Lisa Murkowski to her fellow Republicans: It makes no sense to make this attack on women
Hot Air ^ | 4/6/12 | Tina Korbe

WOW. Look, I respect that Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski values her moderate reputation, that she’s a kind person who seeks to facilitate conversation across the aisle, that she doesn’t want to offend her friends who are Democrats, but c’mon. She’s going to provide cover for Democratic rhetoric that Republicans are waging a “war on women”? Oh, I’m sorry, excuse me. Murkowski didn’t say Republicans are “waging a war.” She said they’re “making an attack.” Honestly, I can’t even figure out who she’s pandering to, other than to Democrats. From HuffPo:

“It makes no sense to make this attack on women,” she said at a local Chamber of Commerce luncheon, according to theHomer News. “If you don’t feel this is an attack, you need to go home and talk to your wife and your daughters.” She also said that she would continue to support funding for Planned Parenthood, adding that the courts have affirmed a legal right to an abortion and she stands by that. …

Murkowski, however, voted for the failed Blunt Amendment last month along with all but one Republican, which would have allowed employers to refuse to cover contraception or any other health service for moral reasons. She later said she regretted her vote and wouldn’t do it again if she had the chance.

Each night, Nancy Grace documents the causalities in the DNC’s war on women and children.

Wasn’t there some shenanigans done by her in her last election campaign?

She won as a write-in candidate after losing in the primary to conservative Joe Miller.

I say she becomes an Arlen Specter when it best suits her. She has the character and ethics down cold.

“It makes no sense to make this attack on women,” she said at a local Chamber of Commerce luncheon, according to theHomer News. “If you don’t feel this is an attack, you need to go home and talk to your wife and your daughters.”

Ironically, the wives are murdering the daughters via abortion.

I prefer a RAT over a RINO - RATS don’t stab you from behind.

Which “attack on women” is that Lisa?

I was holding the same thought as I tried to remember when I first started hearing the accusations of "attack on women".

Try as I may, I can't recall a concentrated effort to hang the "attack on women" accusation on the Republicans until after the fateful broadcast, which I listened to in disbelief, by Rush Limbaugh.

Yes, Rush Limbaugh handed the Liberals the "attack on women" issue on a silver platter when he so crudely attacked Sandra Fluke. It couldn't have been better scripted by Obama's psy-ops people. That was a day Rush should have stayed in bed..............unless.............he did it on purpose to help destroy the GOP-e.

I prefer RINO’s over RAT’s.

The Rats have cost me way too much punishment in taxes.

Soon to move up to #2 on the Senate RINO list.

That is unless you think she’s #1.
