GOP’s ‘war on women’ continues in Nebraska
State Sen. Deb Fischer came out of nowhere yesterday to become Nebraska Republicans’ nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Ben Nelson. By my count, she’s the first woman to be nominated for Senate or governor by either major party this year — although several female incumbents will almost certainly be renominated when the time comes, such as Democrats Kristen Gillibrand of New York and Maria Cantwell of Washington, and several female challengers are strong possibilities to capture nominations, including Republicans Linda Lingle of Hawaii and Heather Wilson of New Mexico.
If we add each party’s nominations for Senate and governor from 2010, we get 11 Republican women and 14 Democratic women — 10 Republicans and eight Democrats if we don’t include incumbents. (These figures don’t include Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, who lost the 2010 GOP Senate primary but won the general election as a write-in Republican.) Which can only mean one thing if follow liberal logic:
In the “war on women,” there sure are a lot of double-agents!

I wish Kyle would open his mind and liberate his conscience from believing that his mission in life is to spread Republican propaganda more than it is to get people to think and to provoke meaningful discussion among people of all political stripes.
The chief designer at Chrysler is a black man. The CEO of Xerox is a black man. The President of the United States is a black man. The CEO of American Express is a black man. Are these people evidence that racism is extinct in America or are they, by liberal logic, mere double agents in the war against racist bigotry? Come on Kyle- we have a right to expect that you are not so dim!

CEO of Xerox is a black woman.

And when you have an historic percentage of American women – topping Dole’s getting trounced by 16% – voting against Flip, how will you neocons spin that?
The evil, liberal mainstream media?
Not doing a good enough job of getting your female friendly message out?
LOL.
Other than not having the youth vote, the black vote, the Jewish vote, the minority vote, the educated vote and the women’s vote, I’d say the Old Lily White Guy Party is in good shape!

“youth vote, the black vote, the Jewish vote, the minority vote, the educated vote and the women’s vote”
And Obama having those still may not be enough to get him re-elected. The teflon has finally worn off the Grand Poobah.

Hey Mr.&Mrs. America, just one question for ya… are you better off today than you were four years ago?
Yes, we are. And we’ll *all* be worse off if a Republican is elected President in 2012, or at any time in the foreseeable future for that matter, based on the no-tool players on their farm team that I’ve seen to date.
Headin’ back upstairs.

Funny how all you care about is killing an unborn child that you made voluntarily. This shows how shallow a democrat is, if you take away my right to kill babies I will never vote for a republican. If you truly think that the system is fixed you really need to get a grip on reality, put the bong down, turn off MSNBC, get away from the HuffingtonPuss.com, and go out into the real world for a change. If you believe the having 50% of the people getting government assistance is fixed, then I do believe that you need to move to Greece, all your commie friends are there.

Why do women want to join country clubs or sleep with their bosses. It is individual selfishness that fuels these people the same way it fuels Herman Cain. Palin is a perfect example. The Republican Party is where the rich hang out and the people used by the rich. Good money being a token.

It’s also for people willing to work for what they want.

Read the first page of comments. All men – including the author – agree or take offense with each other A woman/girl comments logically and with great vigor at 12:48 and is completely ignored.
It’s obvious to some.

Yes, Im sure you do. The same people who defaulted on home loans, pontiac lease paymints, credit card debt…yup, the typical Obama voter.
