He’s absolutely correct.
None of this was an error or “rookie mistake” by Obama either. This was part of a calculated attack on social values and religious beliefs.
Dick Morris has made an excellent point: Abortion is no longer a winning issue for the Left, because the country is not more pro-life than pro-choice. So, they are attempting to bring contraception up as a new issue, under some ridiculous theory that Republicans are going to try to limit access to contraceptives.
Think back to the debate where George Stephy was the ABC/DNC moderator...remember when he brought up contraception and even Romney dismissed it?
Where do you think that argument came from? Georgie is a paid operative of the Democrat Left, just doing his job.
Team Obama is high fiving up and down the west wing halls listening to everyone being duped by the red herring they have thrown to the media bottom feeders.
Mandating the health care insurers cover birth control is akin to mandating that auto insurers cover the purchase of new tires.
I promise you that once this firestorm is concluded, in favor of Christians (represented by the RC church), it will come up again.
Quite soon.
Next iteration will invoke either Santeria or Islam.
After all, if the government can't force Christians to go against their teachings, how can you argue that sacrificing animals, living under a veil, or beheading apostates according to those savage tenets can be denied?
Of course saving lives and ritually taking lives, living in sunlight and living in darkness, are absolute opposites, but the argument will not respect that and those merely observing the debate will not accommodate that.
No, " None of this was an error or rookie mistake
