Libs in Panic Over Shrinking Gender Gap

RUSH: On CNN's New Day this morning. The guest is CNN's own chief national correspondent John King. And they're talking about the women's vote and the shrinking gender gap, and they're very, very worried. They see this AP poll that shows people support Republicans, women, 42 to 40 over Democrats. They see the gender gap has gone away, and they thought they owned it. They thought they had made this so-called Republican War on Women stick. Now it's disappearing and they know it means disaster, and so they're talking about it on CNN today.

KING: You have to stretch the gender gap as far as they can stretch it. That is the key: Get women to vote, hope that men don't vote because they're discouraged. If you have a huge gender gap in these races, Democrats have a chance. If it shrinks -- and polls, again, show the focus on security issues -- the gender gap comes back toward Republicans a little bit. That's the big battleground in the last 13 days.

CUOMO: It's always boggled my mind, that of all the things wives can get men to do, voting all of a sudden they have absolutely no control. You always hear the wife's lament that, "Oh, I won't even talk to him about politics."

RUSH: That was Chris Cuomo there, by the way. Now, is there a little sexism in there? Chris Cuomo lamenting why can't wives tell their husbands to vote Democrat? Wives tell their husbands everything else to do, why don't they tell them to vote Democrat? And this of course is the objective. I don't have an opinion about anything host of CNN's New Day, Chris Cuomo...

So they're worried about this vanishing gender gap. Yeah, John King says, if it shrinks and the polls show the focus on security issues, the gender gap comes back toward Republicans. That's gonna be the big battleground. Yeah, that and the black vote and the Democrats are on the short end of the stick on both of them, at least according to polling data.

But Chris Cuomo, "It always boggles my mind, with all these things wives can get men to do, why can't they get them to vote Democrat." What is his impression of most marriages, that the women run the show? That the women are telling their husbands what to do, when to do it, how to do it, what not to do, when not to do it, and what's gonna happen if they do do it? Is that what he means, women run relationships? Except when it comes to voting, and for some reason they don't care and they let their stupid husbands do whatever they want instead of getting their minds right?

This is a liberal. This is a guy who's supposed to understand. This is sexist talk. You're not supposed to look at women and men this way. They're all the same. Women telling men what to do, men telling women what to. Doesn't happen. Men and women, they're not different.

So given they brought this up, let's go back. Let's go back to Monday morning on MSNBC and Morning Joe and talking about the recent polls that show that Democrats are struggling with women in the upcoming election. The cohost, Mika Brzezinski, says to Tina Brown, "What do you think is behind these numbers, the Democrats losing women, Tina?"

BROWN: Particularly for women, I don't think he makes them feel safe. They're feeling unsafe. They feel unsafe economically. They're feeling unsafe with regard to the ISIS. They're feeling unsafe about Ebola. What they feel unsafe about is the government response to different crises. And I think that they're beginning to feel a bit that Obama's like that guy in the corner office who's too cool for school, calls a meeting, says this has to change, doesn't put anything in place to make sure it does change. Then it goes wrong, and he's blaming everybody.

RUSH: Wow. That's an indictment on Obama. He's making women feel unsafe about everything, and he doesn't take any accountability for anything. He's always blaming somebody else. Gosh, this Obama guy is really a failure. Last night on Hannity, Sarah Palin showed up. She had a comment about this. Question: "What's your reaction to what Tina Brown said?"

PALIN: Well, ironic, because that little lady, Tina Brown, she is such a big part of the problem. She and her ilk being so uber uppity and so cocksure of their untouchable elitism, they -- who support liberal men who have kept women, unfortunately, kind of embracing this lie that they should be dependent upon government. So Tina Brown, chick, you're a day late and a dollar short. They've been beating the crap out of strong common sense, smart conservative women for years, she and her ilk. So again, day late and a dollar short, Tina.

RUSH: It's a good point. What she's saying is, what is this women feel unsafe because of a president? Women can take charge of their lives. I thought that's what women were supposed to do. I thought feminism was about not depending on a man or a relationship, or anything else. Feminism was about counting on yourself. Feminism was about setting and charting your own course. Feminism was about doing what you want to do, when you want to do it, how you want to do it, and nobody can stop you. Feminism is not about how the first black president makes you feel unsafe. What's that?

