The strategy of declaring that the Republicans have a "War On Women" appears to be backfiring. Personally, I think overall what I see as the extreme and entrenced bigotries of old Democrats is backfiring as is the tactics of division overall, dividing people into opposing camps on:

Race
Religion
Economic class
Age
Gender
Geographic location

The "War of Women" claim by Democrats is grotesquely sexist.
1. The attitude is that women are only a collection of reproductive parts for which they need Democrats to protect them against unwanted pregnancies Republicans want to force on them - and that all the other issues - economy and foreign policy - are the men's issues.
2. That abortion and contraceptions are only "womens" issues and of no interest to men.
To try to make the election women versus men.

Nationally, Obama has gone from a 14% lead among women voters to a 0% lead. You'd think they'd have figured out by now that the strategy isn't working, rather than doubling down on it.
 
As a woman, I was always offended that Democratic men kept telling me that the GOP had declared "war" on me - it made me detest the Democratic more. I have no respect for women who actually bought that nonsense. And Obama & Co. took it for granted....and look what happened.

Democrats always prey on who they feel are weak by telling them that they're victims, are being picked on, and need the big bad Dems to protect them. They've done it to blacks, Hispanics, the handicapped, gays, and women for years. It's disgusting.

It's more pathetic that women actually believe it.
 
The conservative war on women's bodies is disgusting. The attempt by the rightwing noise machine to pretend teabaggers don't say what they said is pitiful.

Liberal men are always dreaming about gay sex apparently. They can't get the thought of "teabagging" out of their minds. Maybe the word "women" is upsetting to them.

I actually agree with you on alot of points. Taken separately...contraception is an issue that's pretty important to both individuals in a relationship or household. Abortion is classified as a womans issue but a lot of women are...anti-abortion.

I do think in general though when you take all instances together the Republican party (from equal pay to contraception and abortion) have a 50's era mentality and their policies reflect it.

I do find it rich that apparently Republicans aren't about division. Wasn't Romney talking about 47% of the country that he's not worried about? Don't Republicans always talk about the coasts/urban populations/government workers/educational elite etc?

The idea that Republicans in anyway don't divide is a crock of :eek:uch:
 
I can understand somebody who believes that life begins at conception and opposes my right to choose on that basis.

I also understand pandering to women by offering them free birth control and pretending to take "new" steps on equality.

Ultimately, though, I feel more disrespected by the pandering than by the pro-life righties. I am not an idiot, and I do not need you to offer me free **** in order for me to vote for you. In fact, doing so will almost always lead to me voting against you.

Yep, that's how stupid and culturally illiterate teabaggers are:

Looks who's talking! Homophobes do nothing but talk about male/male sex!

Project much? The OP does.

I bet you do.

The OP is another example of the rightwing reverso meme: Tea baggers attack women's rights, and conservative whine when women point it out.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I'm really happy the rightwing noise machine is so freaked out that its war on women is being exposed that there's another bogus OP saying they aren't!

It's classic teabagger memery.
 
The democrats have yet to figure out that the women they think they are protecting the reproductive rights of are more interested in putting food on the table, paying their bills, and keeping a roof over their heads, but go right ahead and keep some stupid abortion comments on the top of your talking points as relayed in ye olde "Message of the Day" emails.

Since Romney has nothing to offer on the economic front except more of Bush's failed policies, this hardly changes the fact that the GOP is attacking the reproductive rights of women.

It's rather comical to see an OP deny it since the GOP admits it. They brag about it, while wallowing in rhetoric about legitimate rapes and God's will for raped women. Sick.
 
Which of "Bush's failed policies" did Obama overturn that Romney wants to re-engage?

Okay, that's probably off topic.

I love how Liberal men think that women want them to act as their knghts in shining armor against the big bad GOP.

Women want money. Who is going to give it to them? That is what will determine female support.

Progressives are not the brightest of the bulbs in the box... First off - I love woman - but at the same time they don't have the right to murder innocent fetuses under the ruse that it's "my body" - what about their (the fetuses) body? At one point those feminine bodies were once a fetus... An individual isn't a body part and a fetus is an individual...

Of course, my position on that issue makes me hate woman because I oppose them killing babies...

Oh yeah I also oppose FREE contraceptives so that means I hate woman..

You know what? progressives are like little children who scream "mommy you hate me because you wont buy me ___________"

Exactly.

You oppose abortion?

Then you hate women.

You don't want to provide women with free contraceptives?

Then you hate women.

I wonder what happens if you oppose some of their other stances?

You don't want the government to provide people with food stamps?

Then you want people to starve to death.

You don't want to provide people with free healthcare?

Then you want people to die in the streets.

You are against Social Security?

Then you want old people to be thrown off a cliff.
 
Romney / Republicans want to shutdown Planned Parenthood which provides heath services to especially low income women. They also want to overturn Roe v. Wade. They also don't like equal pay for equal work for women.

And none of those equal "hating women"

and btw, there is a difference between shutting down PP and cutting its public funding.

There are no womans rights - there are human rights and constitutional liberties.............

If you want equality then treat people equal...No instead your ilk sees white and black - man and woman......

Lets go beyond that tho - in what universe does a child belong to the mother? It takes two to tango - or to level it down to your understanding - it takes two to make a baby. So if it takes two why should the father have no say? not only that but what gives a woman "ownership" over a fetus which is a human and a human body?

Woman don't have the right to a) kill a child and b) pretend like the father doesn't care or exist and c) delusionally pretend it is some sort of womans liberation to murder a child.
