On Florida campaign trail, Fluke seeks a new direction
The Palm Beach Post ^ | October 13, 2012 | David A. Fahrenthold

Sandra Fluke watches her old speeches like game tape, studying her gestures and delivery. She practices her sound bites on Twitter, sharpening arguments down to 140 characters.

Fluke has also learned to tell “slut” jokes. Given the rest of her material, audiences could use a laugh.

“Contrary to some recent rumors,” she told a crowd in this beat-down beach town, where she is endorsing Patrick Murphy, a local Democrat, for Congress, “I don’t actually support just any guy who comes up to me.”

This, she hopes, is how you excel as a culture warrior.

Fluke became an election-year celebrity seven months ago - a law student made famous by a snub in Congress and an insult on the radio. Since then, she has been a walking, talking symbol of the nation’s polarized politics, caricatured either as an oversexed whiner or as a noble casualty of the “war on women.”

The latest proof of that came last weekend, in a debate between Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and conservative Bill O’Reilly. In his opening statement, O’Reilly used Fluke as the face of a “slacker” culture sapping the country’s vitality: “The poster person for the entitlement society is Sandra Fluke,” he said, joking that he’d left a pack of birth-control pills at will-call for her. “Sandra! Buy. Your. Own.”

“A good portion of this country has created an alternate universe,” Stewart retorted. “In which the issues that we face revolve around a woman from Georgetown,” where Fluke attended law school.

Now, Fluke is campaigning hard for Democrats. But she’s also applying her perfectionist’s tendencies to one of the hardest tricks in politics: outlasting the political moment that created her political persona.

After nine months of talking about birth control, she says, “I want to talk about a lot of other things.”

I sincerely doubt she’s had sex more than a couple of times. Heterosexual sex, that is.

I’d like to tell her to go Fluke herself but she’d want us to pay for the “apparatus”.

When JFK was elected; his party and himself stood for getting us into space, and for fighting Communism.

JFK had many deep flaws of course.

His Democrat party today is much closer in ideology to the Communist rebels he stood against; than to the party he was part of.

I doubt that a Sandra Fluke would have been associated with his party in his day.

Modern day Democrats need to realize their party is not acting in the best interests of this nations future. Their party has completely changed; and is an enemy of the United States in many cases.

I hope many of them will open their eyes in this election and vote for R and R.

FLUKE, OCCUPY OUTHOUSE, another in a series of BRILLIANT STRATEGIC POLITICAL MOVES by the REGIME. There’s little doubt why his CAMPAIGN has derailed and is heading over the cliff when you have ADVISERS like this involved.

“...hasn’t removed a commenter’s post that shows Fluke facing a long line of male suitors, plus a horse.”

Gives new meaning to “....and the horse you rode in on.”

She is the Monica Lewinsky of this Election Year, being seen as a female "role model" for the Left.

Lipstick on a pig sure comes to mind, doesn't it?

This political who.. is being groomed to be the next Hillary.

I was thinking more along the lines of Jan Schakowsky, but Cankles will do!

This loser is the Cindy Sheehan of this election cycle, and where is old Cindy now, no one asks.

Sheehan is presidential candidate Roseanne Barr's running mate for VP.

"Fluke became an election-year celebrity seven months ago..."

Yeah, a celebrity in her own mind. Like all other attention whores, once she's not needed anymore, she'll be tossed away just like a used condom, and end up on the trash heap of history.

I thought she was a “college student”. What the hell is she doing out on the campaign trail? Don’t tell me the ‘RAT toadies in the “media” lied to us again.

Golly, this “law student” sure spends a lot of time away from the classroom. How will she ever pass her mid-terms??

Can’t wait till this election is over so this rag can join Cindy Sheehan on the trash pile of used-up Democrat useful idiots.

Kathy Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, Roseanne Barr just aren’t enough.

And now Sandra Fluke makes a quartet of "The Sound of Strumpets."

Sandra Fluke is just cannon-fodder in the Democrat’s WAR ON BABIES.