And Palin's point is, we've got a lot of really, strong, tough, independent, brilliant conservative Republican women, and they're dumped on all the time by people like Tina Brown, as traitors to the feminist cause, or worse. But it is a good question. What kind of women are these that run around feeling unsafe because of Barack Obama? Now, I mean as she meant it. A lot of us feel threatened by Obama and his policies. Obamacare, the economy, I mean, he's put a lot of obstacles in people's way here. But that's not what she's talking about.

She's talking about unsafe in the sense of security. Government is supposed to make women feel safe and secure and because government will provide all the safety and security and the economic needs, and therefore women can live lives free of disgusting men, insulting predators and so forth. But Obama's letting 'em down, and so these women are exposed. These women are naked out there in the world, and they're vulnerable, and anything bad can happen and they feel unsafe because of Obama. It just doesn't sound like the construct of feminism I always thought they believed in.

Several 2012 polls showed Republicans winning with women, and by an even larger margin with men.

Then the massive vote fraud happened.

It’s going to take even more vote fraud this time for the Rats to keep the Senate!

I remember when the feminists didn’t want men to open doors for them or pick up the check for dinner because they didn’t want to be treated like they were weak or incapable. Now they want the gov’t to treat them like they are weak and incapable.

You’ve come a long way baby! (NOT)

“The rats can not win elections without voter fraud and that is factual
“

I think that goes back to LBJ and JFK. It was even talked about then.

Can I prove anything? No.

FROM HERITAGE FOUNDATION:

100,000 VOTES STOLEN IN CHICAGO

. . .Chicago, however, is known for its fires, and there was a roaring one there in 1982 that resulted in one of the largest voter fraud prosecutions ever conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The telltale smoke arose out of one of the closest governor's races in Illinois history; and as for the fire, the U.S. Attorney in Chicago at the time, Daniel Webb, estimated that at least 100,000 fraudulent votes (10 percent of all votes in the city) had been cast.[2] Sixty-five individuals were indicted for federal election crimes, and all but two (one found incompetent to stand trial and another who died) were convicted. [3]

This case of voter fraud is worth studying today because it illustrates the techniques that political machines and organized political groups use to steal elections. Even in the present day, this threat is not hypothetical: Tactics similar to those documented in the Chicago case have come to light in recent elections in Philadelphia and in the states of Wisconsin and Tennessee. The Daley machine may be legendary in modern times for its election fraud prowess, but these recent cases show that the incentives and opportunities for fraud have not lessened. Guarding against these tactics can make the difference between a fair election and a stolen election, particularly where the margins of victory are narrow and just a few fraudulent votes can change the outcome. . .

I have been married for 43 years. I love my wife. If she ever told me to “vote democrat” I would be living in an apartment for the first time in 40 years. But it will never happen. My wife is a pro life, pro freedom, pro USA Army vet with a carry license and our daughters are like minded. I really don’t understand how inter political marriages work but I admit to being old and old fashioned.

Thanks for that info.

I was a MA voter in 1960 and rumors flew that Old Joe had Illinois “fixed” to get JFK the votes needed.

I never doubted it because the old guy was a power mad criminal IMHO.

I don’t doubt that there is fraud, but the near-0 birthrate of whites is creating a scenario where eliminating the gender gap would be meaningless. Non-whites of both genders, along with deviants (a small but reliable constituency), could probably deliver a third term to Obama at this point.

The demographic collapse of WASP America is much worse than you’ll ever see reported.

Men, Women don't much care for proven liars. The media can only cover up so many lies. He tells lies about being surprised what he just found out his administration did in the papers. BTW, women wanting to run the show is the curse God gave after the woman disobeyed God in the garden of eden. The woman's lib movement is from the pit of hell and everything about it is wrong and evil.

I hear about it everyday from my 29 year old daughter and her friends. They so want to be successful and independent and they are, but so conflicted with wanting even more to be married and be Moms. Most of the boys/men? they are meeting are so opposed/frightened of committment or maybe strong and independent woman, they dont want to marry or have children.

Or, maybe they've seen their dads taken to the cleaners in divorce and put into indentured servitude for alimony and child support, all the while with their sainted mothers running them down every chance they get and are saying no thanks. Your strong and independent looks like an adversarial home life at best and a recipe for court-ordered poverty at worst to them. Just a thought.

Seymour Hersh in his book about JFK said Joe Sr. enlisted the help of the Chicago mob to swing Illinois and West Virginia for Kennedy. Nixon’s supporters urged him to contest the election based on evidence of voter fraud. Nixon declined saying he did not want to be remembered for creating a constitutional crisis—ironic considering Watergate.
