The War on Women Takes a Toll in Swing States and with Independents
The War on Women Takes a Toll in Swing States and with Independents
Surprise! There really is a war on women and more people know about it than the media and the GOP let on. Whats really shocking is just who knows about it. 54% of Independent voters and 46% of swing state voters agree that there is a war on women, while 67% of Black men and 63% of Hispanic women agree there is a war on women. In other words, the war on women isnt a liberal or Democratic issue; its broader than that (nice try, Republicans).
In a new poll commissioned by Rad Campaign and conducted by Lincoln Park Strategies, more Black men (67%) agree that theres a war on women than any other race. Next up agreeing that there is a war on women are Hispanic women at 63%, Black women at 62%, White women at 47%, White men at 39% and Hispanic men at 33%.
They polled 1,000 likely voters and asked if respondents agreed or disagreed with this statement, Lawmakers in Washington have been engaging in a War on Women, by taking away womens rights to contraception, denying equal pay for equal work, and curbing a womans right to choose.
More Liberal men (71%) agree theres a War on Women than Liberal women (68%) (ladies, seriously? Check it out proof of the war on women). What gave it away? Was it the women as livestock bill that Georgia passed (H.B. 954)? What gifts have the Republicans for you? Well, this bill criminalizes abortion after 20 weeks, even if the woman is known to be carrying a stillborn fetus or the fetus isnt expected to live to term. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. But then, crime has consequences and legitimate rape has a way to shut all of that down and incest is rare. Dont be upset ladies, Rep. England can explain this all to you real slow like. See, if farmers have to deliver calves, dead or alive, then a woman carrying a dead fetus, or one not expected to survive, should have to carry it to term. Because you are a cow and Republicans are the farmers or something.

If you live there, start running for office to exorcize the state legislature of these crazy women-hating men.

I should have kept the link. A Republican Freeper in Central Virginia was campaigning door to door. He said he was very upset that the women who came to the door were laughing in his face and even slamming the door in his face when he said he was campaigning for Romney.
He couldn't understand WHY!!!!!!!!!
