Overnight President Obama’s faux “war on women” attack on Mitt Romney blew up in his face. It is fitting that a gimmick should boomerang this quickly and this severely, maybe giving Romney the first big break of the race.
By now you’ve probably heard that Hilary Rosen, a sometime White House adviser and frequent visitor, on CNN attacked the most popular person in the campaign, Ann Romney, with a cartoon version of left-leaning feminism, declaring that the mother of five who has battle multiple sclerosis and cancer “never worked a day in her life.” (Query why the conservative on the panel sat there like a lump on the log. Maybe a few more conservative women on CNN would balance the coverage. He claims to have “missed it.” Indeed.) No, this really happened. Honest. But it didn’t stop. Rosen took to Twitter to dig her hole deeper and deeper, never apologizing. (At this point Republicans should be humming Dayenu.)
But it didn’t end there. Obama political hacks David Axelrod and Jim Messina took to Twitter to condemn the remarks and to call on Rosen to apologize, thereby making Rosen seem closer to the president’s campaign (and the campaign more responsible for her gaffe than might otherwise be the case). And — yup — it didn’t end there. Ann Romney now is on Twitter and got a gazillion followers in just hours. Her first tweet was a keeper: “I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work.”
Needless to say, the “war on women” has taken on a whole new tone. Let’s count the ways this is just awful for Obama and/or Democrats more generally. There are a few, so find a comfortable seat.
First, Obama, as a conservative pundit put it, just went a long way toward solidifying Romney’s base, especially among social conservatives who loathe elites who look down on stay-at-home moms.
It is OK b/c stay-at-home moms will be insulted but they are voting GOP. It is the young, single, childless women who vote dem and they agree with that statement for the most part and look far down their noses at married stay at home moms.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
The only stay-at-home moms respected by the Democrats are the baby-momma's the have 5 kids from 5 different men and stay at home collecting the government checks.
Finally! The GOP hit on a subject with some traction! It took em long enough. Denying the "GOP War on Women" was a lie and everyone knew it, The "War on Caterpillars" was even worse. Attacking Women's health care may have cost them the election, along with closing PP and GOP spokesman Druggy Rush's attack on women only pushed women farther away.
Finally they found an issue... any issue that women can identify with. Whew!

No, it was this little spin in your "agreement". Denying the "GOP War on Women" was a lie and everyone knew it,
What everybody knows is it is a faux “war on women”. But...Rosen re-enforced the liberal democrats continued disparaging of homemakers and mothers. To a democrat, you are not a REAL woman unless you have an office and wear a pant suit.

The GOP War On Women When Cic meets facts that oppose his agenda... he pretends that they don't exist:
GOP War on Women??? What War on Women??? Cic doesn't see any GOP War On Women: 13 Democratic women U.S. senators, vs. 4 Republicans 56 Democratic women House of Reps. members, vs. 17 Republicans 3 Democratic women Governors, 3 Republican women Governors 4 Democratic women Attorneys General, vs. 0 Republican women A.G.’s> 50 Democratic women holding statewide office in the U.S., vs. 21 Republican women 70.5 percent of women state senators are Democrats, vs. 27.2 percent Republicans 70.3 percent of women state legislators are Democrats, vs. 29.4 percent Republicans
Apparently even though Cic shuts his eyes to the facts... women don't.

Box, did you subtract stay-at-home moms from your list? They don't count as women. What am I saying, stay-at-home moms aren't welcome in the party, only REAL WORKING WOMEN.

Nope. Those are your words, not mine.
All are welcome into the Democrat Big Tent. Working people, stay at home moms or dads, Muslims, Buddhists, Catholics, Black White or any shade in between. Conservatives, Liberals and every place in between. Gun Owners, Gun Haters, Pro War, Anti War, Pro Choice Anti Choice... All Americans ares welcome in the Democrat party. No matter what their working condition, race, religion or social standing.
I know it's a foreign concept to anyone used to the small tent, elitist "the whiter the better", "richer the better", "Christian or stay home" Republican Grand Ole Party.

Oh, so you don't agree with DNC spokesperson Hilary Rosen that stay-at-home moms opinions on the economy don't really count for much since they "never worked a day in their lives"? Looks like there is a wing of the Democrat party that doesn't hold the stay-at-home mom in such high regards. Apparently their opinions on the economic national debate don't really matter much.
Stay-at-home moms welcome to the Democrat party, just keep you mouth shut on issues like the economy.
Democrats make sure women know their rolls and shut their mouths.
May 19, 2008 Sen. Barack Obama ripped into a Republican ad today that targets comments made by his wife, Michelle, and called the GOP tactic "low class" and "detestable."....
"But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable," he said.
Obama praised his wife's patriotism and said that for Republicans "to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class ... and especially for people who purport to be promoters of family values, who claim that they are protectors of the values and ideals and the decency of the American people to start attacking my wife in a political campaign I think is detestable."
Obama later added, "I think that the American people also would like to see some restoration of decency to this process. And when you start attacking family members, there's a lack of decency there."
Will Obama call Hilary Rosen "low class" for attacking Romney's wife?
This is a double faux pas for the DNC, not only did Rosen attack stay-at-home moms(war on women), but also attacked the candidates wife personally. That is just "low class" and "detestable"(according to Obama's standards)LOLOLOLOL
