RNC Statement on Women’s History Month

Posted March 1, 2014

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following statement marking the beginning of Women’s History Month:

“Today marks the beginning of Women’s History Month, which gives us all the opportunity to celebrate women’s contributions to our country throughout our history—and especially to honor those women who fought to make this country a more just and equal place,” said Chairman Priebus.

“The Republican Party is proud to have played a leading role in securing women’s right to vote. When Susan B. Anthony defied the law and voted in 1872, she proudly voted the Republican ticket. She and other suffragists worked with her friend Republican Senator A.A. Sargent to introduce the 19th Amendment. And it took a Republican Congress to finally pass it in 1919.

“The Republican Party continues to uphold the principle of equal opportunity for all that has guided us from the very beginning. And as we celebrate the women of our party and country this month, we continue our fight for equal opportunity.”

“I’m always inspired by the stories of our country’s strong-willed women. I’m especially inspired by those suffragettes and their decades-long fight for voting rights,” said Co-Chairman Day.

“Republican women have a history of being trailblazers, breaking ground and glass ceilings — from Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to be elected to both the House and the Senate, to the nation’s first Latina governor, Susana Martinez of New Mexico and the country’s youngest sitting governor, Nikki Haley of South Carolina.

“Republicans continue to offer a positive agenda for America’s women, as we work to create more job opportunities, lighten the tax burden, and reduce the cost of healthcare. Our policy goals are driven by the desire to do what’s best for women—not by scoring cynical political points.

“Today my granddaughters have opportunities that past generations could only dream about, but we can’t forget women in countries around the world who don’t enjoy equal rights and the same opportunities. Let’s rededicate ourselves to being a beacon of freedom and opportunity this Women’s History Month.”

So either Sarah Palin is not Republican or she’s not a woman. Last I checked, she was both and quite impressive and remarkable at each. The picture he just described above is everything Sarah exemplifies. What chutzpah!

I am leaving this up to you (readers) to respond to Reince Priebus. You can go to his Facebook page, Twitter thread using the post above or under his blog at this link to comment. Above all.. please donate to SarahPac and forget the PC-ridden and rotten to the core leaders of our party. They are the ones who are the reason for our party’s denise. This alone gives the left reason to say there is a war against women on our side. That mantra that is coming from the left .. is exactly right if they do this to Sarah. Like or dislike her, they are shooting themselves (and us) in the foot by doing this. Fools. But this will make her bigger.

What kind of beacon of freedom and opportunity is it to dismiss the most important woman in our lifetime – one they owe their successes, not failures to. It is nothing short of mindboggling and hostile. Enough is enough!

This is an outrageous omission and a deliberate one to spark a fuse among us. I am suspicious they are declaring war yet again because someone behind the scenes must be very nervous she might run in 2016. How dare they? Sarah IS a monumental figure in American not just women’s history. They cannot wrap their heads around that. I chimed in. So did others. More to come..

Well, seeing as how they are not our friends and have demonstrated time and time again that they are not only not our friends, but that they loathe us, maybe me ought to stop expecting them to behave as if they are our friends.

i noticed that he used “the first blah, blah, blah” formula... so maybe because she was not the first female VP nominee he did not mention her... he was stuck on his formula... i don’t know... i am simply grasping i suppose...

Why should he mention her? I am a big fan but historically she hasn’t done anything to warrant recognition outside of Alaska. Should he have said “Sarah Palin who resigned as Governor of Alaska and failed to win the Vice Presidency as the second woman to ever run?”

Exactly, declaring Sarah special in Women’s History by these two losers is rather like expecting them to declare Ted Cruz Man of the Month cuz Sarah has been the GOPe’s earliest and most vociferous and high profile critic.

Fighter that Sarah is, this may motivate her to declare for President tonight...................LOL!

Doing silly stuff like this does not help the GOPe. So, great, I hope they enjoy this pathetic little slap at Sarah.

Same clown that sat on the Chris Plante show and said Cuch wasn’t in need of the funds, they were sent to NJ because the race was in question...or some such lie...

Chris kind of harumphed!! him but he (Prebius) said they gave Cuch all the help he wanted.....(not exact quotes mind you, the gist of the conversation)...
BUT, IMNSHO Plant did not attempt to take him to task either.

Uh, she’s the first Republican female to ever run and she’s been the backbone of the Tea Party since 2009. After the 2008 election Gov. Sarah Palin helped lead Republicans to the greatest congressional victory in several generations during the 2010 election with her endorsements and rallies all over the country; she has endorsed 73 candidates for the US House of Representatives and Senate; state governors and attorney generals. Her success rate is at 69%. 18 out of 20 targets in her Take Back the 20 campaign; this is a 90% success rate! Sarah Palin also had a very strong hand in the party’s few successes during this election. Sarah Palin campaigned for constitutional conservatives like Ted Cruz, Deb Fischer, Paul Gosar, resulting in 5 conservatives being elected to the Senate and 32 conservatives to the House. She has repeatedly been a leading voice against the dangers of ObamaCare and the risks of President Obama’s approach to energy and was the first Republican to make a high-profile critique of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing.

It was a very winnable race and the GOPe flubbed because the candidate was “too” conservative

"Should he have said “Sarah Palin who resigned as Governor of Alaska and failed to win the Vice Presidency as the second woman to ever run?”"

Sew a flag, rally eugenicists to commit abortions, bask in the glory of first-ladydom... those are all noteworthy.

Lady governorship in a male dominated territory, survivalist, gadfly to power, crack shot... just another average 21st century female...

It really seems like that is what constitutes the vast majority of the GOP these days sadly.

Considering current events, vet, I want to say that our government has become so utterly dysfunctional that it is just a national embarrassment at this point, and I mean both parties.

But what really gets me is that the dysfunction of our government is indeed representative of the dysfunction of our entire society.

It is as if America has been swept with mass insanity on a scale so grand that it is difficult to even contemplate how we got here, how we are going to get out of here, and what the real consequences of our fall is going to be.

I don’t see out near future in any positive light at all.
