    Yea, just remember SHE (the person who slammed a “stay at home mom”) was tied to the DNC. That would be DEMOCRATS.

    More like the Republicans are making it obvious to women that it would be foolish to vote for them. Women CAN’T be told how to vote and the Democrats know that.

    One one hand you have Ann Romney “insulted” with the truth.On the other side you have forced vaginal probes.Not a tough choice.

    (Taking the liberty of reposting a pertinent post from “Radish, no one you know” on a recent Chip Bok thread):What to expect from a Transvaginal Sonogram, Women Beware: Republicans Will Probe Your Privates.Limba wants you to make porn movies for him if a penny of his tax dollar pays for female contraception..Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP’s War on Women1) Republicans not only want to reduce women’s access to abortion care, they’re actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven’t yet. Shocker.2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to “accuser.” But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain “victims.”3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.5) In Congress, Republicans have a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.

    6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids’ preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.

    7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.9) Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.10) And if that wasn’t enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can’t make this stuff up).http://pol.moveon.org/waronwomen/

    Yep, boyyyyy howdy, look at the way you refuted his argument point by point.

    Actaully, you didn’t, you just dismissed it out of hand because of the source…without even the slightest explanation of why that source is invalid, except some childish sarcasm on your part.

    This argument goes to Yassir….deal with it.

    Thanks…PLEASE keep that up. Keep making statements that drive women voters away from the Republican party. Us Dems will just be sitting back, enjoying our popcorn, and having a good laugh at your expense.

    Destroyed? Huge Gaffe? Have you been watching republicans the last few months? Look up some of the laws proposed by them, including repealing an equal pay law. Which do you think woman care more about, a comment directed at a woman who hired people to care for her kids, or equal pay laws being repealed.

    Tigger is apparently incapable of reading Ms Rosen’s whole statement. She did not attack stay at home moms.Leave it to the right wing nuts to distort and edit someone;s comments to suit their own purposes.

    ROFL

    You seriously think you can equate that ONE comment with the ongoing Repubilcan campaign against women?

    Not even close, Tig Not…even within a hundred miles. All Ms. Rosen did was say the wrong thing, whereas the Republicans are ACTING against women with their legislative agenda….rolling back equal pay, forcing transvaginal ultrasounds…the list goes on and on.

    And as the saying goes, action speaks louder than words…at least on planet earth

    Hell, you can’t even equate Hillary Rosen’s remarks to Rush Limbaugh’s remarks about Sandra Fluke. One sentence against three full days of vitriol.

    Sorrr-reeee…the only women this is going to drive away from the Obama camp are the ones who weren’t going anywhere near it anyway

    I know you’d like to believe that nonsense, but, it’s still nonsense. Women didn’t vote for Obama because of Oprah. Oprah voted for him because she’s a woman…and understands where her best interests are served. So do other women. You seem to think that women are like puppies that need to be trained. They are NOT! Also, for stupid premise number 2: women don’t turn against the entire Democratic party because one operative made a sloppy statement. They know better than you, that’s why your candidates don’t have a chance this year. Wait and see.

    He actually put Michelle & Family in the no attack zone in 2008. Was in a interview. Can not remember the station or the female interviewer.

    Since the Santorum dropped out, the tea bags and the kochheads have upped the ante…..time for real Americans to step up and take down the ALEC backed laws that keep all Americans from voting. Turn up the heat and do the right thing!

    Ima, it’s up to you if you want to agree with all these actions by Republicans. But pretending they aren’t true won’t make them go away. Either disagree with your party, or support their war on women. Your choice.

    Romney says poor women shouldn’t stay at home to look after the kids like his wife did, but instead should be forced to work.

    And guess who they’re voting for… hint: not the one offering them free birth control in exchange for higher taxes, higher gas prices, and higher unemployment
