Here's the real reason Republicans are desperate to blunt the "war on women" claim Democrats have used so effectively on them:
It's from earlier this week and show's Obama over Romney among women by +19 points. In 2008 Obama only had +8 among women, who are the largest voting block in the country, yet he still soundly beat McCain so now that the margin is +19 Republicans are ****ting their pants because they know this won't just lose the presidential election for them but lots of down ticket races as well. If that 19 point margin doesn't change they're looking at a ****ing bloodbath this Nov.
It turns out women really are pissed off at the GOP and they really do feel that the GOP is attacking women's rights. Male Republican talking heads can deny Republicans are attacking women's rights but women sure do feel that's exactly what they're doing and I can't blame them. With the loony fringe Republicans trying to remove birth control coverage from health insurance plans, trying to pass "life begins at conception" bills which would ban the birth control pill, demanding women be be forced to have their vaginas probed, trying to repeal equal pay for equal work rules for women, and a host of other stuff...
The best thing the GOP could do for themselves is muzzle their loony fringe and at least pretend to care about doing something about jobs but they won't; they'll continue doing what they've been doing for the last three years. Deliberately trying to make the economy worse while pushing a far right social agenda especially against women. Women see that and don't like it thus the MASSIVE shift in the poll numbers and why the GOP has become so desperate they're pushing garbage like the OP. We're talking true desperation here.
