Yes, Rush made a strategic error by name-calling. That's now the story-line, instead of the substance of the issue. Rush, Georgetown, and the right in general have a simple script they should follow:
"No one is denying Ms. Fluke access to birth-control. No one is suggesting her access be limited. Ms. Fluke chose to attend a Catholic institution, knowing full-well and in advance that any health plans offered through the university had exclusions for birth-control. She chose to attend anyway. Ms. Fluke still, and always, has the option of obtaining insurance independent of Georgetown, and that would provide the coverages she seeks. You would have to ask Ms. Fluke why she didn't choose this route, but let's be clear: not having the option available from Georgetown University does not mean she does not have other options.
As to the larger issue of leftists, under the guise of US Government policy, mandating health insurance inclusions, we maintain that such mandates are violations of the Constitution, on both religious freedom and commerce grounds, and we will not bow to such pressure. Consider us conscientious objectors. If the Government would like to sue Georgetown, or the Catholic Church, that is their option. But be assured, it will be pursued to the Supreme Court if necessary, and the leftists clearly will lose."
Other lines of discussion regarding who pays, what's free vs. not, whether evil Republicans are setting women's rights back decades, etc. are ALL side-shows - DESIGNED to distract us from the key goal and mission of unseating Obama this fall. The democrat polices have failed, and are failing still. REAL unemployment is over 15%; the national debt is an immense burden on us and future generations; the deficit is unsustainable, as are the continual and increase future obligations for ObamaCare. Energy policies are incoherent, and dangerous to our national security and national interests. $4.00 gasoline is costing the average driver nearly $2,000/year more than when Obama took office. Etc., etc., etc.
We need to stay focused people!
