Abortion radical Sandra Fluke is apparently so far out of the mainstream. she couldn’t even get the radical voters in California to support her bid for the state Senate. Fluke is best known for pushing the HHS mandate that forces religious groups to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs.
No sooner did the abortion activist Sandra Fluke declare a bid for Congress than she aborted the campaign. sandraflukeFluke opted to go with plan B and eventually decided to seek a California state Senate seat instead.
The Washington Examiner reports that her attempt at the state legislature didn’t go so well last night:
Fluke didn’t garner enough votes in Tuesday’s state senate primary to avoid a runoff election.
Fluke, who came in to the race with the highest name recognition of any of the five candidates running for California‘s 26th Senate District, didn’t even get the most votes. Ben Allen, a member of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District board, edged out Fluke with 21.9 percent of the vote to Fluke’s 19.4 percent.
Allen was not particularly well-known when he entered the race, despite having a strong base in a populous area of the district. He was helped considerably by wealthy businessman (and former Republican) Bill Bloomfield, who donated about $600,000 on the race.
Fluke and Allen will compete again in the November general election without a Republican opponent.
Last year, Fluke had a rather odd view of the legal challenge Hobby Lobby and other plaintiffs are bringing to the Supreme Court against the Obamacare birth control mandate.
She thinks if the high court allows them the ability to engage in their First Amendment freedoms to not be forced to pay for birth control or abortion-causing drugs that other groups or companies will not want to pay for blood transfusions.
Fluke is so obsessed with the government forcing religious groups to pay for her birth control and contraception that she compared opposing it in an interview to opposing coverage for leukemia.
Never mind that opposing government spending taxpayer funds on forcing groups with religious objections to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs has nothing to do with supporting legitimate health care for patients suffering from the blood or bone marrow cancer that is deadly for adults and children alike.
“If you take a step back and think about that, you work at a restaurant or you work at a store, and your boss is able to deny you leukemia coverage or contraception coverage or blood transfusions or any number of medical concerns that someone might have a religious objection to,” Fluke said. “So the folks who are still objecting [to the mandate] have some very extreme ideas about religious freedom and employee health care in this country.”
Why is every Democrat agenda about forcing people to do things they don’t want to? It’s always some kind of slavery they’re pushing for.
Because Liberals always know what's best for everyone. Even more than they do themselves.
Your state may have a State flower and Bird, but here in California we have a state slut.
You are exactly right. People need to read the article. And what, has she been out of school one year? That makes her ready for California State Senate?
Adios slut........
My point is that there are many “lazy” freepers who just read the headlines of posted articles and comment without actually reading the article. And if you look at the replies to that article, you’ll see a whole bunch of them joining you in thinking that Fluke was done.
Its been my experience that often headlines are misleading, even those of people writing articles on our side - they tend to exaggerate the “good news” and create a false sense of elation and confidence, as the headline of this article did.
A nationally known slut can’t even garner 20% of the vote in a liberal districted state senate race?..... (snicker)
Lazy??? Like I said (adios). i.e....... When you can’t even move the give a shit meter past 20% with a nationally known name, you know you are pretty much toast.
I happened to be surfing the channels when I saw her congressional testimony on C Span.
One overwhelming theme kept popping into my mind....
What kind of woman discusses her sex life in public, and I bet her parents must be proud.
“War on Women”
Way to go, Cupcake!
Cheers!
It’s OK. Shillary has her lined up to be Reproductive Prevention Czar,
You mean her political ambitions were all a fluke?
It's a whole new ball game with just the two of them running. She'll get a generous slice of the California Democrat vote, all the radical vote, all the fruits and nuts votes, all the academia vote and all the crazy women vote.....and she'll be well-funded with plenty of donations from a united Californicate looney-left that sees her as an energetic rising star.
I, for one, would not even think of betting against her.
Leni
History lesson?
Oh come on..would Laz really hit her?
No, but he’d throw a hotdog down her hallway.
