they know that a lot of folks out there in the general public will just remember that their birth control became out of reach financially during Obama's administration so they want to downplay the decision. The distraction is obvious - blame someone who doesn't matter, focus on GOTV for 2014, and get ready for Hillary. That's the game plan and they're sticking with it.

The focus on this site is voting/elections. It isn't a bad thing to vote, imo, but letting it limit the conversation is short-sighted. Much smarter to listen to folks questions and answer them because if you don't someone else will.
