic and 6% other...

there do you feel better now? That is the national average.

7. We do not have children and are super lilberal democrats

because we care about all Americans, not just the rich, and all the children in America.

8. The DLC poll revealed

that the dems have a vast lead among African-Americans, hispanics and whites whose income is below $20K. All other income groups lean Repug.

Married people are much more likely to be Republicans than single people are. Married+kids are even more likely to be Repug.

9. that poll is f*d up....

it is not accurate

22% of respondents said they were part of the "military personnell/soldier" group and that would mean, if it was representative, that there were 50 million military personnell/soldiers in the U.S. an d 16% ID'd themselves as farmers! yeah right! and 24% I.D.'d themselves as "veterans" are there 60 million veterans in this country? that is about one half of the adult male population.

11. I'm skeptical

10. Interesting question

Well, my daughter is 31 single and childless and she votes Democrat. I would hope I had raised her with an open compassionate heart - so far so good. :)

12. Inclinded to think %'s are the same

for childless as for the rest of the population.

I'm a divorced, white femail w/o kids. Would be in the professional/managerial class if I had a job right now. And I will always vote Dem. :dem:

13. Married, no kids.

White, male, vet, make about 60K per year in retirement, married 22 years, live in a semi-rural area, agnostic (wife practicing Catholic).

We both are registered Democrats and usually vote Dem (never republican or libertarian). Both voted for Gore in '00.

We are also both Socialists, pro-choice, anti-war, pro-gun control, pro-environment, anti-death penalty, loathe bush and his masters and lackeys. We may both end up voting Green in '04 unless the Dems run an anti-war candidate.

So, now you know how childless married couples vote.
