Talk about projection! A conservative pundit claims this whole war on women thingy is all ginned up by the Democrats in an attempt to make Republicans look bad and get women to leave the party in droves. If only the Democratic Party were this clever or devious.
You’ve got to hand it to Democratic strategists. Who would have thought six months ago that in the lead up to perhaps the most important presidential election of our time, the hottest political topic in the country would not be the weak economy, high unemployment, the huge national debt, record gas prices, or turmoil in the Middle East. Instead it’s Women’s Rights, or at least that’s what the Democratic party is calling it while miraculously managing to keep a straight face.
Yes, it's those ultra-clever Democratic strategists who dreamed this up in their strategery lab. Let's invent a war on women and blame the GOP! And Republicans, gullible patsies that they are, took the bait hook line and sinker.
How proud the Democratic party must feel right now to have successfully revitalized the civil rights movement in the 21st century by equating it with luxury entitlement. The media must feel pretty good too. They’ve actually been able to substantiate this ridiculous narrative to the American public… or at least a targeted voting block within the American public.
Uh, I don't think the Democratic party is proud of revitalizing the Civil Rights movement. The GOP should be ashamed for putting this phrase back into the current lexicon. Democrats would be happy if this phrase were something kids only learned about in history, not the evening news.
Rush Limbaugh didn't think of denigrating women everywhere by calling us sluts and whores for using contraceptives. The Democrats planted that message into his brain (never mind the wild assumption that he has one). The VA legislature didn't come up with a law requiring transvaginal ultrasound for any woman needing an abortion. The Democrats left a draft of it laying around in plain sight and the GOP helplessly picked it up and ran with it. And this whole contraception thing? No one was talking about it until George Stephanopoulos asked the question of Mitt Romney in a presidential debate and planted the idea into the media's and national consciousness. The GOP would have been perfectly happy to let 'others' subsidize birth control, if the Democrats hadn't given them the idea that there was another way. And the Catholic Church too, bishops everywhere are prisoners of ideas fed to them by Democrats.
The Republicans’ War on Women – that’s the poll-tested talking point coming out of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC these days. Despite the absurdity and insulting nature of the claim, the mantra sure is getting a lot of attention. It’s also proving to be an effective weapon – one of several weapons from a year-long arsenal of distractions designed to keep the Republican party off step, off topic, and constantly on the defensive at a time when President Obama is wrapping up what is surely the most dismal presidential term of my lifetime.
Such projection illustrates the cynical motivations of Republicans, who really do poll test every talking point. That's right, it's just a 'weapon' in the war for votes, and a 'distraction' from real problems. Women's rights, basic human rights are a distraction, and this author claims he knows what is important to women because he sits in a waiting room filled with mothers and overhears their conversations.
And of course, it's all the liberal media's fault for enabling this conspiracy. The writer of this nonsense, John Daly, after handing the Democrats what he believes to be the next surefire war-on-women winning strategy, concludes in a fashion truly overcome by the power of suggestion:
The War on Women angle truly is a testament to the power the mainstream media still has over public perception. When people don’t know what the heck’s really going on, it’s always good for the Democrats at the voting booth.
Sorry, GOP, but you're doing a far, far better job of getting people to desert you and hate you, all on your own.
