RNC Statement on Women’s History Month

Posted March 1, 2014

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following statement marking the beginning of Women’s History Month:

“Today marks the beginning of Women’s History Month, which gives us all the opportunity to celebrate women’s contributions to our country throughout our history—and especially to honor those women who fought to make this country a more just and equal place,” said Chairman Priebus.

“The Republican Party is proud to have played a leading role in securing women’s right to vote. When Susan B. Anthony defied the law and voted in 1872, she proudly voted the Republican ticket. She and other suffragists worked with her friend Republican Senator A.A. Sargent to introduce the 19th Amendment. And it took a Republican Congress to finally pass it in 1919.

“The Republican Party continues to uphold the principle of equal opportunity for all that has guided us from the very beginning. And as we celebrate the women of our party and country this month, we continue our fight for equal opportunity.”

“I’m always inspired by the stories of our country’s strong-willed women. I’m especially inspired by those suffragettes and their decades-long fight for voting rights,” said Co-Chairman Day.

“Republican women have a history of being trailblazers, breaking ground and glass ceilings — from Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to be elected to both the House and the Senate, to the nation’s first Latina governor, Susana Martinez of New Mexico and the country’s youngest sitting governor, Nikki Haley of South Carolina.

“Republicans continue to offer a positive agenda for America’s women, as we work to create more job opportunities, lighten the tax burden, and reduce the cost of healthcare. Our policy goals are driven by the desire to do what’s best for women—not by scoring cynical political points.

“Today my granddaughters have opportunities that past generations could only dream about, but we can’t forget women in countries around the world who don’t enjoy equal rights and the same opportunities. Let’s rededicate ourselves to being a beacon of freedom and opportunity this Women’s History Month.”

So either Sarah Palin is not Republican or she’s not a woman. Last I checked, she was both and quite impressive and remarkable at each. The picture he just described above is everything Sarah exemplifies. What chutzpah!

I am leaving this up to you (readers) to respond to Reince Priebus. You can go to his Facebook page, Twitter thread using the post above or under his blog at this link to comment. Above all.. please donate to SarahPac and forget the PC-ridden and rotten to the core leaders of our party. They are the ones who are the reason for our party’s denise. This alone gives the left reason to say there is a war against women on our side. That mantra that is coming from the left .. is exactly right if they do this to Sarah. Like or dislike her, they are shooting themselves (and us) in the foot by doing this. Fools. But this will make her bigger.

What kind of beacon of freedom and opportunity is it to dismiss the most important woman in our lifetime – one they owe their successes, not failures to. It is nothing short of mindboggling and hostile. Enough is enough!

This is an outrageous omission and a deliberate one to spark a fuse among us. I am suspicious they are declaring war yet again because someone behind the scenes must be very nervous she might run in 2016. How dare they? Sarah IS a monumental figure in American not just women’s history. They cannot wrap their heads around that. I chimed in. So did others. More to come..

The GOP for the THIRD TIME tries to give Gov. Palin the shaft.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Not a surprise, the GOP has been finding ways to trash Sarah Palin for the past five years, the RNC didn’t even invite her to speak at the GOP Convention but hey, the GOP Elitists love RINOS, how did that work out for you Reince?

Sir, below is a link to Sarah Palin’s list of Accomplishments which even her worst critic would be blown away by as it is about 15 pages long and single spaced. I suggest you take the time to read them. One day will be about enough. For you to belittle her extraordinary list of accomplishments and courage in favor of the New Mexico Governor or Nikki Haley is ludicrous. Sarah’s very life, to say nothing of her kids and family’s lives, have been at risk every since she came on the national stage back in 2008.

This degree of risk Sarah has endured is FAR MORE than anyone else out there man or woman because the left just hate her more than anyone else.

Just in case you might not know, Gabbie Giffords got shot in the head years back and she, compared to Sarah, was not controversial at all. So, every day she walks around with maniacs after her. I doubt you do which might explain in part why you so cavalierly take a slap at Sarah.

So, to make these statements on this specific subject (RNC Woman of the month) you are either someone that doesn’t get out much or you are someone that loves to piss off your fellow freepers who you must know love and respect Sarah Palin to what must be a 90%+ majority. Finally, your assertion that you are a “big fan” of hers suggests that you are attempting in your post to be “too cute” x 10.

Mark Levin calls him “Rence”(rhymes with hence) or Rinse...not sure if it’s satire or he just can’t get the name straight.

This is a major reason I think Sarah should lead a third party to victory in ‘16. Today's R will never afford Sarah the kind of respect she clearly deserves.

If Palin, Cruz, Lee, and some others walk away from the R party and join/start a third I GUARANTEE they will be a force to be reckoned with. Tens of millions will follow with their enthusiastic support, their checkbook, and however else they can help. She doesn't have to personally declare to accomplish the goal.

Thank you 2nd...for the accurate portrayal of who Sarah is and what she has accomplished.

Who cares if she resigned the governorship in AK and of course she lost the election due to the fact that the GOPe nominated the worst candidate in the history of our country: Juan McFit Insane. ..to be her running mate. DUH.

Typical GOPe carefully garbage. Sarah and we are the number 1 enemy in their eyes. Before the DemocRats and any real enemies of our Country. We threaten their power which is their first love. Before God or Country.

“So either Sarah Palin is not Republican or she’s not a woman.”

Ok, how about this. If McCain had not selected her as VP candidate, Palin would be a minor footnote in history as a one term or possibly 2 term governor of AK.

It is not that impressive.

At the time McCain selected Palin as his running mate, she had an approval something like 90%.

Highest in the entire country.

Just saying.

If your mother never met your father, you wouldn’t have posted that. How do you know what she would have done if not for the 2008 campaign? Maybe she’d be president right now. Maybe Milt would’ve picked her. My crystal ball is in the shop.

The GOP leadership/establishment class has shown nothing but utter contempt for both Palin and Cruz since each first appeared on the national scene.

With Palin, it even goes back to the wardrobe flap in 2008, which was a false story and false meme that the GOP election managers could have cleared up in heartbeat, but they wouldn’t. They deliberately let it just hang out there for weeks, letting the media get away with endless smears and falsehoods to tear Palin down.

They didn’t utter a word of outrage or support for Palin when her church was torched a few weeks later, nor defend her when her family and children were attacked, nor when Dem political operatives tried and were succeeding in financially bankrupting her and her family with bogus lawsuits, nor when the media was laying total blame on her for the mass-murders in Tucson, nor when Hollywood spent millions to make a movie to smear her, etc., etc.

God, how I’ve grown to lose all the faith, respect and confidence I used to have in the GOP!

Palin was guaranteed for reelection as Governor of Alaska, she may have been the most popular governor in history, with consistent approval in the mid 80s, her highest was 93%, she was immensely popular as a reformer willing to fight both parties, and her emergence on the national scene would have happened no matter what.

She has proven to be the most powerful female political figure in our history as she has led us to the right through several elections.

Why do you guys say these kind of things that you know aren’t true? What is your goal in wanting to diminish and neutralize her?
