Democratic Convention: Banking Heavily on the "War on Women"

       Whether you liked or hated the Republican Convention, one thing is for certain, the Democrat Convention will be much different. Expect it to be angry, negative, shrill, and have little for the middle class to connect with. Chief among things the middle class won't connect with is the attempt to perpetuate the phony "War on Women" and continue to try to scare American women by telling them they will have less access to health care under a Romney Administration. In fact, look at their convention speaker line-up and you will find the President of NARAL Pro-Choice America Nancy Keenan, the President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund Cecile Richards, and Sandra Fluke 30-something Georgetown University law school student (graduate) who could afford $70,000 a year in tuition but thinks the rest of the country should be required to pay for her birth control.
       What Democrats fail to recognize however is that if there is a war on women, the real casualties are the hundreds of thousands of women who are now out of work since Obama became president. Furthermore, far from being one issue voters, women have many and varied issues that they are concerned with. Right now the economy is at the top of the list; free birth control is not even in the top 10. Lastly, if Democrats truly believe that American women are willing to sell the future of their  children and grandchildren (not to mention their country) down the river for the sake of $9 a month in free birth control, they are as clueless as they appear.
