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..

In 2009 when the base was dispirited and the Repub chiefs were cowering and trying to blend in, Sarah Palin was the one who rallied the base.

In 2010, Sarah helped galvanize the base to the polls. Several congress reps, senators, and governors can thank her for her efforts - including Nikki Haley, and Boehner who got the job as speaker.

Wait'll those phone calls and emails start piling up closer to the elections. They (GOP and RNC) are going to get no donations and an earful they aren't going to want to hear.

Priebus is jealous that he wasn’t nominated for Woman Of The Year.

I say let ‘em fester in their apparent ignorance and probable hatred.

They aren’t half the woman Sarah is, and I’m guessing they are weak little men/boys or out of touch women.

Screw ‘em. Nothing you or I say is going to move them off their corner.

As for Reince, I can’t figure out how that little weasel still has a job. He is utterly useless.

I came across some of his posts when I was looking for one of my old ones about Palin.

Staytrue is a pro-abortion, anti-conservative, who doesn’t understand the tea party and conservatives, naturally Palin is at the top of the list for his type.

Sarah was 100% right on Putin. Reince Pukus needs to be fired.

Him and about 60% of the GOP establishment! Time to clean house boys (and girls)

Mr. Rancid Prius can take his RNC and GOPee establishment buddies (Karl Rove, are you there?) and stick it “where the sun don't shine”.

“Working Where The Sun Don't Shine” (The Colorectal Surgeon's Song) by George Bowser and Ricky Blue.

We praise the colorectal surgeon
Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don't shine

Respect the colorectal surgeon
It's a calling few would crave
Lift up your hands and join us
Let's all do the finger wave

When it comes to spreading joy
There are many techniques
Some spread joy to the world
And others just spread cheeks

Some may think the cardiologist
Is their best friend
But the colorectal surgeon knows...
He'll get you in the end!

Why be a colorectal surgeon?
It's one of those mysterious things.
Is it because in that profession
There are always openings?

When I first met a colorectal surgeon
He did not quite understand;
I said, “Hey nice to meet you
But do you mind? We don't shake hands.”

He sailed right through medical school
Because he was a whiz
Oh but he never thought of psychology
Though he read passages.

A doctor he wanted to be
For golf he loved to play,
But this is not quite what he meant...
By eighteen holes a day!

Praise the colorectal surgeon
Misunderstood and much maligned
Slaving away in the heart of darkness
Working where the sun don't shine!

Got a cal from RNC asking who I preferred for President in 2016 When I said Sarah Palin, he responded well, its a long time till 2016 (under my breath, then why are you asking now?).

He then went into robot-read mode about SWMNBN. I had to yell at him to stop. I said that I am a Conservative, not a Republican and that’s how I will vote. As if not hearing me, he continued reading. I stopped him again and told him that is the GOP’s problem, you want our money and our votes only. I went on about GOP stabbing Conservatives in the back and not having done anything but blast Conservatives. He finally gave up.
