That is such a great insight, PM. We hear this stuff about women all the time, but what if it were reversed.
What if we had Obama arguing nationally for free rubbers for men.
Can you imagine a single man whose vote would be swayed by that? Surely women see how dumb the contraceptive argument has become.
Vote for me because I'll get you a free pill??? a free diaphragm???
That is such an empty, ignorant, national level campaign strategy. C'mon....surely there's more than that!
It's an insult to any woman, I'd think. What female voter could it possibly appeal to except Sandra Fluck...and she's so well-heeled already that you know she's lying.
Freebies appeal to people who aren’t principled or smart enough to realize there is a price paid somewhere for that freebie. The contraception/abortificant freebies are designed to not only appeal to the “freebie” crowd, but also to those whose main issue is abortion. It makes no sense, but the way this mandate to insurance companies was framed was that the administration was making sure womens’ rights are protected (abortion).
Fortunately, or unfortunately depending how you view it, more and more women are realizing that the economy has taken more choices away from them than offering “free” birth control will ever make up for. Try buying groceries or other items for the household on the same, or lower, income as four years ago. All the coupon shopping in the world still can’t make up for the increases that women see at the checkout.
How about all the women who have had their children move back in with them....or those who have been forced to move in with their parent(s)?
How about all the women who have lost their homes, their savings accounts, their small business....the list goes on.
The hope is gone. The people who will vote for obama are committed liberals, those who are scared to lose their freebies, and the total morons (which includes the liberals, of course).
LOLOLOLOL.
Switching the freebie contraceptives along with Viagra to men is a great way to ruin the Marxist’s vacuous stunt.
I love it.
Thanks for sharing your view, dear xzins!
There's documentary evidence on a wall in Pompeii that a man running in an election for city office paid someone to chalk up walls with the slogan, "Vote for Jucundus. He gives good bread." People used to hope out loud, when the subject of Jucundus and Roman elections came up, that things wouldn't come to that in America.
