There's supposed to be a war on women raging in the Republican Party according to the Democrats. I happen to be a GOP woman and am still wondering why I'm not being attacked by my fellow conservatives. I guess I just don't get out enough.
From what I've been able to glean this so-called war is really about getting somebody reelected. Of course the person I am referring to is President Obama. He doesn't have a sound presidential record to campaign on. The economy has gotten worse, not better. His signature bill, (Obamacare), that has been disliked by the majority of Americans since it was voted into law is in front of the Supreme Court because twenty six states have filed suit contending it is unconstitutional. Gas & oil prices have doubled under his term, and instead of promoting American oil excavation he has curtailed such endeavors. He has stalled the potential fuel relief, and potential employment that the Keystone pipeline would offer. He has enacted cap & trade policies which influence electricity prices, not to mention the people in coal industry related jobs who are out of work because the Obama Regime has targeted the coal industry. I could also include failed government crony-capitalism investments that have failed, (Solyndra), along with all the other mistakes and missteps this president has made.
When you are trying to get reelected you might be able to slough off one mistake, or even two, but when everything you've done negatively impacts the lives of the American people you can't run on your record. You have to develop a new game plan, and Mr. Obama's game plan is very simple. Divide and Conquer. He understands that a house divided against itself can not stand, and as each day passes I become more convinced that he doesn't necessarily want this country as we know it to continue standing. He is pitting republicans against democrats, well that isn't new. He has tried to segregate the top 1% money makers in this country from the other 99%. He has represented the US as being anti-semitic in his foreign policy. Every stance he takes breeds controversy, contention, and ire. If he isn't trying to invoke a second civil war in this country his actions sure do contradict his intentions.
His latest gambit targets women, (mostly because of the high percentage of women who vote democrat). According to Obama and the DNC the GOP doesn't respect women. I beg to differ. If a woman wants to start a business in this country, and become successful in doing so she isn't going to go to the democrats for advice, or leadership. The party that promotes private enterprise, less government restrictions, and lower taxes is the republican party. That same woman would go to the democrats if she wanted a government-run business that didn't really belong to her.
Most conservatives feel very strongly that everyone should be responsible for their actions. Most of us believe in the sanctity of marriage, but do not oppose divorce for those who seek it. Some are opposed to divorce for personal and religious reasons. The majority support strong laws when it comes to dead-beat divorced parents who don't take care of their young. Some, because of religious views don't believe in contraception. Some admit their religion is opposed to contraception, but personally ignore the mandate. Some conservatives have no personal opinion for, or against contraception. There's two things most GOP supporters will agree upon when it comes to contraception: 1- The constitution prohibits the government from mandating any religious practice. 2- The people's money (taxes) should not pay for contraception.
Women are responsible, pragmatic individuals who don't believe the people of this country are responsible for the outcome every time someone chooses to have sex. Politicians can spin it however they want, but the truth of the matter is that the war is about government interference in personal and religious practices. It has nothing to do with women and the GOP.
The best way for me to not get side-tracked in this election is to stay focused on what's really important to me. I want to see American business flourish again. I want to see everyone who wants a job to have one. I don't want to worry anymore about how much the policies of the Obama Regime and the Hitler Regime have in common. I want to know that the constitution is being protected by government officials, and that the American people are keeping an eye on them. I want to be able to say God bless America no matter where I am.
