"The men in the Republican Party may not think they’re fighting a “war on women,” but its female senators certainly do. Yesterday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Kay Bailey Hutchison in criticizing the GOP’s push for legislation to restrict access to contraception and other basic health care services: “It makes no sense to make this attack on women,” she said at a local Chamber of Commerce luncheon. “If you don’t feel this is an attack, you need to go home and talk to your wife and your daughters.” Murkowski — who recently said she regretted her vote for the anti-woman Blunt amendment — promised to fight for Planned Parenthood funding and also spoke out against Rush Limbaugh’s attack of Sandra Fluke, adding, “To have those kind of slurs against a woman … you had candidates who want to be our president not say, ‘That’s wrong. That’s offensive.’ They did not condemn the rhetoric.”"

This is why the GOP is going to lose in 2012. You can't piss off 52% of the voters and expect to win.

A substantial number of women actually agree with the notion of restricting access to contraception; I'd imagine the actual percentage of the electorate getting pissed off is 40%.
(Also, the female portion of the population actually is something that barely rounds up to 51% FYI.)

^Women participate at a higher rate in elections. They're probably close to 55% of voters.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you guys are missing the point.

The question is: Who's better-looking?

Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?


This could be toughest decision yet for women everywhere.

Thank fucking God. It's about time someone in the GOP spoke up with some common sense and decency. They can't all be as retarded as the policies they propose.
