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..

Governor Sarah Palin should not be mentioned as a part of “Women’s History” celebrations. Palin is a force for freedom and limited government, while the Women’s Movement is focused on using manufactured gender issues to expand government power.

I would not expect anything less from the GOP-E, based on how its abandoned her in Alaska when she fell under Alinskyite attack, repeatedly stabbed her in the back afterward, and then snubbed her at the 2012 convention in Tampa Bay.

Screw Priebus and his Whig party.

Why do so many people hate her? I loved her even before she was McLame’s VEEP choice. Does anyone think she might run in 2016? That would negate Hillary’s “First woman candidate for President” claim and seemingly advantage. Somebody give me your tho’ts on this; please.

VERY surprised at Reince’s performance, all the way around. He was our Golden Boy for helping Governor Scott Walker get elected in Wisconsin.

They sure turn into dunderheads once inside the DC Area!

Maybe it’s because she had that moron from Arizona as her running mate!

How do you fail “to win the Vice Presidency”? People vote for the President. Are you seriously that ignorant?

Not particularly surprising when one considers that the GOP-E holds her among their greatest enemies.

At this stage, they are probably more frustrated that they could not yet claim the first openly lesbian Senator, or give props out in their message to a fervent Abortion Rights Governess who holds office as a Republican.

Until they are complete able to divorce themselves from the Conservative movement, they won’t be truly happy. It amazing that this party still believes they can win every election by running on tax cuts alone, and having no core values to which they are willing to ascribe.

What does “Rinse” (and repeat) Prebus actually do over there at GOP headquarters?

I mean besides lose elections against the most incompetant boob president in history?

Doesn’t the losing coach usually get fired? Geez, even Michael Steele was better than him. I never thought I would be wishing for Michael Steele back
