Why Republicans Need a War on Religion By Tina Dupuy Republicans didn’t set out to have a war on women; they wanted a war on religion. Their intention was to march two Republican-created boogiemen into a battle that would make the War on Christmas cringe: ObamaCare and ObamaIsAMuslim. The Affordable Care Act stipulates birth control be included in insurance coverage instead of forcing women to pay out of pocket for such medications. This was the shot across the bow for the GOP to start their war. Republican sage, Congressman Darrell Issa, called a bunch of men of faith (yes, all men) to testify to Congress how the provision in the health care law regarding birth control would adversely affect them.
Then the right-wing echosphere spent the next week bouncing the sound bite: “This isn’t about contraception, this is about religious freedom.”
America’s right-wing: Afraid of Muslims, suspicious of Mormons, terrified of atheists and martyrs of religious freedom.
Republicans botched their war on religion with the word “slut.” Oh and by proposing laws against women getting equal pay, and a right to privacy or recourse if a doctor lies to them. The Chairman of the RNC, Reince Priebus, said the war on women is imaginary at the same moment Republican legislators around the country were introducing bills eroding women’s rights. So the war over what kind of war this was – religion or women – was lost by Republicans. Their best efforts to get a fruitful campaign about religious liberty backfired into a debate about gender equality.

Both parties with their relentless pursuit of fake crisis issues serves both equally well. It's just a food fight at best! The sheople are the only ones falling for the rhetoric!
There is no REAL war on anything except for the minds and emotions of the people. That's how you sway votes! It is pure rhetorical manipulation.

First general election Gallup poll shows Romney edging Obama

The first Gallup poll of the general election campaign shows Mitt Romney edging out President Obama, a close result that both parties expect will be the case through much of the next seven months.
The former Massachusetts governor, emerging from a difficult and longer-than-expected Republican nomination battle, has the support of 47% of registered voters nationwide, while the president has the support of 45%. Two percent of voters said they supported another candidate, while 7% were undecided.
“Unmarried women don’t like the GOP economic arguments and they don’t agree with what is happening in terms of argument about birth control.”
The Republican casualties in the “War on Women” are mounting. According to a new Democracy Corps/Women’s Voices. Women’s Vote battleground poll, the current GOP agenda is sending unmarried women back into to the arms of Congressional Democrats.
Previous polling has shown President Obama gaining significantly among women, but pollsters say this is the first survey to show similar gains at the Congressional level. Bottom line: In the entire battleground represented in this survey – including both Republican and Democratic districts – Democrats hold a 51 to 41 lead over Republicans among women.

The 'War on Women' has been deemed a failure and have moved on to the 'Buffet Rule' and the evil oil companies(again).
Please ajust your spin accordingly.

The GOP War on Women will be a deciding factor in November. It's difficult to win when your party keeps shooting you in the foot at every step! Knowing that the GOP war on women is drawing votes from the Republican Party... they continue the suicide attack, and are convincing women, even Republican women, that they have no reason to vote Republican.
