Lately Republican politicians and pundits have tried to insert their dogma between the legs of every woman in America.  But women and the men who honor them have fought back.  Republicans have realized that the space between their own legs is no longer empty.  They have their tails between their legs.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"22Surrender\"The end of winter is bringing signs that leading Republicans fear a chill in support by women<\/strong> after controversies over contraception in health coverage, the Susan G. Komen Foundation\u2019s effort to defund Planned Parenthood, and outrageous remarks by Rusk [sic] Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

The result is an effort to change the subject, and retreat from particularly egregious proposals by some GOP politicians<\/strong>.  Examples:<\/p>\n

\u2013Romney:  GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said last week he would \u201cget rid of\u201d Planned Parenthood, an apparent promise to halt federal money going to non-abortion health services (such as breast cancer testing) provided at PP clinics.<\/p>\n

A few days later, in Illinois, wife Ann Romney took the stage with an appeal to her gender:  \u201cWomen are talking about jobs.  Women are talking about deficit spending.  Thank you women.  We need you.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t be fooled.  What Republicans want has not changed one iota.  They have just come to the realization that they have been caught in the midst of overreaching.  Their white flag is only temporary.  They will retreat and concentrate on their primary goal to establish a permanent Republican regime of one party rule, in which elections do not matter, because only their supporters have voting rights and money to support campaigns. If they succeed, the United States of America is over.  Our job is not done.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
