Mike Huckabee sets the record straight: Our party is waging a war FOR women

"Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That’s not a war on them; it’s war for them."
http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/24/mike-huckabees-war-for-women/

So when Jim DeMint said gays and unmarried women should be barred from teaching (Here), he was obviously looking out for them, protecting them from, or doing them a service... well, because you know, FREEDOM!

Or when Todd Akin and a host of other Republicans go on about pregnancy from rape being rare to non-existent because of magical secretions or other ways to shut that whole thing down, it's NOT the 'just-world-hypothesis' that pretty much amounts to 'It wasn't rape because you are pregnant and must have enjoyed it'. No, get it RIGHT! It's some bit of super-science that us normal scientists don't have access to.

Or when Fox News went on a (air quote)whine spree(/air quote) because women won't have to pay more in health insurance because they're women, they weren't actually complaining about it or trying to cause divisions or anything like that. Paying more for some items at some times should be considered a good thing, just like when Fox News made the incredible discovery that low gas prices under Obama might be a bad thing. (Here)

So yeah women, job discrimination, pseudoscience, higher prices because of your sex, they're not BAD things, they're all things that are actually in your corner. Don't you see now or are you going to continue be blinded by all those liberals?

whether you are for or against them? These Republicans...I swear...always trying to decide for OTHER people what is good for them...

George Bush said he was bringing Democracy to Iraq with his war....I bet the Iraqi people disagreed with that assessment!

You know he's STILL expecting a big huge cake from the Iraqis for all that hard work he did for them.

I think it may be time for me to stuff 'huckabee' and 'rand paul' in the word trash can. It's just too ridiculous to bother with.

It is the republicans that are waging a War on Women.
Republicans are refusing to vote/pass the Violence Against Women Act.
Republicans are refusing to vote/pass the bill for equal pay for women.
Republicans have been passing state laws that mandate trans-vaginal-ultrasounds.
Republicans do NOT support affordable contraception access.
Republicans do NOT support women.
Do not let them bamboozle you!
Throw all the republican bums OUT-of-office in 2014


We can't let the GOP turn this around onto us - it is THEM that are the bad guys regarding The War on Women
