Pelosi sees party's chances surging on gender gap (The wonders&perils of modern psychotropics)

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the highest-ranking elected woman in the United States, plunged Wednesday into the heated battle over gender gap politics, arguing that Republicans and their party's presumptive nominee, Mitt Romney, have alienated millions of women voters.

That helps Democrats' chances of taking back the House of Representatives, Pelosi said at a news conference in San Francisco.

"I would have said, two months ago, we had a fifty-fifty chance of winning the House," she said. "Since then, so much changed because women have shifted in large measure to the president and to the Democrats." Pelosi cited GOP budget proposals that she said would slash funding for Medicare, health care and contraceptives.

Those moves, Pelosi said, make her more optimistic that her party will regain control of the House in the November election.

Pelosi appeared particularly fired up about Romney's claims this week that President Obama's policies have resulted in women making up "92.3 percent" of all unemployed Americans. The claim was deemed to be "mostly false" by Politifact, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-check group.

The DNC/ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE have removed access
to many womens’ health monitoring and treatments.

And the rates — like the WAITS — are going UP UP UP.

The rest is fabricated by Teams Obama and Team Romney.

“Pelosi sees party’s chances surging on gender gap...?”

She should be more concerned about the 40 mile wide “air gap” between her ears.

The Democrats are a bunch of liars. They have to have their demons.

Looking and listening to Nancy is a quick way to quench a flame. Get that dummy out there front and center.

Keep preachin’ it, Nancy! Women know which party hates them, and everybody knows that the economy and the employment situation is as bad as ever.

People will vote against Democrat BS this November.

Why hell yes with those San Francisco rose colored glasses you see a lot of things.
I'll bet you can see your 757 too.
Somebody else is now flying in it. . . . .
Go ahead and believe it. . . . . . . The Tea party and the two if by tea crowd will see that you don't get any of the things you want.
Keep dreaming . It wasn't a dream to US it was a nightmare when you were speaker. . . . . .
