The verdict is in: the Democrats’ "War on Women" drumbeat, with a healthy assist from a few knuckle-dragger GOP Senate candidates, helped win the election for Barack Obama.
On Tuesday, the electorate turned out once again to be more female than male, by the same 6-point margin as in 2008. Nationally, the ladies overwhelmingly preferred President Obama, 55 to 44 percent.
GOP, you have a problem.
The media treated the “War on Women” as being primarily about reproductive issues, but not so the Obama campaign. Team Obama knew that the issue that women cared about the most was the economy, and reminded women constantly that the hostility the GOP shows toward the government could leave single women in a perilous situation. Republicans ridiculed “The Life of Julia,” but it was a brilliant campaign outreach tactic that showed how a Romney administration would affect women in a way that left nothing to the imagination.
Adding to the alienation of women voters this year were deeply troubling comments from GOP Senate candidates about rape, a tirade by Rush Limbaugh calling a woman a slut for testifying about the availability of birth control, and so on. Yes, Bill Maher is a pig and says terrible things about women too, but voters don’t view him as a leader in the Democratic Party in the same way Limbaugh is viewed in the GOP.
If the GOP ever wants the keys to the White House again they’d be wise to learn how to show a little respect to these women.

I get the point, but before we get all high & mighty, I’m sure there will be conservatives to fall before this is all over.
Great post (repost?)! Thanks. Brings a smile to my face. Shaking my head at how the media controlled the narrative with the demoncrap’s help. All just one big crap sandwich that a majority bought. Amazing. And shameful.

Whatever happened to her? I remember her on Fox Snooze and haven't seen her in years. Oh well ...........
From the “whatever happened to...” files.
I don’t think you get the point. It was a fake narrative. Calling the Republicans the ‘War on Women’ party. Before that it was ‘Culture of Corruption’party. It’s like how the democrats call themselves the party of civil rights. History is forgotten/rewritten.
When growing up it was my belief that women were to be respected. That it had always been that way. Why is this such a big deal today?
Women have never wanted respect.
Just power.
The reason you haven’t seen Kirsten Powers in years is because she works for CNN.
respecting women, YES!!!!!
respect men, too, YES!!!
note that most of the disrespect of women, or outright abuse of women, comes from the leftist Democraps these days,
so this is an “issue” that will cut in favor of good R candidates
Proving just how stupid she really is.
I do get it. And the Dims & liberals are total hypocrites, but I also suspect there will be conservatives who will also be outed before we have a final tally.
Yes. I’m sure there will be. But when they shout that the other party is the ‘War on Women’party... something about stones and glass houses. Anyway, I don’t even know if I identify as a republican anymore so my point isn’t to defend them. The swamp is both parties; the establishment types. I know I am definitely the opposite of a democrat. lol. I guess independent or conservative.
Thanks Oldeconomybuyer. Nyuk nyuk nyuk. Now, back to the real story, the one that the Partisan Media Shills refuse to cover:
I wish her luck, but working over at CNN bodes badly for her mental health.
