you remember Sandra right? She was the field general for the "war on women" . She went to congress and testified that the government should pay for her birth control.
Well, her bid for California state senate failed miserably and she lost by some 21 % points.
Throughout this entire election season the democrats made the "war on women" a major issue. Kay Hagan (D-NC) introduced a librarian from Chapel Hill that said voting for Thom Tillis would take away her right for birth control. I kid you not when I say the woman even looked like Sandra Fluke, they could have been twins.
And in Colorado, the democrat made it a point to jump on board the "war on women" bandwagon. he made it such a point that Sunday one of his own supporters was heckling him at a campaign stop. His own people were sick of hearing about it.
But, at the end of the night, it was not about a woman's personal choice.... The voters of this country are tired of this, we are exhausted with this issue. It is jobs and the economy not contraception that drove this election. While the national unemployment rate may be 5.5 %, we care more about the over 20% of unemployed that have stopped looking.
Our voice was heard...now let's see what action is taken.The GOP has been given a second chance. But, be prepared- I watched BOs presser today, and he made it very clear through his stuttering words, and body language, that he has no desire to work with the new congress. The next two years should be quite interesting...

Actually though Democrats got even more of the Female vote this year than they did in the 2010 midterms. 2012 saw a double digit Democrat victory with Women. This year Republicans got 47% of Women voters while Democrats still got 52% (only 51% in 2010).
ReplyDeleteThe Women who deserve the most credit are the Married ones. Single Women dod not switch from the traditional pro Democrat stance but Married Women did.
The married ones should take credit because in the majority of households they pay the bills and that is why they made the economy the issue.
DeleteThe ball is in BO's court. I think he will try and make things rough for the GOP.
ReplyDeleteOnce again he is riding his raft down the river of denial, he claims their lose was not his fault..
He was blaming alot of John Boehner...that he tried to work with republicans over the past 6 years, and it was our fault.
DeleteHe failed to mention harry reid not allowing any sort of votes..especially on the keystone pipeline..
"that he has no desire to work with the new congress. The next two years should be quite interesting... "
ReplyDeleteAmen sister! Buckle Up It's Gonna Be A Bumpy Ride....
i watched some of the clips from his presser yesterday and could not get over how arrogant he was. Just thankful we got to our estate and out of the suburban area...
DeleteIt almost is a tie between the two women who I am the most delighted over. Maybe Calif. has had enough of their crazy political women?
ReplyDeleteLOL, agreed. And it's going to be two years of hell...
