So the Democrats have decided to make their convention about the War on Women, trying to score points on the idiotic statement of Todd Akin, the statement Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Tommy Thompson, Reince Priebus, and other Republican leaders have unequivocally denounced.
They have called for Akin to drop out of the race, yet the Democrats and their media hacks continue to tie Republicans to Akin.
They're trying to fundraise using Akin's comments.
For example, look at this email from John Kerry, August 22, 2012, subject line - Todd Akin:
Dear Mary,
By now, everyone has heard the deeply disturbing and offensive comment made by Todd Akin -- who is running against my friend Claire McCaskill in Missouri. But it's worth reading it again:
"From what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
It's bad enough that a supposedly serious major party candidate apparently has such an utter lack of understanding of science and basic medicine that he thought this statement was true, but to diminish rape and question reproductive choices for women who are raped?
We have to make sure this man is not elected to the Senate. He's doubling down on his campaign even as he runs away from his comments and his Party runs away from him.
Please donate $25 or more to Claire's campaign today, so she can defeat Akin and continue to stand for women.
I've been a prosecutor. I've prosecuted rape cases. I've seen the victims of these horrific crimes. The last thing they need are more politicians who make their experiences even worse by diminishing what they've been through.
This type of language has no place in the public discourse -- especially not from someone running for office.
But sadly it's just the latest in a remarkable streak of statements from major Republicans on issues affecting women's health and women's rights. The Republican Party, led by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, are consistently promoting policies that will hurt women.
Together we can make sure that Claire defeats Akin and his anti-women agenda.
Thanks for supporting Claire,
John
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are most definitely NOT "consistently promoting policies that will hurt women."
Should we talk about what Obama has done to hurt women?
His economy has caused incredible misery for women. ObamaCare will surely hurt women, as they're denied health care and life-saving treatments. Without question, Obama hurts American women every day.
Nonetheless, Obama's party is celebrating women at their convention.
How twisted!
Mark Levin has a poll on his website regarding the Democrats and their treatment of women.
QUESTION: Who is/was the worst woman/sexual abuser?
Obama keynote speaker Bill Clinton
Democrat icon Ted Kennedy
That's a tough one.
Bill Clinton, Obama's keynote speaker, didn't kill anyone. He was accused of RAPE and has made a hobby of abusing women.
Ted Kennedy, of course, has Chappaquiddick. Mary Jo Kopechne was killed 43 years ago in the car Kennedy was driving. Kennedy failed to report the accident. That makes all his other philandering seem somewhat inconsequential.
Who is the worst?
It's a toss-up.
Now take Todd Akin.
Akin said something utterly absurd. I want him to drop out of the race, like Romney and Ryan and all the other Republicans. He has been rejected by the party.
Clinton, on the other hand, is being fully embraced by Obama. He has chosen Clinton, abuser of women, to be his keynote speaker.
There's something wrong with that picture.
And we're supposed to believe the Democrats respect women?
Impossible.

Down is up; up is down. Meanwhile the country could burn to the ground.
As long as the politicians have money coming in and there are groceries on the shelves they are A-OK. We're screwed.
I think everybody that Bill Clinton has campaigned for has lost. His record is pretty incredible. I'm sure Hillary and Bill know this. Clinton will torpedo Obama, no question.
Hillary 2016!
HAHAHA
Yes, Bill is pretty much the kiss of death.
